stony slopes of Mout Hualalai, back of the
village, furnish the best sites for coffee
planting to be found in this district, unattrac-
tive and desolate as they appear to strangers.
Between Kailua and Kealakeakua there are
number of little villages along the shore,
among them Holualoa, Kahaluu, Keauhou,
and Kainaliu, at each of which the steamer
had freight and passengers to land. AS this
generally takes several hours, passengers often
20 ashore at Kailua, hire horses and ride
through the district TO the Bay, ten miles dis
tant, which is accomplished in two or three
hours.
kAAwALoA OR KEALAKRAKuA BAY
Is famous in history as the place where Capt
Cook the discoyerer of the group, was killed
acentury ago. 1t is rendered moro attractive
now by neat monument, erected at Kaawaloa
to his memory by the British residents of
these islands. The monument consists of a
plain obeiisk of copcrete stone, about thirty
feet high, which stands a few feet from the
waters edge. Enclosing it, there has lately
been constructed by order of the British Go
vernment, neat chain fence consisting Of
twelve heavy camons, each set with the breech
inserted in the solid rock, and with the muzzle
closure measures fifty feet each way. A slab,
at one corner of it, informs the visitor that

is not on the exact spot where Capt. Cook was
killed, which is rock near and north of the
wharf, and which is washed by the tides. 1t,
however, serves the purpose intended as well,
if not better than if it were on that rock.
The wharf at Kaawaloa is q mere wreck

is in port. Formerly it ran out over sixty
feet from the shore, and the steamer lay along.

Hookena is famous for its excellent oranges,
and Hopuloa or Honomalino for its ava trade.
They are all landing places for the interior
districts, the population mostly residing there,
two, three or four miles inland, where vege-
tation is more abundant. Daylight found the
steamer of Alualu, the most Southern part of
Hawaii; but no signs of the volcano eruption
had yet been seen, nor any light designating
its locality. Nothing was left for sight-seers
but to spend the day IN visiting
WAIoHISU,
Which is pretty village of few hundred in
habitants, located seven miles from the port
1t is already becoming famous as sugar pro-
ducing region, although it is but few years
since any attention was paid to this business
here. The only mill at present is that of Mr..
A. Hutchinson, whose cane fields cover the
slopes of the neighboring hills. A new mill
has Just been constructed at the Honolulu
Iron Works, and will soon be erected to take
the place of the rude works at present used.
As cane grows very rapidly here and produces
enormous crops, ranging from four tc seven
tons to the acre, and as the natives are en-
gaging in its cultivation, Mr.. Fl. designs to
erect second mill to meet the demands of the
increased cane products, which promise soon
to amount to 1000 tons annually. Messrs. J.
Mott & Co., of Honolulu, have lately disposed
of their fine cane crop and lease of land in
Waiohinu to Mr.. a. for the sum of SIT 900.
1t is not more than ten years since this worthy
and hardworking Scotchman arrived in Waio-
hinu, and bought out rude mill and few
acres of cane for $4,000. Perseverance, and the
reciprocity treaty have made the same property
very valuable, with prospective annual IN
come Of at least hundred thousand dollars.
For small village, Waiolrinu has large
number of stores-at least ten, which supply
the wants Of the inhabitants residing in Kau
district, twenty miles in either direction.
Here, as at Kohala, the natives appear to be
acquiring habits Of industry, which accounts
for the neat appearance of their frame dwell
! ings and surroundings.

About six o'clock p. m. This is one of the
landings for the district of Kolrala, which is
developing into the richest sugar district of
this group. Cane has been found to grow
here without irrigation, and so prolific in its
yield that four and five tons are now reckoned
on as an average crop of plant cane. Already
there are three mills in operation-the Kobala,
Kinds, and DR.. Wight's out 1000
tons of sugar annually. Two others are soon
to be erected-Mr. Davis and Judge Harris
which will add another 1000 tons to the an
nual yield-six millions of pounds of sugar in
one district, one million of which at least viii
be raised and owned by natives, who in Ko-
hala show more than ordinary industry, and
consequently prosperity. Several are reported
to US as having received from five hundred to
fifteen hundred dollars each as their share Of
the crop, the mill retaining one-half for grind
