I bought a stuffed Dakin bunny from around 1980 about a month ago at Goodwill for $.99.

Apparently, that’s a steal and this company is actually historically important in the toy industry.

Dani for the win.

How delightful and untroubled seemed Honolulu.  At the time of Hartnell’s visit it boasted about six thousand residents who lived in great comfort, the Europeans and Americans in handsome houses of stone and frame, venetian shuttered, and the Polynesians in grass huts, ingeniously contrived and well suited to the tropical climate.  Their king ruled from an impressive palace.  Shops abounded, offering all conceivable wares, and flowers were everywhere, filling the atmosphere with fragrance and brilliant color.

Into this cosmopolitan place, the creation of second-generation missionaries, Robert Wyllie had sailed a few months previously with General Miller and his pretty daughter.  Presently the amazing Wyllie insinuated himself into the good graces of the king himself, known as the Lonely One, and by the time of Hartnell’s arrival was serving as secretary of state to His Polynesian Majesty.

A quarter-century had elapsed since the cousin’s last meeting.  Yet their freindship was of the kind that need not be fed by proximity.  The doctor embraced his former patient (whom he had helped to carry on a stretcher aboard the John Begg, in 1822).  He listened to Hartnell’s current troubles, carefully perused the papers brought from California, and finally gave as his opinion of the loan made in 1827: “The claim is a clear and just one, beyond all dispute, and the amount $7,800 ought to be paid, and moreover interest at the rate legal in Monterey where you made the loan.”

He spoke of the matter to Admiral Seymour, and referred his cousin to papers which he once had seen in the archives of the British legation in Mexico.  Wyllie understood that Hartnell had the interests of McCulloch’s heirs at heart, as well as his own.  As a final measure, he advised putting the whole matter in the hands of Mr. Forbes, British vice-consul to California.

Following his doctor-cousin’s advice, Hartnell got the documents off with a note to “His Excellency” Mr. Forbes, explaining once again the circumstances of the loan.  He was then free to enjoy himself waiting for return passage to California.
