A lot of them are Brigham Young's grandson.

Yeah, yeah.

We have delayed long enough.

Forward, on, on to Zion!' on on to zion cried the crowd of mormons and the words rippled down the long caravan passing from mouth to mouth until they died away in a dull murmur in the far distance with a cracking of whips and a creaking of wheels the great wagons got into motion and soon the whole caravan was winding along once more the elder to whose care the two waifs had been committed led them to his wagon where emile was already awaiting them you shall remain here he said in a few days you will have recovered from your fatigues in the meantime remember that now and forever you are of our religion brigham young has said it and he has spoken with the voice of joseph smith which is the voice of god chapter one THE FLOWER OF UTAH this is not the place to commemorate the trials and privations endured by the immigrant mormons before they came to their final haven from the shores of the mississippi to the western slopes of the rocky mountains they had struggled on with a constancy almost unparalleled in history the savage man and the savage beast hunger thirst fatigue and disease every impediment which nature could place in the way had all been overcome with anglo-saxon tenacity yet the long journey and the accumulated terrors had shaken the hearts of the stoutest among them there was not one who did not sink upon his knees in heartfelt prayer when they saw the broad valley of utah bathed in the sunlight beneath them and learned from the lips of their leader that this was the promised land and that these virgin acres were to be theirs forevermore young speedily proved himself to be a skillful administrator as well as a resolute chief maps were drawn and charts prepared in which the future city was sketched out all around farms were apportioned and allotted in proportion to the standing of each individual the tradesman was put to his trade and the artisan to his calling in the town streets and squares sprang up as if by magic in the country there was draining and hedging planting and clearing until the next summer saw the whole country golden with the wheat crop everything prospered in the strange settlement above all the great temple which they had erected in the centre of the city grew ever taller and larger from the first blush of dawn until the closing of the twilight the clatter of the hammer and the rasp of the saw was never absent from the monument which the immigrants erected to him who had led them safe through many dangers the two castaways john ferrier and the little girl who had shared his fortunes and had been adopted as his daughter accompanied the mormons to the end of their great pilgrimage little lucy ferrier was borne along pleasantly enough in elder standerson's wagon a retreat which she shared with the mormons three wives and with his son a headstrong forward boy of twelve having rallied with the elasticity of childhood from the shock caused by her mother's death she soon became a pet with the women and reconciled herself to this new life in her moving canvas-covered home in the meantime ferrier having recovered from his privations distinguished himself as a useful guide and an indefatigable hunter so rapidly did he gain the esteem of his new companions that when they reached the end of their wanderings it was unanimously agreed that he should be provided with as large and as fertile a tract of land as any of the settlers with the exception of young himself and of standerson kemble johnston and drebur who were the four principal elders on the farm thus acquired john ferrier built himself a substantial log house which received so many additions in succeeding years that it grew into a roomy villa he was a man of practical turn of mind keen in his dealings and skilful with his hands his iron constitution enabled him to work morning and evening at improving and tilling his lands hence it came about that his farm and all that belonged to him prospered exceedingly in three years he was better off than his neighbors in six he was well to do in nine he was rich and in twelve there were not half a dozen men in the whole of salt lake city who could compare with him from the great inland sea to the distant wasatch mountains there was no name better known than that of john ferrier there was one way and only one in which he offended the susceptibilities of his co-religionists no argument or persuasion could ever induce him to set up a female establishment after the manner of his companions he never gave reasons for this persistent refusal but contented himself by resolutely and inflexibly adhering to his determination there were some who accused him of lukewarmness in his adopted religion and others who put it down to greed of wealth and reluctance to incur expense others again spoke of some early love affair and of a fair-haired girl who had pined away on the shores of the atlantic whatever the reason ferrier remained strictly celibate in every other respect he conformed to the religion of the young settlement and gained the name of being an orthodox and straight-walking man lucy ferrier grew up within the log house and assisted her adopted father in all his undertakings the keen air of the mountains and the balsamic odor of the pine trees took the place of nurse and mother to the young girl as year succeeded to year she grew taller and stronger her cheek more ruddy and her step more elastic many a wayfarer upon the high road which ran by ferrier's farm felt long-forgotten thoughts revive in their mind as they watched her lithe girlish figure tripping through the wheat-fields or met her mounted upon her father's mustang and managing it with all the ease and grace of a true child of the west so the bud blossomed into a flower and the year which saw her father the richest of the farmers left her as fair a specimen of american girlhood as could be found in the whole pacific slope it was not the father however who first discovered that the child had developed into the woman it seldom is in such cases that mysterious change is too subtle and too gradual to be measured by dates least of all does the maiden herself know it until the tone of a voice or the touch of a hand sets her heart thrilling within her and she learns with a mixture of pride and of fear that a new and a larger nature has awoken within her there are few who cannot recall that day and remember the one little incident which heralded the dawn of a new life in the case of lucy ferrier the occasion was serious enough in itself apart from its future influence on her destiny and that of many besides It was a warm June morning, and the latter-day saints were as busy as the bees whose hive they have chosen for their emblem.

In the fields and in the streets rose the same hum of human industry.

Down the dusty high roads defiled long streams of heavily laden mules, all heading to the west, for the gold fever had broken out in California, and the overland route lay through the city of the elect.

He claimed on the strength of a romantic story to be the heir of a great English house.

He had played a part in a revolt in Java, had languished in Dutch fetters, and had risen to be a trusted agent of Brigham Young, the Utah president.

It was in this character of a Mormon emissary that he first came to the islands of Hawaii, where he collected a large sum of money for the Church of the Latter-day Saints.

At a given moment he dropped his saintship and appeared as a Christian and the owner of a part of the island of Lanai.
