Missionary records ofMadam Pete in volcanic Hawaii
Narrative of Father Hevriend Mather Celmating N. Kumi and parishioners during the 1808 eruption in the District of Row. The account covers the visit to Madan Mateer and Madun Polo, the destruction of chapels by earthquakes and tsunamis, the survival of some structures, and the perilous experiences of fires, lava, tidal waves, and aftershocks. The piece notes cathedral-like gatherings, fear, prayers, and the ongoing efforts to rebuild chapels at Naokulua and Honuape amid sectarian tensions and Protestant opposition.
