dent, inspected the forest nursery
of the Settlement, between Ksla.
wac and Kslaupapa, on the way
back to the landing. 1t Is in
charge Of William Clark and do
ing remarkably we'll under his
skilful management, in spite of
rocky soil and blighting winds.
1t contains between 1000 and
5000 eucalyptus, 1000 iron wood
and several hundred milo seedlings
besides variety of shrubs, etc.
SIDE NOTES.
The Kalaupapa band played a
welcome aud farewell, besides
playing throughout the day.
DIR. Oliver gave rest and re
freshment to several of the party
at his house, short distance off
the road, on the ride back to the
landing. The abattoir of the Set
Element was inspected farther
along. A number of the visitors
went to see the famous extinct
crater with it's bottomless water
hole.
When all had returned to Ka-
laupapa, sumptuous lunch
provided by the Board of Health
and served by the steward of the
Iwalani-was enjoyed at the re-
ception house.
For the remainder of the day,
some of the party listened to the
Kslaupaps band, while others
visited afflicted Ones, with whom
or their families they had &C
quaintance. The Board of Health
officials held a meeting.
At this date there. were lilo
lepers in the Settlement, and 800
to 400 kokuas or helpers per-
mitted to live there and
take care of their friends.
Those not in the Homes described
live in neat cottages, within the
two villages or scattered along the
road between them. Most OF the
houses have gardens about them,
some of them cultivated with great
industry by the inmates.
The water supply is enough for
household purposes, but not for
irrigation. Its source in Waikolu
valley is inexhaustible and sbun-
dant, but there should be a IL inch
pipe instead of four-inch one to
carry it.
William Mulch had an import
ant mission to the Settlement on
this occasion, having been in
structed by Mr.. Bishop to investi-
gate the conditionsfor constructing
a sewerage system for the Bishop
Home. He will send graduates of
Kamehamehs School over to make
a survey. 1t will probably be
found desirable to shift the cot
tages into regular rows to fscili-
tate construction of the sewers.
Leaving Kalaupapa landing,
after a rather exciting embark
alton in the heavy surf, shortly
after five o'clock, the Iwalani I'M
der steam and sail landed the
party safely in Honolulu at IL
o'clock on Friday evening.
