The great war cloak Of Kame-

During the reigns of eight preced-
ing monarchs it grew beneath the
hands Of cunning craftsmen, until
in all it's fair proportions it became
the property of Kamehameha the
Powerful, the outward badge of the
sovereignty which claimed sway
over all the surrounding islands.
This cloak, made entirely Of yel-
low feathers, is feet in length and
nearly 10 around the bottom-about
the same size as the one in the Ma
tional museum, although this last
is trifle more than half composed
of red feathers from more plebeian
bird which science has aptly named
Vestiaria coccinea, or clothed in
scarlet The cloak was once the
property of the powerful chief Ke-
kuaskalami, who forfeited it, to.
gether with his life, in a rebellion
having for its purpose the restora-
tion of the ancient religion of Ha-
waii. It next came into the hands
Of Kamehameha III, by whom it
was presented to Commodore J. 81.
