since met with singular experience.
He was awakened one night by voice
calling him by name. He arose and
went to the door, but saw no one. The
voice gave its name and badc the man
follow The man said he knew no one
of that name, nor could he see any
one. He was told it made no differ
ence, but to follow; and was led to
lplace among some rocks where num-
Der of bones lay scattered. The voice
said, You see these bones' they are my
bones: now / want them cared for; it
disturbs me to see them lying about in
this manner Shortly after the recent
ly defeated candidate for legislative
honors for Kau conveyed this intelli-
gence to one connected presumably
with the Board of Genealogy at Ho-
nolulu, small koa coffin was conse-
quently sent up to the locality and the
bones we're gathered and put therein
and covered over with the loose stones
of the vicinity. Not long thereafter
the native was again awakened by a
voice calling him by name and he
arose and followed it to the place where
he had buried the bones: he found the
coffin in place, but the bones outside
the coffin. The voice said, you see
these bones1 they are my bones and it
troubles me that they are not properly
cared for; l wish house to cover me.
In short time material for a small
corrugated iron house went up on the
w. G. Hall and was erected over the
spot where the bones were buried and
is pointedout now to persons in passing
the locality" The narrator said he could
not vouch for the voice, or the bones
getting out Of the coffin, but he could
vouch for the coffin and its house.
At 8:I5 A. M. we weighed anchor
and took our departure from Kailua,
arriving at Keauhou, our next stopping
place, at S:45. This is one OF the prin-
cipal shipping points for the celebrated
oranges exported from the district. In
ancient times it was noted locality
for sled runners sport, whose stone
paved cause-way down the hill or bank,
at the back of the village is still to be
seen, we'll defined. AT o:3o we con-
tinued our course, reaching Kaawaloa,
Kealakekua Bay, at 1915. OF this
celebrated spot where Captain Cooks
indiscretion cost him his life, all read
ers are by this time familiar, and there
is little new to relate. The modest
monument to mark the spot where
Cook fell, is, naturally, the centre of at
traction and is vast improvement, as is
also the neat appearance Of the hamlet
ITSELF compared with the general con-
dition of the place during my visit in
1865. Princess Likeike's summer
residence, recently erected, sheltered
by cocoanut and algeroba trees has
added to this improved appearance.
On the opposite side of the bay is Ma
poopoo, nestled mid its cocoa-fringed
grove, with the quiet waves laving its
crescent beach. Various stories, hard |
to accept as truth yet vouched for by
reliable witnesses, are related of the
disgraceful manner in which the school
of this place is conducted 1t were
far better that the children grew up in
Ignorance than that theirinnocentminds
should be familiarized with gin and
shame by him who should lnculcate
virtue, knowledge, temperance and
godliness. 1t is disgrace to the
Board Of Education, who have long
been advised, and hollow mockery of
the Episcopal service he is alleged to
be appointed to perform.
