Excerpt from Extracts From the Letters and Journal of Daniel Wheeler, 1840
The "Extracts from the Journal of Daniel Wheeler," were originally published under the direction of the Meeting for Sufferings in London, in four parts, at different intervals of time, as they came to hand. In re-printing them here, it has been thought that a division into chapters, for the greater facility of reference, would be convenient to the reader. Two documents, not included in the London edition, furnished by Daniel Wheeler for that purpose, have been added, and some errors of the press, which escaped notice in the English edition, have been corrected.
It is hoped that the example of dedication to the service of his Divine Master, exhibited in the following pages, as well as the remarkable manner in which way was providentially made for the accomplishment of his religious duties, and the support and preservation mercifully granted during his long and exposing journey by sea and land, may prove an incentive to others to dedicate their time and talents to the Lord's work, as he may be pleased to engage and lead them therein; that thus the cause and kingdom of our dear Redeemer may be spread in the earth.
The situation of the injured natives of the South Sea Islands, described in the Extracts, and the evils they suffer from the contaminating examples and wicked conduct of those calling themselves Christians, who visit their shores, are calculated to affect every feeling heart with sensations of compassion, of sorrow and of shame, and are, indeed, a disgrace to the Christian name. May the perusal of the following pages awaken attention to this deeply painful subject, especially among persons concerned in whaling or trading voyages in those seas, and induce the sacrifice of every prospect of pecuniary gain, which contributes to produce such deplorable and demoralizing effects.
Not only captains and other officers of vessels touching at the Islands, are implicated in the guilt of these abominable practices, but the owners of the ships, and those who participate in the profits of the voyages, have their share in the awful responsibility.
