The Londons did not find the leper

were struck by the contentment, even
gayety. of the lepers, and especially
by the charity and efficiency of those
caring for and studying the patients.

angle, sort of wide based peninsula.

rest of the island to the south by

unscalable except by the bands Of
wild goats. The only trail out
of or into this isolated lowland zig
zags the bare face of the pail near
its northern end, at the seagirt eX-
tremity of the settlement reserve. A
silvery green cluster of kullui trees
marks the beginning of the trail. not
far up from the waters edge. Thus
far and no further may the residents
of the peninsula stray. At the
chill hour OF all passengers for
Kalaupapa were landed in rough
and ready lifeboat through breakers
which. to our regret, were the re-
verse of boisterous. The mer-
est fitful whisper of air was stirring,
and there was something solemn in
our progress, deep dipping oars send
ing the heavy boat in large, slow
rhythm over broad swell and under
the frown of a wall of darker dark
ness against the jeweled southern
sky. The landing is a small concrete
breakwater. into the crooked arm of
which we slipped, trusting in the
lantern g:eam to hands OF natives
that reached to help. We wondered,
entirely without alarm. if they were
leprous fingers we grasped, but
rested upon fate and climbed our
spryest. The wall was trimmed with
sitting figures, and when our twenty
five passengers set foot on the ce-
ment some were greeted in low, hesi-
tant Hawaiian speech as if by ac-
quaintances. In the flicker of the
swinging lanterns we saw q white
woman's anxious face and two pale
hands stretched out. 1t took
all our steel at first to avoid shrink
ing from their hideousness: but. as
sured as we were of the safety of
mingling. our concern was to let
them know we We're unafraid. And
it made such a touching difference.
From out their watchful silence and
bashful loneliness they emerged into
their natural carefree Hawaiian
spirits. For, you must know, ali

what is termed the anaesthetic va

which ceases from twinging as the
disease progresses or is arrested and

eating their great canoes by the
stars, and white discoverers, like
Cook and Vancouver, to introduce a
large proportion of trees and plants,
insects and pests. But there is no
deadly thing in Hawaii. No snake
exists and the centipede causes little
discomfort.
Hawaii is a paradise, but a para

Chairman London does not dwell
upon this. 1t was not obtruded upon

uttermost the sea and shore that he
did not make sermon of it.

And this trait was but one manifes-

to the eighties. when he was a boy
at Rugby and I n junior master. To
know him was romance. He was
always vivid and picturesque. and
like nobody else the most
versatile as well as the most attrac-
tive of companions. He was
the most original man I have ever
known. Nobody was ever
more independent than he of exter-
nal influences. so little dominated
by his surroundings. 1t was all
part, I think, of his intense mental
honesty. He never looked at the
facts of life through the spectacles
OF convention. but always with his
own eyes. He belonged to
the type OF man to whom life is
neither holiday nor an opportunity
for acquiring comfort. but a great
adventure. In the Middle Ages he
would have been a Crusader: i'm the

adventurous thing, he would have
