MARINE
A Last Chance at
Beach Lots!

WHERE THE ROAD LEAVES
w Kapiolani Park on the east, it
passes a few houses and then comes out |
on an open space skirting the ocean.
This is low and level at first, but further !
on rises to higher ground, whence the |
views seward, south and west, are |
genuine TiSt0s of HdV0ii. The |
lapis-lazuli of the deep sea, starred with
the sails of passing vessels, breaks into
turbulent foam where it meets the outer
reef, and sliding its snow-white and
swift avalanches +" into the inner lagoon,
the waters, taking their tone from the
corals below and the skies above, now
break forth into an extravaganza OF color
as they hasten in subdued merriment 10
the shore of yellow sand. In stiffness
far away, like phantoms, rise the hills OF
Waianae," while the bald-headed sum-
nit OF Diamond Head looms up behind,
almost over you, with startling distinct
ness, but with a benignant and fatherly
expression withal.
Besides this ideal environment,
aqua Marine enjoys some substantial
| advantages as we'll. This strip of land
between the road and the shore is di
vided into ten large lots, varying in size
from half to three-quarters of an acre,
each one fronting makai on the sea and
mauka on the road for from 100 to $50
feet. Government water is laid on along
the fronts of these lots on the road. The
sea-bathing is not very good as re CARDS
the footing on account of the coral, but
can be improved by dynamite as re-
CARDS the sea-water it is tirst-class. The
trade winds are not sh ut off by Diamond
Head, but, sweeping around the south
east side of the bluff, blow freshly across
these lots from the sea, the wind being
perceptibly cooled by its passage over
the water and carrying with it the tonic
quality of the salt spray. The reef is a
famous fishing ground, and the fish are
free to those who can Circumvent them.
Shellfish are abundant and ambrosal.
The road skirting these lots is being
extended by the Park Association, and
further on has been carried high up
along the face of the bluff, giving a wide
ami beautiful outlook Ii rs o be con-
tinued around Diamond He'd retur, ing
to the Park on its mauk side ani when
finished will be one of the most piciur-
esque drives near Honolulu, Astounding
in great variety of delicious views.
The tramway is to be extended
through the Park, which will bring il
within five minutes walk from AgHd
Marine.
Ii the Oahu Railroad is extended ir
this direction according to its prelimin
airy surveys, it VIII come within few
rods of these lots, which would bring
them within fifteen minutes OF Homo
lulu.

Henry Bertelmann for $500 piece, and

few months attention and irrigation
they have received. The rest are
