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 VtStdS of Ha1Odii. 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 to
the shore of yellow sand. Gin 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 benignant and fatherly
expression withal.
Besides this ideal environment,
| A9ua-Adrjne enjoys some substantial
advantages as well. This strip of land
between the road and the shore is di-
vided into ten large lots, varying in size
/
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 regards
the footing on account of the coral, but
can be improved by dynamite ; as re-
CARDS the sea-water it is first-class. The
trade winds are not shut 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 ambrosial.
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
