Captain John Kendrick arrives in Fairhaven (now Honolulu) on December 3.

There are also two other British vessels: the Jackal under Captain William Brown and the Prince Lee Boo under a Captain Gordon.

This is, coincidentally, when a Hawaiian chief named Kaeo invades Oahu, meeting little resistance from Chief Kalanikupule.

Brown sends eight men and a mate to aid Kalanikupule’s forces.

Kendrick also had probably sent some of his men to help the Hawaiian chief in what will later be called the Battle of Kalauao.

The muskets of the sailors drive Kaeo’s warriors into some hills that overshadow Fairhaven.

They finally retreat into a little ravine.

Kaeo tries to escape, but Brown’s men and Kendrick’s men see his 'ahu 'ula, his scarlet coat with yellow feathers, and fire at the enemy chief from their boats in the harbor to show his position to Kalanikupule’s men.

The Oahu warriors kill Kaeo along with his wives and chiefs.

The battle ends with Kalanikupule as the victor.

Kendrick’s brig fires a thirteen-gun salute at 10:00 the next morning, December 12, 1794, to which the Jackal answered with a salute back.

One of the cannons is loaded with real grapeshot, though, and the shot smashes into the Lady Washington, killing Captain Kendrick at his table on deck along with several other men.

Kendrick’s body and the bodies of his dead men are taken ashore and buried on the beach in a hidden grove of palm trees.

John Howel, Kendrick’s clerk, reads the ship's prayer book for the captain’s funeral.
