lish and Americans, but before reaching
our hotel we saw that those were only
the advance guard of porters, small
traders agents for this and that, idle
sailors and the general hotsam and jet
sam of port in the tropics which is the
common resting place of rovers of all
nations
From the center of the town on, how
ever we struck it rich in the Kanaka
line We saw them of every age and
many shades Of color and in every stage
Of dress and civilization. from the new
arrival from the mountain highlands,
clad only so tar as absolute decency re-
quired. to the cultured gentleman in
blue coat. white vest and truly immacu-
late linen. At every convenient recess
in the side of the street was group OF
native women, but there was not the
same variety in their dress. With scarce
ly an exception each wore a sort of
Mother Hubbard" Of blue cloth, and
whether walking, sitting or riding-and
many of them were riding and always
astride-they managed this single gar
ment with the same modest grace had
noted among those in the boats.
The streets are Of fair width, and in
places seemed to me winter than was
agreeable and rather dusty. AS there is
nearly always breeze enough at sea to
refresh one, felt oppressed at first by
the dead calm in the air, and retiring to
the courtyard of the hotel was just say
ing it was hotter than had been led to
expect when felt a strong, cool breeze.
In three minutes at the furthest the sky
was overcast and almost black; in 10
minutes more the rain was pouring in
volumes, which, as It seemed to me,
threatened to wash the town away.
naturally supposed that open air sight
seeing was done with for that day, but
my local mentor, to whom had brought
letters from Salt Lake City, laughingly
replied: "Wait vice. You are not in old
England now, nor yet in Utah."
In an hour the sky was bright and
clear as ever In another the streets
were in splendid condition, and next
morning they were dusty again. | then
learned three things which surprised me
very much: That at least one-fourth of
the entire population of the little king
dom live in Honolulu; that the city rests
not on the true rock of the islands or
volcanic deposits, but on a sort of fat
built up by the coral insect, and that
three-fourths of the Hawaiians of all
races live in very narrow belts around
the islands The interior of Hawaii es-
pecially is an almost untrodden waste.
The coralline basis of Honolulu is SO
open that water runs through it as
through fine sieve, and SO, though it
may rain six days in succession. the
streets will be dry on the seventh.

The Kanakas are described by scientists

it, that they are Malays modified by long

There never was lovelier March morn
ing than that on which Honolulu first
rose to my sight. Yes, literally ''rose,"
for we had gotten close in during the

till just at daylight, and there was no
lingering dawn as in the far north.

surprise. worth coming thousand miles
to see.
There was the usual delay in getting
close in, and we had scarcely time to
view the city by the rosy light when we
saw many people running toward the
beach 1t seemed to me that they did
not even check their speed at the waters
edge, but jumped into their canoes,
which moved off at once, and in few min

the ship or climbing on deck. Our lady
passengers, having heard dreadful
things" were prepared to blush accord
ingly, and the more roguish among the
gentlemen anticipated some fun, but
both were disappointed. The native men
were dressed quite $3.50 for boatmen,
and though the few women who came
near wore each a single garment they
managed it with womanly skill. In
truth, one may see much more reckless
exposure at any bathing resort. It was

fertile little tracts, and the Kanakas have
here and there cultivated patches near
the mountains, where the lava seems to
have cooled but yesterday.
We took what is called the new route
to visit Kealakeakua bay, where Captain
Cook was killed, and of that tragedy /
received very curious account from
Mr.. Broughton, an aged Briton, who
reached the islands as a sailor in 1910.
He had it direct from two aged Kanakas
who witnessed the killing. It seems that
after Captain Cook had carried matters
with high hand for awhile two par
ties formed. One said he was Lono, the
god; the other that he was Kanaka, or
"man," such being the meaning Of that
word. The argument as reported bore
a suspicious resemblance to that in the
correspondence between President Ed
wards and DR.. Samuel Hopkins. One
said, "He cannot be a god, for heis cruel,
vindictive and greedy" The other said,
"You cannot tell how god will act,
and perhaps"
It was the familiar issue, Are right
and wrong absolute, and is the moral
law obligatory on Deity as on mortals?
Well, the Edwards party, SO to speak,
carried the day, and it was decided that
the supposed Lono should be put to
the test. A blow-not mortal-was
struck; the captain groaned and blood
flowed. "Kanaka, moi" "a man, indeedD
cried the skeptics. Goat Oar (True,
TrueD screamed the others. "Kanaka,
no" and he was at once dispatched.
"And," added Mr.. Broughton, "when
the old men told US this the tears stood
in their eyes, for they were among the
few who continued to believe that Cook
was god, or at least superior being"
With the horseback ride thence to
Kilauea and the descent into the crater
all general readers are familiar. Every
body knows how Pele, the devil goddessof
the Kanakas, used to hold her fiery court
in the flaming lake; how the flaments
Of lava, like glassblowers' ''thread,"
thrown off by the fiery waves, were be-
heved to be her hair; how the natives,
when warned by well known signs that
an eruption was near, threw many fat
hogs and other articles of value into the
lake, and finally how the brave Princess
Kauikulani, to convince her people that
idolatry was foolish. descended into the
crater without the usual ceremonies and
returned unhurt to her amazed people.
