NAMED on account of rough seas
under lee of the cliffs all night, pro-

valley, but did not go ashore on
account of stormy weather. Eon.
SamI Parker and a few others of
the male members of the party
went ashore in a canoe with
great difficulty. Those who
landed held a lengthy con-
versation with the people who
met them on the beach. The visit
at this place was somewhat unex-
pected by the people which &C
counted for the comparative few
who received them. On Tuesday,
2lst inst, they cast anchor off the
southwest coast of Niihau at noon.
ALI of the party went ashore where
they were feasted and entertained
by the residents till II P. M, which
was the time of departure for Wal
mea, arriving at 6 A. NJ. Wednes-
day. They were received by a
deputation of citizens and troop
of Hawaiian girls in uniform, the
latter bearing kahilis. The enthu-.
siasm at Walmea was unbounded.
The reception was very cordial
and hearty. A hookupu was given
Her Majesty. Friday a ball and
a reception were held.
From Waimea they were driven
by a four-in-hand to Koloa. At
Eleele the party stopped for lunch
at Mr.. Dreier's residence. The
lunch was in native style, under
the superintendent of Mrs. Dreier.
1t proved to be one of the most
elaborate affairs of the whole tour
of the islands. Every one, natives
as we'll as others, was load in
praises of it. Outside of Koloa a
committee met the travellers, form
ing an escort to the Lanihau prem
lses where everything was gaily
decorated; in fact, the whole route
was one display of welcome. After
dinner a reception was held and
speeches were made. The address
of welcome was spoken by Judge
Hardy. Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Sam'l Parker, in spite of his asser-
ton at the Oahu College jubilee
that he was not an orator, made a
splendid speech, calling forth
great deal of applause.
Saturday the visitors started
homeward, stopping again at the
sea residence of Hon. w. 81. Rice
at Nawiliwili, where another feast
was prepared in anticipation of
their coming. Fully 1000 people
were present, and between 700 and
800 sat down to eat. It was grand
affair. The steamer Mikahala left
Nawiliwili at 5:45 A. NJ.
Mention must also be made of
the visit to the barking sands" at
Mana, having gone there by spe-
cial train Thursday, 10th inst. On
the return to Waimea Her Majesty
was entertained at dinner by Messrs.
Kruse and Myer at Kekaha.
On the Queens arrival OF Wal
mea a royal salute was fired in her
honor from the old fort at the en-
trance of the Waimea river.
