the only way to obtain immortality
was to conquer Hiua-IIa, the goddess

has completed his tour of the Panama

view with a representative of the Los
Angeles Times, to whom he recited
a resume of the old Hawaiian legends,
saying that some of these old island
stories excel the Greek myths in inn
agination and picturesqueness.

When the great expenses attendant

effort to turn her many and varied
talents to account in order to earn a
