the Arctic, under command of Capt. Joseph Spencer,
and otheered and manned by as skiIlful a crew Of
Whalemen as ever left this port, Capt. Spencer is a
very energetic and enterprising whaleman, and If

under the immediate care and supervision If Mr.

~ In describing what we saw and heard at the
Leper Asylum of Molokai, We in no wise undertook
or intended to give a history of the inception aud es-
tablishment of that institution, so creditable in all
its details, not only to the individual members of the
government and of the Board of Health, bat to all
who in any way contributed thereto. This is why no
mention is made in our account of particular persons
who have by their exertions and labors identified
themselves with the Asylum. 1t may be deemed a
matter of simple justice however to state, that Mr..
K. w. Meyer, a resident of Molokai, has for several
years been most active and efficient as n General
Agent of the Board of Health, a position which he
still holds. Mr.. Meyer resides at Kalae, over the
mountain from the settlement to reach which on
his frequent visits he has to descend an almost per-
pendicular p~recipice, impossible on horseback.
When the Board bought out the kuleanas of the
people residing at Kalaupapa, the business of making
bargains and attending to the details of purchase
was executed by Mr.. Meyer-no small task, as may
be supposed. -
