The steamer Mauna Loa arrived this
morning from Hawaii with additional
news of the volcano. So far as Purser
Simerson was able to ascertain, the
outbreak at MakuaweoweO, the summit
crater of Mauna Loa does not appear
to have been generally Witnessed in
either the districts of Kona or Kau.
The outbreak of Kilauea is generally
known however and there is ample ev-
idence that the activity there is in
creasing.
Purser Simerson says that every
morning the smoke is plainly visible
from Kau which Is about Is miles dis
tant from Kilauea. No reflection of the
fire was seen on the present trip, but
he says that the volume of smoke COM
ing from the crater was far greater
than it was on the last visit of the Ma
una Loa to Hawaii.
Fire too, is at work in the crater, but
1t is reported to be far down the crater
and was not leaping up when the
steamer was at Hawaii. The impress
sion of those acquainted with the his
tory of eruptions of Kilauea, seemed to
be that the present eruption was stead
lily increasing, and within few weeks
more there would be very extensive
outbreak.
Mr.. Simerson says that nothing was
reported of the lava, except that it
could be seen boiling in the pit of Ha-
lemaumau. No flow OF lava had, as
yet, started.

were for the most part idle apprentices out
for merry brawls, or belated horsemen, or
priests upon a mission of charity, or foot
pads lurking in the alleys Barbara knew
little of London, nor was she sure in which
direction the palace of st. James lay.
Fear of her loneliness. her solitary con-
dltiOn weighing heavily upon a mind over
burdened, nevertheless, a brave resolution
sent her as an ambassador of despair She
would see the queen. A woman's heart
should answer a woman's supplcation.
She was alone, she said; and yet voice
of the night could tell her that she was
not alone. How it was she knew not; yet
scarce was my Lord of Taunton's house
lost to her view than the mystery began
to plague her, the doubt to be made good
surety. In the shadows by which she
passed, the shadow of pillar and gable
and wall and archway she thought to see
men riding wistfully. Saying that foolish
eyes deceived her, denying her senses,
comforting herself with brave words, she
sought to put the apparition away or to
mock it in her courage. But every step
now made it more sure; the number Of the
figures multiplied She knew that she was
watched; knew it as ghostly shapes, cloak
ed riders, voiceless cavaliers came out
of the darkness to ride with her; yet not
so closely that she might see their faces
or change a word with them.
They were my Lord of Tauntons men
she made believe first, but, anon, she came
to say that they were some of those who
had carried Roy to his imprisonment With
d W nope she utltIed d SllSlll pray CT
for help and pressed into the night.
1t was a horrid fear of things unreal, of
dreaded apparitions, which all her self
will could not master. If they would but
speak would but declare themselves! The
very mystery provoked her dread to the
ultimate point. What business had any
man SO to follow or to plague her. She
thought at one time that she would have
sunk to the very ground for fear; nor
could she utter any cry for help nor find
a word upon her trembling lips.
She said that 1t was an apparition; but
anon, denied herself. A harder road gave
music of hoofs; her own horse cantering
set others to the gallop. She heard men
breathing, the clank of arms, a whisper of
voices. Nay, more, she heard her own
name spoken. and SO gently that all her
fear was vanqushed in a moment; and,
drawing rein, she confronted her pursuers
and challenged them.
who are ye-what do we seek of me?"
A little man upon an ambling horse DOTTED
his cap. and, bowling to the saddle bow, he
cried:
ITO serve you. lady, as ever we have
served!'
And from others came that good appeal:
"Ay, to serve! to serve! Ye will not for
bid US, lady!'
My lady doubted her pursuers no more,
but gladly-oh, SO gladly-she recognized
the voices; and, naming the archers that
had followed Roy from Ollerton, and with
them Rene, the page, and Meagre, the
dwarf, she cried In her pleasure:
'Oh, God be thanked that He has sent
my friends to me this night!'
And so, with this good company Of stout
hearts about her, she rode on to st. James.
