Harry Maitey

Chiefs from other islands gathered on Oʻahu while the king was absent, and also the death of Keoua, the governor of Maui, caused an atmosphere of political uneasiness.

[2]: 127  It is unknown, if this situation urged Maitey to plead to be taken aboard of the Mentor, the first Prussian ship both to circumnavigate the globe as well as visiting Hawai‘i.

[2]: 130 Maitey continued to live with the family of president Rother until 1827, when he moved to the Erziehungshaus vor dem Halleschen Tor,[9] a school institution[10] he had attended since 1825.

[2]: 145  After Maitey started to serve at Peacock Island Jony occasionally visited him,[2]: 149  but in February 1831 he became ill, died from pneumonia and was buried on March 2, 1831.

[2]: 147 After some difficulties Maitey got the royal marriage consent with help from Christian Rother, and married Dorothea Charlotte Becker on August 25, 1833, in the church of Stolpe.

[2]: 150–151 While working under master Friedrich, Maitey apparently helped him building miniature replicas of famous castles and cathedrals[2]: 152  from ivory and mother-of-pearl.

The broad cheek-bones are also found in us, and, although his skull is narrower, this is hidden by the strong and thick hair; which reasonably distinguishes him is the darker skin color.
