This relation of colors is kept up inside

Hilo, is almost under a volcano for
which the natives have wholesome
reverence and abandon their homes
when they see signs of unusual activity
in their dreaded enemy.
The favorite amusement in Honolulu

beach and get into little wicker skiffs.
On these they sail out some distance
and then come in on the crests of the
breakers.
The lecture gave those who heard it
an insight into a life of which they
