Title: Papers, 1826-1841.

Papers of Captain John Percival of the U.S. Navy relate primarily to his command of the schooner Dolphin in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) as protection for American merchants and citizens from pirating and other threats, and specifically to two incidents during 1826-27. One was a riot initiated by sailors from Percival's ship at the home of American missionary Hiram Bingham in response to missionary-supported anti-prostitution legislation, in which charges were brought against Percival for inciting the riot. The other incident involved a controversy over the fee for the charter of the brig Convoy used by Percival in the rescue of the wreckage of Alfred Edwards's ship, the London, and a deposit fee for the goods left on Percival's ship. (Cont.) Correspondents include Jeremiah Evarts, Corresponding Secretary for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; John Coffin Jones, first Consul to Hawaii; and Samuel Southard, Secretary of the Navy. Also included are papers concerning Percival's trusteeship for sailors Joshua Howell, Thomas Murdock, James Thompson, and Charles White, who won damages from the Boston and Providence Railroad Corporation for injuries.
