rIvulets that midway combined their forces into
the slvery fall of water that leaps its hundreds of
feet to the vale beneath The weather was all that
the most yerdant 'tencerioot' could desire, the
scorching rays of the sun being held in check by

Of 3l00 feet, while the left, across the deep
chasm that Tradition tells was the tomb for thou
sands of the Yanquished natives who fed before
onward march OF the all conquering Kamehameha,
appeared the pyramidal point of Ianihuli 2II5 feet
above sea level. Far below, twelve hundred feet
beneath the halting place. the travellers see the red
lines that ruliglta tina roads that lead the
homes OF the inhabitants of this lower but favored
region, and in the beyond may be seen the waving
green Of sugar and rice fields, also be.seen
the whitened sand and greenish blue of the Paoi-
nos broad domain. All but one of the party rode
their horses down the Pail, halt being taken at
the shallow spring that nature has provided, q

bottom in safety The transit from the district of
kona to that of koolaupoko was thus quickly
made and the horses were soon sent at hand gal

the tsea- shore the breaking waves dashing high
and the spray ofttmes falling i'll the roadway. The
scene is picturesque and one or two places along
the ridges assume shapes that attract universal at
tention. Near the Makua ridge, on ii lofty pima

the base of the same ridge, stands out in bold
