AN OLDER FORMATION.

Puuanahula, where Eben Low and
Judge Dole have freehold homesteads
is probably a part of that older portion
of Hawaii which makes up the Kohala
end of the island-of a geological for
nation long antedating the southern
and larger part. The soil is rich and
deep, as in Kohala, and there are no
traces of any recent lava flows. The
only drawback is that rains fall but
seldom, and there is no running water
in the land.
We canped here overnight, being
served by the Jap man and his wife on
the place and by the natives who live
near there. and in the morning started
for the last lap on our journey to the
coast at Kawaihae.
