If my memory serves me, We were on the subject Of
fishing As generally practced, the art is different in
most Of its accidents from that which gentle Izaac
Walton professed. Now and then, indeed, you see a
solitary angler perched upon beetling mass of rock,
quietly watching his submerged bait, regardless alike
Of the burning sun and the floating hours. But a
usual thing they fish in companies, two, three or four
in a canoe, and the canoes amounting sometimes to
thirty and more all taking part in mutual operation.
But you look from the beach pull along the shore,
singh frequently attracts the eye, the
people in it, with their heads bent down. looking to the
bottom with professional eye whilst two of the
party, with paddles gently used, move the little skf
backward and forward and lateraly till it rests
the object desired, which, in that kind of fishing am
now more particularly alludng to, is a coral chamber
with two apertures One of the party, nearly in
state of nature common decency allows, then dives
to the bottom and armed with net of peculiar con-
struction in one hand and stick wand in the other
places the first named implement over of the en-
frances and inserts the second into the other upon which
the fish within the cavity frightened out of nap, make
for the opening opposite that through which the stick
found ngress and become netted Judging by the few
that have timed, should say that the diver is below
water the average for from forty to sixty seconds
Both unite in prosecuting this species of industry
they do in most others proper to Kaaina country
places, and the and apoHa5 with which they act,
whether on or below the surface of the WATER is mat
ter of envy at least to me- and cannot but laugh to
see foreigners in the performance of what they consd
feats, look alarmed they re really quite alarm

The King has hereditary fondness for piscatorial
sports, and seems above ALL to enjoy what may be call
ed hunting the aku bonto. This is quite exciting
pastime. Having got on to the ground you look all
round you for the fish in schools shoals, whatever
else the proper term may be- leapng from the brine

are hardly moved tits silence all, and breathing

strainng is observed by of the party and the cry
is, Pull pull, pull. in the vernacular, 'HOe, hoe,
hoe'' The greatest excitement prevails. Sometimes
the men, give additional length the stroke, stand
up in the canoe, which flies through the water They
sweat they puff, they stimulate each other. Suddenly
with a simultaneous understanding they cease from
their abors and wipe the perspraon from their brows
The chase has escaped them. and they are in the
case of dogs al fault. But the fish are seen again-o

they get into the shoal of the party sits in the
