Records Of the department OF val
and the department of the navy of the
Hawaiian government began late IN the
'30s but the bulk Of the records do not
begin until the late '40s. What docu-
ments are dated previously to 1870 are
unimportant or embarrassing, relating
mostly to the cost Of the upkeep of
the Hawaiian Army which seems to
have caused an expenditure equal 10
that of the Hawaiian Band at the pre-
sent day. Much of it is correspondence
between Lieutenant General Lilihoho,
commander in-chief. afterwards Kane

concerning "busted guns and acct

circles. Bids were also received to

but there is little record of it, The
first interesting document is dated 1880
and is report by an English army of

the chief interest lies in the picture
of the town Of Honolulu at this date
which can be seen between the lines.

as a point to which the city might
eventually grow and (at that time)
difficult of access is the spit of sand
where Camp Very is now situated. This
he named as a proper place for one OF
the most important forts of the city.
Accompanying the report is a map
which he evidently copied himself and
took from one published in London IN
