MASTER l\IARI?\ER, :\IERCHA?\T, RANCI-IER,

PLA?\TER, PIO:\EER

'Sequel to "Ulupalakua Data,'' in last issue. Compiled by request.

BY THO:\IAS G. THRC:\1

T HE first local mention of the subject of this sketch that set his stamp indelibly on the business activities of Hawaii, memories of which are constantly recurring, is his arrival

for medical aid in 1843, following a murderous assault upon him at sea, as given in the Friend of June 27th of that year, as fol-lows:

"The Am. whaleship JI a inc left Lahaina, Maui, April 25th. About 11 p. m. of that day the steward entered Capt. Makee's stateroom and attempted to take his life as he lay asleep. Two severe blows were inflicted upon the left side of the captain's head with a hatchet. Springing from his berth he called for the steward, whom he observed, retreating to the deck. The second mate, then officer of the .deck, was informed by the steward that the captain wished to see him, but as he was passing clown the companionway, the steward fired at him a pistol loaded with large shot. The second mate then saw the steward jump into the waist boat and since that time he has not been heard from. The only supposition is that he must have cast hin11self overboard.

"On the following morning the ship appeared off Honolulu harbor, having hoisted the signal of distress. Capt. Makee very soon received medical and surgical aid from Dr. \Vood and sur-geon of H. M. S. CarJsfort. He was then removed on shore and has since been rapidly recoyering. Serioits fears are entertained that he may never recover the use of the muscles on the left side of his head. All the circumstances attending this melancholy .affair tend to show that it was a cool and premeditated act on

28 HAWAIIAN A._NNUAJ"'

the part of the steward. The only possible reason the captain is able to assign for the base and wicked conduct of the steward is that he refused to allow him to go ashore the day before leav-ing l\Iaui. Capt. Makee obtained an experienced officer from the whaleship Zabinc to take his own place."

Honolulu papers of early days were very shy of personal men-tion, and rernarkably silent, or irregular, respecting passenger movements, which has made it difficult to compile a well-con-nected account of Captain Makee's activities in Hawaii-nei. Fol-lowing his arrival for surgical aid, under the distressing circum-stances already given, a_nd making his home in Honolulu, the name is first met with over a year later as entering into partner-ship with one Eli Jones, but without mention of the kind or class of business, as follows :1

"Eli Jones being about to leave for the States, the business will in future be carried on under the firm name of Jones & Makee. Oct. 26/44.

"ELI JONES, "JAMES MAKEE."

T·his firm was among the creditors in the failure of Ladd & Co., in 1845, as per notice for meeting of creditors for February 4, 1846; aq10unt not stated. Upon the return of Mr. Jones from Boston, per brig Wm. N clson_. March 7, 1846, Mrs. l\Iakee and child are arrivals by same vessel, after a passage of 122 days.

Jones & Makee dissolved partnership August 15, 1846, and on the same date James Makee and ]. A. Anthon became co-partners under the name of "Makee & Anthon, Merchants and Ship Chandlers," at the old stand of Jones & Makee, corner of Merchant and· Fort streets (now Mcinerny's). The firm of Makee & Anthon enter into business relations with Alfred \V. Bush, at Lahaina, July 1, 1847, "for the purpose of transacting a general Ship Chandlery and Commission business," under the firm name of "Bush, Makee & Co."2

The Honolulu firm continued unchanged until a year later, July 1, 1848, when Chas. Brewer 2nd was admitted to an interest, and the business card reads, "Makee, Anthon & Co." The

1 Polynesian, Oet. 26, 1844. 2 I d., Aug. 11, 1847.

JAJIES JIAKEE 29

Lahaina firm of Bush, Makee & Co. dissolved August 10, 1849. \Vithout prior mention of his interest therein, Captain .i\Iakee

sold, on December 27, 1849, the Hawaiian brgntn. Wilhelmina, with all her outfit, to Thea. Metcalf and Thos. King, for the sum of $6,500. This vessel is found to have been engnged in the coasting trade, but sailed for California and Mexico February 1, 1849, under Capt. T. Russon. Her return here was from Hamburg, September 26, of same year, under Capt. H. Schriever, to Makee, Anthon & Co., with merchandise for H. Hackfeld.

In the fall of 1850 the firm advertise the ship Eli::a Warwick as up for freight for Eastern ports, and was one of the fleet with cargoes of transhipped oil and bone. In November, in be-half of self and brother shipmasters, Captain Makee is shown to have made up a purse of $295.00 in sympathy for Capt. N. C.. Carey, for his loss in the wreck of the Chas. Drew, whaler.

As per notice appearing in September calling for settlement of claims, Makee, Anthon & Co. dissolved partnership Decem-ber 1, 1850, ·by the withdrawal of Chas. Brewer 2nd, and an ad appears of "Peremptory Sale of sundry goods by auction to close accounts." Also, one showing the two-story dwelling occu-pied by Captain Makee as up for sale.

The new business card of the firm, January 4, 1851, reads, "Makee, Anthon & Co., Honolulu, Oahu. Importers and \\Thole-sale Dealers in General Merchandise."

Chas. Brewer 2nd and Mrs. Brewer were returning passengers from San Francisco per bk. Merlin, January 8, 1851, so Mr. Brewer was not here at the above withdrawal.

The irregular publication of passenger lists, in or out, leaves one to "wander far afield" at times, but it is evident that visits abroad (as also inter-island) by Captain Makee were frequent, and in some cases of months duration. The following illustrates~

Captain Makee left for San Francisco per Hawaiian brig Euphimea May 10, 1848. He is next found a returning passenger from California per ship Flavius, just two years later. If absent all this time, it may be that he visited the east for the plant and material for their proposed new building, but it is more likely that service may have been later when, in 1852, he visited New York, as learned from an eastern paper to the effect that: "Cap-

tain ;\Iakee, merchant of Honolulu, formerly of Fairhaven, ~lass., lady and two children as passengers from the Sandwich Islands in the ship Garomze, have arrived in the ship GreyhouJZd at N. Y. (no date), the GaronJZc having put into Rio in clistress.3 The captain and his son J'\orton returned December 18, 1852, per clipper ship Eureka, from San Francisco, and he sailed again for the Coast April 9, 1853, per brig Zoe, elate of return not met with.

Incidents arise from time to time indicative of the prominence and varied activities of the firm of Makee, Anthon & Co. as merchants and shipping agents, rather than press mention at the time; nor was the house a liberal advertiser at any time in its career, which would have been an interesting aid. About 1850, perhaps earlier, they were importers of house frames, from both Hongkong, and from the Colonies. Of the latter, two of prom-inence are recalled : one a two-story building that stood on Queen street near Fort, opposite Governor Kekuanaoa's; and the other, a three-story building adjoining Schaefer & Co. on Kaahumanu street, that was razed to two stories during Jaeger's ownership and occupancy, and torn clown only a few years ago to gin place to the Bishop Estate office.

Th~ firm's prominence among the whaling fraternity is seen by their agency of 50 out of 70 of the vessels in port in October, 1850. The activities of that season appear to have revived the desire of Honolulans to share therein, first attempted by Henry A. Pierce and a Capt. G. Vv. Cole, in 1832, and again by Mr. Pierce in 1835, neither of which made more than an initial effort. 1t thus remained for Captain Makee's enterprise to inaugurate the new movement, which he did by the purchase of the ship Chariot, which had arrived here with lumber, in April, 1851, and ·outfitted her for northern whaling at an outlay of some $17,000; ·sixth interests being taken therein with him by Dr. B. F. Hardy, J. H. Wood, E. H. Allen, J. A. Burdick and Capt. Thos. Spen-cer, the latter assuming command. Its first season was of but five months, and whales were seen only once, yet she came_ home with 400 barrels of oil and 7,000 pounds of bone. The next

season, however, she is credited with 1,700 barrels of oil and 26,000 pounds of bone, a splendid catch, which she took to San Francisco for transhipment east. From this, others followed gradually, and in December, 1854, Captain Makee bought and outfitted the bark Black TVarrior, the record of which was not so favorable, so that he disposed of her to Capt. Robt. Brown and others in 1857. By this time, however, Honolulu had caught the "oil fever" and boasted a fleet of 18 vessels before the ebbing of the tide set in, influenced largely, no doubt, by the moving of Captain Makee to Maui, and by the death of R. Coady, whose firm, Coady & Co., ship chandlers, had a fleet of six whalers at the time. So much for his pioneering influence.

Respecting the building of the Makee & Anthon block : the Hawaiian Annual for 1910 gives an historic account of its erection and its various tenants for many years, from ·which are extracted the following:

"The ::\1akee block, north corner of Queen and Kaahumanu streets, was a three-story brick building, the cellar of which was being dug on the writer's arrival in 1853. This was the first pressed brick structure erected here, which, with its granite door-ways, sills and steps, its slate roof, iron doors and shutters, was the first fire-proof building of the town. It was said to haYe been designed in Boston to the order of Makee & Anthon, and the materials all prepared and shipped out here ready for erection. The summer of 1854 witnessed the completion of this, what was long known as the Makee & Anthon block, though the firm, con-sisting of James Makee and Julius A. Anthon, doing business as Makee, Anthon & Co., dissolved partnership December 31, 1852. * * * * For awhile after its com:J.1letion Captain Makee maintained an office on the second floor till his establish-ment of the famous Rose Ranch, at Ulupalakua, Maui. Identi-fied with him, as accountant, was W. K. Snodgrass, who remained here some time to close up the merchandising business, then joined the captain on Maui for several years.

It is interesting to learn that the Makee home and its nearly two acres of ground, in Nuuanu valley, was partly an original grant (No. 653) to James Makee, and part a purchase from C. \V. Vincent, in 1850, hence the notice for sale of the town house.

This latter was a purchase from Eli Jones, situate on the corner of Garden lane and Beretania street, a two-story coral building, that was sold to John Robson in 1854. It still stands, now owned and occupied by the Catholic mission.

The valley home was on the Ewa side of the road, opposite what is now known as the Queen Emma museum and grounds. It was famed for its flower garden, outwardly, the success of which with its roses was doubtless the creative influence of Rose Ranch, on Matti, a little later. Inwardly, sociability and hos-pitality were recognized features that also gave to the Mat:i home a fame beyond our Islands' borders. An instance of this is gathered from the visit in July, 1854, of the world-renowned vocalist, Kate Hayes, per bark Fanny lv!ajor, en route to Aus-. tralia, who delighted our citizens with a concert at the court house, which was packed to the doors at three dollars per. In her three days stay here she was the house guest of Captain and Mrs. Makee at their beautiful Nuuanu valley home, and in whose honor a delightful afternoon reception was held.

This Nuuanu property sold to Wm. \Vebster in June, 1857, for the king, for the sum of but $3,440, at which time the family were residing on Maui.

Business interests in 1855, apparently drew Captain Makee's attention to Maui as a field for his enterprise, and, being the assignee of L. L. Torbert's deed of trust to A. P. Everett for the benefit of his creditors, he was in a position to know or learn the possibilities of the cane-
