On beautiful lawn at the entrance of
Nuuanu Valley, overlooking this city,
the harbor and ocean beyond, stands the
Royal Mausoleum, erected by the Ha-
waiian Government, as the resting place
of the remains of the Royal Family of
Hawaii and few Of their greatest bene-
factors. 1t is built in Gothic style of
architecture, of concrete stone, with the
lawn handsomely laid out with walks
and studded with trees, the whole pre-
senting from the avenue an attractive
appearance.
A short distance to the left of the
building is a vault, constructed mainly
underground, which has been named
"The Kamehameha Tomb" 1t was
built some six or eight years ago, as 1t
became Necessary to provide some other
place for the increasing number OF collins
which had nearly filed the main build
ing. A portion o. The collins have been
transferred to this large and spacious
tomb, thus relieving The main building,
so that space is now provided for all the
requirements of many years to come.
Prior to the transfer OF the remains OF
the kings to the present mausoleum, they
were kept in a temporary mausoleum In
the Palace yard. In bold contrast with
that rude structure, it is credit to the
nation that such q building has been
erected for the purpose, and it will ever
| remain an ornament to the city, rs long
as it stands. Few people are aware how
many coffins are deposited here. lnclud-
| ing that of our late King Kalakaua, they
number Fifty. The following may moi
be q complete list of all whose remaint
are in the Royal Mausoleum, as the In
formation has been obtained from sew
eral sources, nor have the dates wheI
they died been ascertained.
The body or bones of Kamehameh;
the Great are said to have been deposit
ed in the caves near Kealakeakua Bay
where those of other royal chiefs wer
laid but as they have never been recof
nized, they still remain where first DE-
posted. This accounts for his name NJ
being in the list. He died May s, 179l
