ihe Astcnt bt The Utater, formerly
4 feat accompanied with great
fatigue. Is now accomplished with
case. The excellent arrangements,
which characterize all the Wilder
Steamship Co.'S provisions for COM
fort, have not been neglected here.
The ladies' were provided with
horses, and many lively repartcc
and many merry laugh told how
easy it is to ascend n crater.
The indcfatigable j. J. was act
lively employed in transferring to
pastcboard views of the crater, in
terror of the Volcano House, groups
of the party, etc. After perfectly
sumptuous breakfast, the travellers
left the Volcano House Sunday
morning. An enjoyable drive in
the brakes and an equally pleasant
equestrian completion Of the trip
brought them back to keauhou.
Here the party scattered, each fol-
lowing the devices and desires of
his own heart. Some gathered
shells, some communed with the
mighty sea, while others paced the
yellow sands musing on hopes that
| had dawned in liie's cheerful morn
ing, cleaned in the zenith of its me-
| ridian and set in the tranquility of
its evening. But gathercrs, COM
municants and muscrs were soon
called to embark. One lady had
| just stepped into the boat and was
still supported from the shore when
sudden lurch and retreat of the
tickle boat--sball we say it:-preci-
pitated the fair one into the briny
vastness. While at the Volcano
House n picture had been shown
them. The similarity of the scene
depicted on paper and the scene
transpiring in real life had almost
the force of a prophecy and its real
ization. A slight difference may hc
mentioned. Two hungry sharks in
the engraving formed with the young
lady trio of absorbing and tragic
interest and removed all doubts
about one going into two. The lady
was rescued from her involuntary
plunge and enjoyed the episode a.
much as the others.
The trip from Keauhou on return
to IIilo occupied from 10 O'Clock Il.
N. to ) O'Clock p. IN. The naviga
tors had taste of the hospitality
for which lIlo is famous. Most oI
them were entertained by Mr.
Hitchcock. All the residents con.
tributed to make their stay specie;
of ovation. Howard Hitchcock
gallery attracted them and liberal
patronage by the party will ever re-
main as a pleasant souvenir of thcil
visit. Wilson'S Volcano Stable:
furnished means of transportation o
the daring explorers, who completely
discovered the vicinity. The enter
prise of Mr.. Wilson is worthy O
mention. Fine California horses
stylish vehicles and conveyanceS
and rates even cheaper than in lIO
nolulu. are features of his stables
that should insure generous patron
age.
The stoppage at Mahukena was Of
too short duration TO admit Of ride
on the cars through the kohala Dis
trict. Mr.. G. l.. Wight threw oper
his doors TO the hardy adventures
and good cheer beguiled their shor
stay. From Mahukona the bronco
and sturdy cliff-climbcrs returned Il
Honolulu, where they arrived at 81.
O'Clock this morning.
All the voyagers are profuse il
their enthusiastic praise of the com
forts and convenicnces of the steame
Kinau. The kindness of Captain
Lorenzcn is something more than th'
politeness due traveIers--it is th'
courtesy and thoughtfulncss of ;
natural-born gentleman. Mr.. Lyol
AYERS that the general forethOugh
and considerate attentions of tn
company are something unpreced
cntcd in his experience of man.

weather was all that could be dc
