The following sketch was written by
a pupil of Miss Moore's room for
language work:
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The Sandwich Islands are situated
west of the United States. The nearest
port to them is San Francisco.
When Captain Cook visited the
islands he found the natives of mild +,
pleasant nature. They bowed on their
knees before him and made him costly
presents, but they soon lost faith in
him, and he was put to death. Capt.
Cooks sailors went away for while
and the natives were left in peace.
Two men ventured back and found
the natives more refined.
They are very good-looking people
and are very fond of flowers. The
women consider flowers rs part of
their daily dress. Every house has u
flower garden i'll front of it. The
houses are built of wood with but one
story. They have verandas much like
our piaZzas at home.
When Sandwich family take their
meals they sit on mat in front of the
door, and all eat out of one dish.
Their diet consists of but one thing,
which is sticky and paste. They call
it Pho.
The Sandwich Islands have many
volcanoes, one Of which, the Mamma
Loa. has the largest crater in the world.
While on the Islands you can pick
a pineapple with one hand and a ba-
mamma with the other, and strawberries,
oranges and all other tropical fruits
grow IN abundance.
The Sandwich Islands consist of
eight small ones.
Hawaii is the largest Its capital is
Honolulu.
Hawaii is governed by queen who
is very strict with her rules, and for
this reason the people want their
country annexed to the L. 5. a ques-
tionnowpending at the capitol is "Shall
Hawaii be annexedY'
