Marshall Islands History
Beachcombers, Traders & Castaways in the Marshall Islands
by Francis X. Hezel


Ever since foreign ships began visiting the islands, men came ashore to stay--some as deserters and beachcombers, some as castaways, some as traders. This is a list of those foreigners who came to the Marshall Islands to stay--at least for a while. Anderson   Jaluit   (1889-1890)

Anderson, a Scotchman, was the manager of Crawford Company's station on Jaluit in 1889-1890. He is described by a contemporary as "young, genial and popular."

John Cameron, a Scotchman, was shipwrecked at Midway for eight months in 1888. He and two others left the island in a small boat and made Mili on November 25 of that year. After a week or two there, he went to Jaluit on the vessel "Ehukai." There he was employed by Crawford & Co. As the captain of the trade schooner "Ebon," he visited Kosrae and Pohnpei on trading voyages. On Pohnpei he was arrested and tried by Sapnish authorities for selling guns to the people, but was soon released. Returning to the Marshalls, he served as the master of vessels for Crawford on Jaluit for a time. In 1892 he left Crawford & Co. to trade on his own in the Gilbert Islands. Cameron had married the daughter of a chief from Mejit. Finally, in 1893, Cameron left the Pacific altogether. Years later he was the subject of a book about his experiences in the Pacific.

Adolph Capelle   Ebon, Jaluit, Likiep, Chuuk   (1859-c1911)

Adolph Capelle was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1838. He first came to the Marshalls on the "Pfeil," owned by Hoffschlaeger & Stapenhorst. He arrived on Ebon in 1859 at the age of 21. Capelle lived on the island for a time trading in coconut oil. In 1864, with the newly arrived Anton DeBrum as a partner, Capelle established his own trading company, A, Capelle & Co.

In 1873, after living on Ebon for more than a decade, Capelle moved to Jaluit, which was becoming the center of commerce. With their fleet of several small ships, Capelle & Co. expanded trading operations throughout the Marshalls and even into the eastern Carolines. Capelle was in Chuuk for several months in 1879 while setting buildings for a trade station there. Capelle & Co. sold their copra to one of the larger trade vessels belonging to one of the major firms in the Pacific. For a time, Godeffroy & Son was the firm they served. The company had a large store on Jaluit. Capelle was the consular agent for the US during the years he was based on Jaluit.

James Lyle Young, an agent for another firm in the Marshalls, was unsparing of Capelle in his diary. Young writes that Capelle, once a lay preacher for the church, has backslidden. He claims that Capelle has a tendency to see everything from one point of view--"dollars and cents."

Capelle and DeBrum purchased the island of Likiep for about twelve hundred dollars worth of trade in 1878. Thereafter Capelle and DeBrum used this as a copra plantation and a homestead. With their sons, Capelle and DeBrum began building small ships and started a variety of other businesses. Thereafter, Likiep became their base of operations.

Capelle died about 1911.

Frank Coffin was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was a seaman on "Blossom" in 1867 and was put ashore in Pingelap about 1868 as a trader for Ben Pease. He was apparently an old man at the time. He complained that he was tormented during his stay there and finally left the island a few months later with another trader on Capelle's schooner. He came to Majuro in the same year and continued trading for Ben Pease. At some point, he moved to Mili, where he lived for a short time in 1876. He was reportedly forced to leave Mili after exhibiting his false teeth and frightening people into thinking that he was a demon. He returned to Majuro where he later died of a sickness that he had contracted on Pingelap.

George Cunningham   Jaluit, Ebon,   (c1860-1864)

George Cunningham was an American from New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was said to have lived on Ebon "for some years." It is uncertain when he arrived on Jaluit, but may have come about 1860. He purportedly was the instigator of the plunder of the German trading schooner "Maria" in January 1863 when it was wrecked while leaving Ebon. He lived under the protection of the paramount chief, Kaibuki, but when this chief died, Cunningham and "his gang of pirates" fled to Jaluit to live--probably in late 1863.

On Jaluit he and his gang robbed the trading station once, but on the second attempt he was shot and killed. This happened just prior to arrival of the "Morning Star" in February 28, 1864.

Upon arriving at Ebon in 1864, he jumped ship and remained ashore. He formed a business partnership with Adolph Capelle in extracting coconut oil and selling it to European firms. In time, he and Capelle expanded their business, purchased and built a fleet of small schooners and set up a profitable copra business throughout the Marshalls. Edward Milne, and later Charles Ingalls, joined the partnership.

DeBrum bought Likiep in August 1877 for $1,250 worth of merchandise. A few months later DeBrum transferred the deed to Capelle & Co. for $886. Thereafter, DeBrum and his family would move to Likiep where they ran a coconut plantation and business.

DeBrum married a woman from Ebon shortly after his arrival. His first son, Joachim, was born in 1869. Young described Anton De Brum as a "very quiet unassuming man without much education -- the best man of the three partners"

John S. Kubary   Pohnpei, Palau, Yap, Nukuoro, Mortlocks, Chuuk, Jaluit   (1869-1896)

John S. Kubary was a native of Poland, but a naturalized British citizen. Since 1869 he travelled in the Pacific as a naturalist for Godeffroy Co. He lived in Samoa for six months at the end of 1869, then travelled to Marshalls on "Sofia" in April 1870. In August 1870, Kubary went to Yap, where he spent five months. In January 1871, he went to Palau, staying there for more than two years. In May 1873, he sailed on "Iserbrook" visiting Ulithi, Ngulu, Woleai, Nukuoro, and Mortlocks, arriving in Pohnpei in August 1873. He left Pohnpei a year later in August 1874 on "Alfred" which went aground and went down with many of his specimens. Kubary spent some weeks on Jaluit before sailing for New Zealand in December 1874. After spending some months in Europe during 1875, he sailed back to the Pacific. In late 1875, he stopped at Pohnpei, built a house and established a plantation.

In February 1877 he set out for the Mortlocks where he spent a few months--until the end of May. In May 1878, a year later he left for Chuuk and remained there until August 1879.

He returned to Pohnpei and married Anna Yelirt. When the company crashed, Godeffroy & Sons released Kubary, who turned to his plantation. His plantation was destroyed by a typhoon in 1882 and he worked in Tokyo for a few months. He returned to Pohnpei, visited Palau again in early 1883 and remained in the western Carolines until 1885. In September 1885 Kubary went aboard "Albatross" to New Britain and New Guinea. He remained at work in Melanesia until 1892 when he went to Germany for a few months.

He returned to New Guinea and worked there until 1895 when he settled again in Pohnpei. He found that his plantation had been devastated in the uprising against the Spanish. In October 1896, a few months after his return, Kubary committed suicide on the grave of his only son. A daughter was sent to Singapore to be educated in a convent school and later became a nun.

Giles Williams   Mili   (1871-1883)

Giles Williams was a British subject who began trading in Marshalls in 1871. For many years he lived and worked on Mili. At first Williams traded for Capt. Daly whose company was based in the Gilberts. Then he signed on as a trader on Mili for Bully Hayes in 1875. The following year he began trading for Capelle & Co. He was still living on Mili and trading for Capelle & Co. in 1883.

He was deeply in debt to Capelle & Co. for most of his time. Young says of him: "He evidently has more muscle than brain."

Jack Wright   Kosrae, Ebon   (1878-1880)

Jack Wright, an American trader, was living on Kosrae for some time, but was evicted by the paramount chief in 1850. Apparently he returned to Kosrae much later, for he was on the island in 1878 as a trader for Hernsheim. He was accused by the missionaries of being "a miserable wretch, a drunkard, a liar, a thief and a sodomite." He was removed from Kosrae by Hernsheim and brought to Ebon in 1880. He later shot himself while on Ebon.
