and for ears the storm was still.
In the middle of the night we were awakened
by the bowling of wolves. Our first thought was
of the horses; seized guns, which hung just
beneath the top of the wagon, and climbed out
into the storm The vine covered thornbush had
protected our fire from the rain, and the wind had
famed the logs into blaze.
when we climbed down from the wagon we
saw that doe, with fawn by her side, stood
painting between us and the fire, not five feet from
the horses. Three or four yards from the wagon

eyes cleaning with reflected light like redhot en-
bers. The doe did not offer to run when she saw
She had brought her fawn to us for protection
against the wolves.
You may doubt this story; but long after that
night, Gordon Cumming, great African hunter
had the same experience with frightened Gland

gun and fired at the emberlike eyes. One wolf

THE next evening we reached Cincinnati; but
did not enter the city until the following morn
ing preferrlng to camp out and save the cost OF
lodging and meals.
1--WE went to the fur dealer to whom had been
directed, and sold Our furs for the enormous sum
of three hundred and forty dollars Being rich, we
went to Longworth's famous tavern and took a
room We had fine dinner at noon, and after we

had eaten and had counted gold at least twenty
times, we started out to see the city.
I'VE purchased few presents for the folks at
home, and after great deliberation we each bought
a silver watch, costing US twenty dollars apiece.
That silver watch was the most beautiful object l
had ever possessed, and with it in my pocket 1
wanted to know the time at least every three min
utes.
After we had seen the sights of the city, we went
down to the Ohio River There we saw boats
moored to the wharf, and learned that some of
them were about to start down stream with their
loads of freight We also learned that these freight
boats stopped at the various settlements along the
river and that bit of information put thought
into minds upon which quickly acted We
engaged passage boat that would leave in an
hour or two then went back to the tavern, wrote
letters home to our folks, telling them that in

from home several weeks. You may be sure we
did not mention Wyandotte's treasure. and the
word cave did hot appear on the pages of our
letters.
I'VE paid Our bill at the tavern slung Our guns

to the wharf, and went abroad the boat destined
for the lower river and Wyandorte's cave.
The slow going boat moved tediously from

and beyond doubt they deserved their name.
FOR two days and nights after Balser and started
for Cincinnati, the weather was fine. We lett
home before sun-up morning. and drove till
eleven O'Clock. At that hour, the day being very
hot we halted in beautiful little grove of water

awake snoring
1--WE rested till the greatest heat of the day
past; then we hitched up and drove along slowly
through the dust and the sunshine till supper time.
We did not unhitch for supper, but hurried through
the meal and again started on the road.
BY ten O'Clock we reached another creek, and
there Camped for the night, sleeping in the open
air under rich elm canopy. We were tired, and
though ten o'clock a very late hour for us to
be awake, We did not go to sleep at once. After we
had turned in on Our bed of sod, everything so
still for time that the air seemed fairly to buzz
I'VE were almost asleep when suddenly there
from the branches of the tree above us a
booming, roaring, reverberating 'To-hoo, to-hoo,

other till the tears came. threw stone
into the tree, and the owl flew away. 1t
did not go far, and soon again it began to
sing, and kept up the serenade at inter-
walls all night.
After a time the mournful notes of
whippoorwill came to us from the limbs OF
a dead tree short distance up stream, and
now and then the voice of wakeful turtle
dove would come in its sad, cooling cadence
through the balmy, star pierced blue OF
the silence laden night. Once in awhile we
heard the Peep, peep, peep of drowsy
bird roosting in the branches above us,
and ever the fitful signing of the wind
breathing on the leaves, set them whisper
ing, till we fancied that the air was full of
fairies and the fairies full of song But at
last we went to sleep.
After few hours we awakened just
before the dawn. The night concert had
ceased, and the silence could almost be
felt We plunged into the creek for bath,
and just as we emerged from the water
the SUN shot its first messengers of light
over the eastern edge of the world. Then
YOU should have heard the morning con-
cert break forth like band of thousand
pieces!
The owl and the whippoorwill were
silent; but, bless your souls! you should
have heard the meadow lark trying to ruin
his voice on the high notes You should
have heard dear old Bob White whistling
for dear life, evidently under the impress
sion that he was an animated fife. Robin
Redbreast, screaming for JOY, probably
thought he was cornet or trombone.
Redbird too tried to burst his throat in his
efforts to convince the world that he was
flute; but above all came the marvellous
voice of the conductor. He played all the
instruments from the fife to the trombone,
exquisite was his music that the very sun
seemed to hasten forward to catch even the
notes of the hooking bird. No man know

1t win be noticed that none of these
slips are on the side of geo,ogy tr
topography, where the author is par
ticularly well fortified, nor even OF the
historical side in which also he seems
exceptionally well equipped.
In the matter of expression and
stvle, while Mr.. Baldwin has, in gen
eral, clearness and compact, didactic
style, he is occasionally obscure, most
frequently by using terms which are
really provincialisms with making clear
their meaning either provincialisms
without making clear their meaning
either by definition or context. For
instance the word "Pali = which is
purely local in its meaning and use
is nowhere defined in the book, and IS
used loosely in two or three different
senses sometimes within the compass
of single paragraph. On page 1o2,
speaking of Makawao it is stated that
ga well equipped foreign church is
centrally located etc. - This can con-
vev no clear or concise idea to anyone
not intimately familiar with our Island
colloquialism, and the use of the w,'td

abandoned as we get farther away
from the conditions that made it u
convenient term.
The almost universal use of tha
term Chinaman or Cinnamon through
out the book instead of Chinese can
hardly be approved in a school text
book; and the statement that the tfIa-
waiian Commercial & Sugar Company S
mill at Puunene els the largest sugar
mill on earth, though true, is not She
way stylist would say it.
Even some of the geological state
ments may arouse controversy. Mr..
Baldwin has adopted DIR. S. E. Bish-
OPS theory of the short duration Of
the outburst that created Diamond
Head and Punchbowl and similar cones.
And it is almost certain that the opin.
ion that there was an outbreak on the
slopes of Haleakala a hundred and
fifty years ago will be controverted.
But all of these minor inaccuracies
and others that there may be, can be
easily eliminated in revision, and in
any event will not detract from the
real value of the book. As a school
text book the test of use will deter
mine its exact merits. As hand
book of the Islands it is far and away
the best that has been written.
