try the island fairly, we looked for some higher and
moister lands and found n good location on the toot
hills of Palawai district. Here we found pretty
shrubery and q pleasant place, as we can hear the
singing of the birds every morning. we bulIt a
house, and had hard work drawing the lumber up
with horses from the beach about two miles oh. This
made US to be late in getting in corn and potatoes.
We planted corn on the Sd of April, and it is now
over breast high. The Irish potatoes have a good
share of top and every promise of good crop, with q
little more rain but this growth has come on with
out rain sufficient to wet the ground deeper than one
inch. 1t is plain to be seen that if We got an ordl-
nary good rain we must make a good crop 1t is as
~tonishing to see potatoes and corn growing so well
after so long a drought. But this proves the RICH
ness of the soil. 1t is a soil that keeps moist q long
time. We have planted coffee plants that are doing
we'll, and also beans, onions and radishes they are
all doing well, and are fit for use. We have always
been able to get a moderate supply of sweet mountain
water for ourselves and horses, although we cannot
use water as in a well watered country. Yet every
body has all that is necessary. If some more money
was spent in cisterns and reservoirs there would be
plenty. The cattle and sheep are fat, the mutton is
excellent, and we get as much of il as we want. we
have a mich COW for our use, and plenty of poultry.
We miss garden vegetables, but we can make out
with rations of rice. Re find plenty of ii root so good
to chew, and that makes choice beer, and there is as
good a wild tea in abundance as we would wish to
drink. We intend TO give this place a fair trial which
no one could give in a week or month. 1t ought to
be a good farming country. We see the old stalks OF
sugar cane lying around where it has been growing
before, and we are determined to give this island a
full and fair trial. Yours respectfully,
JOHN d. REILLY.

Mr.. Lyons hoped that no more time will be wasted

spent on this item, the Assembly adjourned.

Another Letter from Lanai.

PALAwAI, LANAI, June oath 1870.
- Nh. EDITOR AS a good deal has been said lately
about Mr.. Gibson's emigration company, and what
happened to them on Lanai. we who were among them,
desire to give our experience OF farming upon this
island.
We will say, in the first place, that we expected to
do big things, when we left San Francisco, in planting
sugar cane in the islands but most of us got out of
heart before reaching land ON account of the suferings
of the voyage. We had a dreadful time on board the
Comet, and surely no one who means to tell the truth
could say q word of praise about that horrible voy-
age. When we got to Honolulu we heard a good
many stories against Lanai, but we were bound to
see for ourselves. We had another unlucky voyage
of three days on the schooner Kinau to Manele. Mr..
Gibson's landing. This is not an inviting looking
place, unless a man faneies rocks and sand and q
b~lstering hot sun but we were bound for head
quarters, and so We kept on up the country, some on
foot and some on horses. There were horses for the
women to ride, but both married men got horses to
ride up, and also Reilly and McCurrana and Fred the
Dutchman. When We got on the top of the hill, the
valley was q beautiful sight, 80 level and round and
green, and the soil under our feet seemed the richest
we ever had seen. Every man of us felt at first sight
that big crops of any thing ought to grow in such
land, and there was plenty of it, and stock to work
with. But the bother was to get to work, because
there were so many bosses, the proprietor did not want
to be overseer, and besides, the company wanted to
form into ever so many little companies. Every
party got their lands staked out but a good deal of
time was taken up in getting plows. harness, and
food up from the beach, and in digging places for
water. If we had put in a crop Of corn, Irish pota-
toes or other produce when we first arrived, about
the middle of March, we are confident that we would
now be gathering a harvest The soil was very
mellow and easy to work, when we FIRST arrived but
the right time to put in seed passed on, and after a
while the ground got very hard and too stiff for q
span of horses to break, considering that feed was 30
short for working animals, and not much water.
After o while all gave off trying to break up the land
in the big valley and as we too were determined to

company with Mr.. Perkins from San Francisco to
this port, and went in company with him and others
TO work on Mr.. Gibson's lands on Lanai, and so we can speak
Of what happened on the voyage, and about affairs on Lanai,
during our stay there but we know nothing about what hap
pened when Mr.. Perkins was acting as shepherd for MI. Glib
son, as we never saw the sheep ranch named kaa, and were
not on Lanai, but in Honolulu at the time Of the events as
stated. We have been much disappointed in trying TO plant
on Lanai, but we must say that Mr.. Gibson has plenty OF land
and stock upon il, and we have no doubt If he had got good
rains as usual he and his company Of emigrants would have
done well. THOMAS JOHNSON,
