Il regular line of travel for tourists
between Honolulu and the summit of
Ha eakaia. Some Honolulu people have
the matter in hand, and have made a
proposition to a Makawao resident to

l'aia, and thence depart for the crater.

to weller comfortable during his stay
there. The crater trip is now an espe-
cially expensive one to the ordinary
tourist, who goes to Waikiki, hires a
conveyance to Makawao. fifteen miles
away, ard rides from there the thirteen
miles TO the top of the mountain.
