a small island about two miles long
aud one mile in width. and but three

small island is one of the favorite
breeding spots for birds CT various
kinds, and, as the rabbits are rapidly

"Excfting Experiences.
"Willetts and his party arrived on
Laysan island December q last, after
some exciting experiences on their
voyage from Honolulu. A week later
they had succeeded in killing $500
