DANIEL LOGAN'S LETTERS.

row evening. lnere is lot or
work to do there. Captain Clarke
expects to get 10000 bags of sugar
this trip.
Representative Richards has a
pudding in his pouch from head
quarters to rejoice not only the
people of his own district, Hilo,
but those Of the big island in gem
eral. 1t is q schedule of expen-
diture for that island under the
new Loan Act. One item is $40,-
600 for a wharf at Hilo. Another
is $4,000 for extension Of the Hilo
water works.
The anchors weighed and
there's zone more ribber to cross"
that is, another rough channel
and therefore it is advisable to
keep these notes ahead, for it may
be hard to poise the pencil when
the ship is dancing the Highland
fling. Then it is desirable to
have some leisure to contemplate
that glare. Gardner Wilder has
a glare in his eye, too, as if he
would scoop us on the Mauna Loa
manifestation in an extra Of the
Hilo Tribune.
There are a number of big
planters on board, going home
from the metropolis, as you will
have seen by the passenger list.
They discuss irrigation and fun
ing but keep mum ON the doings
of the political bigwigs. They
take some interest in the volcano,
but the glare in their perspective
is five cents pound.
Mr.. Loebenstein has a CLEAN of
triumph in his eyes, over his con-
test with 1.-The beasts of Ephesus."
1920. Gardner has just called
me forward to see it. To the left
Of the MAIZENA, light the actual
focus OF fire on Mauna Loa is
visible, with its bright reflection
clearly impaired to the superin-
cumbent clouds. Gentlemen, there
remains not a vestige of doubt.
Another prodigious event is added
to the volcanic history of Hawaii.
The Eruption of 1886" goes up
on the calendar.
Now the wind pipes up and, for
the conservation of energy against
later vigils forward, l must seek
the seclusion which the cabin
grants.
S. s. KINAu, off Kawaihae,
April 25, 3 a. IN.
l arose exactly at the moment
[ had intended, being moved to do
so by a distinct smoothening of
the water, that indicated we were
under the influence of the coast.
Purser Beckley met me at the foot
Of the stairs aud in solemn tones
thus spoke, while makinga gesture
toward the deck;
"Dan. Logan, you want to 60
up now. You can get fine view
Of it now"
Arriving on deck and looking
ahead little on the starboard
quarter | saw the Volcano of
Mauna Loa in action as represented
in the accompanying sketches.
Although [ make them myself,
who always has had to put le-
gend like "This is a COW" beneath
my drawings to indicate their
subjects, yet with the private di-
rections to your artist which l
give j am sure he can give our
readers a very fair view of the
scene. Mr.. Beckley is not certain
as to whether the eruption is on
the summit proper or not; it may
be beyond that on the Kau side.
The summit is a plateau of a mile
and three-quarters wide, and an
eruption beyond that showing so
brilliantly as this must be indeed
of sublime magnitude.
Must close this to send ashore
with Beckley at Kawaihae, as the
bell has rung for boats to lower.
Will continue it at Mahukona,
next port. Send this ashore in
case the Iwalani may be going
ahead Of Hall. viii duplicate
description so there will be no
slip up. The Advertiser scientist
is not or deck yet, aud cannot
give you The scene. II is grand.
Looks like pictures Of Yesuyius.
