The Volcano Again Active-Grand Pyro-
teehnic DispIay-Report of Tourists.


technic DispIay-Report of Tourists.
CRATER OF KnAUEA,
Hawaii, Nov. 4, 1889.
Mr.. EDITOR Thinking it may be OIL
interest to the public to learn the latest
from the volcano, we will say that we
have just come up out of the crater OIL
kllauea (1O p. IN. this date) and have
found it unusually active. During oul
absence in the crater there have been
felt at the Volcano House twelve dis
tinct earthquakes occurring between the
hours of SIP and S:45 p. m.
One of them, occurring at 7:15 D. M,
was felt byu while alongside of, and
watching Dana lake, after which there
was a very marked difference in the
action of the lake, it Immediately COM
menced to boil up in the centre as well
as from the sides, throwing up lava into
the air and making very beautiful
spectacle.
After leaving the lake at D. m. on
our return to the Volcano House, when
about six hundred yards from where the
ascent is made to the Volcano House we
were startled by heavy report, and
looking forward saw a column of sui
phurous smoke which assembled up
above the brink of the pail, directly
before us.
On nearing the spot, it was found that
a large number of new craters had
opened, and that they were sending out
steam and smoke which was not visible
on our descent into the crater. There
was also line of live fire to be seen in
the bottom of the cracks.
Arriving at the Volcano House we
found that Mr.. Maby, the manager had
been very much alarmed, sending guides
to the foot of the Pail to ascertain our
whereabouts. These guides started
across the floor of the crater but were
driven back by the sulphurous fumes
rising from the cracks.
Our host informs US that there has not
been seen any fire on the floor of
the crater on the N. E. side of Halema-
umau since the first Tuesday in May
until tonight. At that date lake was
formed on the side of the crater, and it
looks very much as if there will soon be
increased activity in Kilauea.
We must not omit to say that notWith-
standing the activity of the Volcano, our
host had not forgotten to prepare us a
square meal which we all did justice to,
and are now able to retire to our vir-
tuous couches with square consciences.
Nov. 9Th, 9 a. m. AS the party are
starting for return to Honolulu we can
only say that the native messenger has
just returned and reports plenty of flow

Maui Items.

! A sociable was held at the house of
~. Won Graivemeyer, at Makawao, last
Friday. A quartette was well rendered
by Mrs. Beckwith, Miss Dora Simpson,
Messrs. Beckwith and Dickey. Mr.. G.
Gilhus and Mrs. A. F. Snider gave a
violin and piano duet, and Mr.. John
Anderson stirred up the dry bones with
his mandolin. Captain G. Heinemann
gave an interesting talk on Norway, dur
ing which he exhibited a field glass,
which had made an ascent from Paris in
balloon, during the siege, and was land
ed on the summit of Norwegian noun
tain. 1t is now the property of Mr.. N
Omsted of Hamakuapoko, having been
presented to his father, then the French
Consul at Christiania.
Misses Crook and Torbert sang duet
with guitar, very sweetly. The enter
tainment closed with Conversations"
on the/subject of ghosts, mountains, and
things which most thoroughly broke the
ice.
The next social will be held at Mr..
Baldwin's, at Haiku, next full moon.
Fine rains on Maui, bitches full, and

ported Landslide.
An attachment for bagging sugar is to
be added to our mill, and this will do
away with much labor. The young cane
is in fine condition, and now that the
old fields are beginning to tassel, the
whole country looks blooming.
Mr.. Hofgaard the accommodating
storekeeper at Waimea is to be married
next month to fair Norwegian lady.
Soon the marriage bells will ring in
Kekaha, when Mr.. Meyer who is so
favorable known, will become a bene-
dict. We congratulate the fortunate
young lady on whom his choice has
fallen.
MRS. Railway of Hanalei has recov-
fered from her dangerous illness, and is
now visiting her sister, Mrs. Deverill, at
Wahiawa.
Our Portuguese band which some
times discourses very fair music, has in
spired the Portuguese at Lihue to do
likewise. Twelve corhets, large and
A1EC dII1NCu anu bOOGo are
heard there every evening preparatory
to the music (?) which will soon be
practiced.
1t is rumored that fair is to be held
in Lihue, in order to raise funds to buy
Christmas gifts for the Sabbath school
children. The native women are busy
making various articles such as fans,
hats, mats, etc., for the tables.
The Gilbert islanders employed in
feeding the cane carrier at Lihue have
been rather troublesome. They were
careless and slow about their work, and
when the luna insisted upon their doing
their allotted tasks, they attacked him
with sticks OF sugar cane, and hurt
his head pretty badly. They were taken
to Court on the double charge of strik-
ing the luna and loss of time, and six of
them were compelled to pay double
fine.
1t is said that few cases of measles
are to be found at Hanamaulu among
the little Portuguese children.
A landslide occurred in Kilauea a day
or two ago, particulars of which have
not reached this side of the island. Two
men were seriously injured and DIR.
Jones was called there in great haste.
There is much indignation felt at the
acquittal of Robert Wilcox, but the ma
tives generally do not consider the YER
dict unjust. ?. A. u.

The Japanese Emperor's Birthday at
KiIauea.

Last Saturday the I'd inst. being the
commemoration of the Emperor of
Japan's birthday, the japanese gave a
splendid feast in the fine house recently
built for them at Kilauea. Wrestling
was carried on in the afternoon at which
they showed their usual strength and
agility, the chief of the day being Mat
sunni, a powerfully built man. Dinner
was announced at 6 p. m. and all the
guests were shown into the vestibule
where long table groaned beneath the
weight of many fine dishes. What
added greater zest to the dinner was
that the guests were waited upon by
Japanese ladies in their native costume.
At the close of the dinner the health of
the Emperor was drunk amidst cheers,
and some songs were we'll rendered, after
which the company broke up at suit
able time and thanked the Japanese for
their courteous entertainment.
