and how Kaumalii, king of Kauai,
dreading the approach of the great
warrior, ceded beforehand his sceptre
to King Kamehameha L., thus unit
ing all the groups under the rule of
the Mai Aupuni, or Conqueror. He
spoke of the late Monarch's school
days at the Royal School, how stu

how fond of learning he was. In
conclusion he said that Kamehameha
Ii. died in England, and Queen Kaa-
hulnanu was appointed Regent dur
ing the youth of Kamehameha III.
Kalakaua died in America, and an
estimable lady is called to the high
Office of ruling her subjects. During
Queen Kaahumanu's regency the
land prospered in spiritual affairs,
all the whole group worshipped God
in spirit and in truth, and he hoped
