TO the future of motor ships as com
merce carriers, as 1t has now under
construction or on order no fewer than
20 OF these vessels. In order to pro-

in the East Asiatic fleet, the latter
retaining only motor ships.
In December last another new COM

VAST GRANDEUR OF HALEAKAlA WAKES
ADMIRATION AND IS MOST INSPIRING

| Then / saw the crater Of Haleakala
for the first time. The sight Of that
terrific bowl with its fire-red cones,
purple shadows and dead lava; no
living thing growing there, yet in It
self seemingly glowing through scat.
tertng patches Of mist here and there,
was appalling in its vastness. Il
typified that which changeth not.
found myself wondering whether Coo
had not created the crater when He
wanted to make something which
would reveal His majesty and glory
for ever and ever.

might have stayed there until
nightfall if the wind that blew so
steadily and searchingly up from the
multicolored pit had not been so cold.
To get out Of the wind walked over
to the other side Of the rest house and
saw Maui and Molokai and Molokint
and Kahoolawe spread out below me,
with the sun setting in glory through
bank Of wondrous clouds. and the
green land, a garment of beauty with
the sea its border. The beauty OF 1t
all was enough to pull ones heart out
with longing to see 1t again and again.
Thunderstorm RACES Below
That night, after supper, AriZumi
and | piled wood into the stove and
talked. The wind howled outside.
There we're metal hunks and mattress
es, enough for 20 persons, and we had
blankets enough. I used four and
managed to keep the cold away. Dur
ing the night there was a thunder
storm several thousand feet below US,
and the glare from blue lightning
flashed in through a window.
In the morning the clouds were so
thick we could not see the crater at
sunrise. We started down again at
1870. Next time want to go down
into the crater and see what that
burre6out furnace of Nature looks
like at closer range.
