low ered and lathed together with and heavy beams of timber Then the great iron rollers and cylinders were let down by means of a steam derrick and placed on the two which then rowed ashore by the native sailors The water in this bay isao clear that we could pebbles on the bot tom at the depth of forty or fifty feet Schools of fish tome weighing twen ty thirty pounds could be swimming about the ship The na tives on board cast over and caught one fine large fellow When the cargo for ihiiport had been all taken we continued our voyage down the if the great Island which with iis miles of stone fences and brown seemed a barren waste liut at proceed the changed mills in abundance with- green pas cane and forests barren wastes Then as we steamed along the shore the peak Mauna arose before our vision in strong con trait with the topical aun and turn- breeze that fanned our cheeks the afternoon we passed the landing called where Minister Stevens daughter an estimable young lady was drowned Miss Stevens had been visiting friends at this place and was taking the vessel for Honolulu when the boat which was conveying her to the was over turned by the and she vat drowned in fifty feel of water A native tailor after ward dived to the and recovered her body arrived at at about eight in evening going was taken in a hack to the tel kepi by a Portuguese named Jo Vie fa- From here to the Vol cano House one goes over a fairly good road through the Puna in a stage which makes the trip every On the morning of Dec we hoarded the stage and In the suburbs halted to up a Japanese woman who was going up the road and at the bridge beyond we took a native man and an empty goods box on hoard Then the four horses with the stae swept down the road through a lane with rich cane fields on either side After a few miles the cane fields disappeared and we plunged into vast forests of wood mingled with which wild coffee was crowing Occasionally we passed a narrow path leading into the dense jungle and whenever one glanced down it the fhanty of a Japanese might have been seen hidden away like a ground birds neat The canted the mail and I was surprised at the in which this was distributed by the driver At every path along the way he gave a blast on his stage horn and threw a letter or paper Sometimes there was a postbox at the roadside and as he whirled by the stage driver deftly dropped it the mail fur the owner of the plantation One practise in Hawaii might a valuable lesson to the United Stales and that is the of con vict labor on public roads Hawaii hit some of the best and some of the worst roads id the world Some of her broad turnpikes the moun tains are due to convicts working out their fines or years of penal servitude which is more profitable than hiring the to out to If a man violates he laws it makes no difference whether he commits a misdemeanor or a felony he must serve the spunky little republic by digging on the road At four oclock the Volcano House Mr Peter Lee proprietor was reached One all the evidences of the near of a volcano on approaching the house Steam was issuing from the teams in the lava crusted earth along the roadside and we gained the higher ground we could tee for miles about us There were a thousand fissures in the from which hot and smoke were issuing while far off to ihe west the smoke from the eternal fires of gave it the appearance of paintings Dantes Inferno the Volcano House not three hundred away are vast sulphur banks from which issues vapor in a continuous stream Mr the proprietor hat built a bath house vapor to it healing properties of which he declares are unequalled lire Volcano is a larc country inn with equal to such places in the United States It is a pleasure resort and ex tensively by invalids Although it would that one could almost on porch and throw a into it is ibr My guide whose name was Albert He was born in Japan his mother was a native of the Gilbert Islands and Ills father a Frenchman He had been reared in California and was only temporarily Hawaii Tho a very intelligent fellow he was unable tocolvthc problem of his nation- I tried to but toon gave It up Mounting my horse in the court in front of the house began the de scent fly a course wound our way down cliff the crater which is oyer three miles across our path tome limes leading along Ihe aide Of the cliff and the projecting rocks almost grazing our knees as pasted We gained the plain or great crater at last This plain is covered with dark lava plains which in the distance looks like a congealed quagmire Once upon plain we entered a path made across the lava In ferns were growing out from the seams in the As we pressed on over the surface we upon a wider deeper crack spanned by a bridge There is a story connected wilh this chasm the guide said One day a of tourists left Volcano House and went to see the crater which was then active While they were there the island was convulsed wilh an earthquake Mr fearing harm had befallen his guests ran the lava flow to find this awful chasm from thirty to fifty feel deep- lis was very much alarmed for bis guests until he saw them coming across the lava flow They had scarcely frit the earthquake at but had to go about a mile above to cross the chasm a mile the Lake of Fire as the second crater is called we came upon a small corral made of lava in which left the horses and armed stout sticks proceeded over the plain Of hard glaring lava through learns of which sulphur ous steam constantly hissed At last gained the side of lake The crater was inactive and had been for a year since Mr visit this volcano has been in eruption According to the news paper reports the flow of lava began on January but far into its hollow depths the glow of fires or healed stones could lie seen while the rumbling of subterranean thunders reached our cars The fires were a thousand feel below us and al most hidden by dense clouds of smoke From the fissures of on the side the quivering air bore evidences of heat There the guide lighted his pipe by the fire of the volcano and I thrust rny walking staff a few inches into the slick was of green wood in a few moments it was ablaze j the heat was so intense that one could not remain long in one place the volcano of is one of the earths greatest natural wonders In the lake or second Crater the lava is continually boiling in a furious manner throwing up jets and fountains sometimes to the height of seventyfive feet dashing against the banks in fiery waves and throwing up clouds of spray making one of the grandest most aweinspiring sights imaginable From the lake we went to the great sulphur cave Tho the ther mometer stands at over one hundred in this cave we entered it penctrat our way through the boUng hiss ing Stalactites of sulphur and alum hang like golden and silver icicles from 3ume if the cavern It was 100 hot to remain long so we hastened out mounted our and returned to the Volcano House Next day with my guide and horses I set out from the volcano for the great district the land of and coffee Hour after hour we trudged on over the stony earth relieved occasionally by groves of trees and now and then evidences of civilization and former occupancy in the form of an empty beer bottle at the roadside That night we reached which is a village plantation of be tween eight hundred and a thousand inhabitants Of these two at least are while the others being Japanese Chinese and natives I saw but one white roan and one white boy The great whistle at the plantation mill blew shortly after our arrival and an army of Japanese men and women from the fields hoes on their shoulders and went to their miserable little huts These Japs are all brought lo the island on the contract labor system They are called coolies and are but tittle better off than slaves Their importation it beneficial only to the large plantations but an injury to the islaeds as they labor for twelve dol lars per month and board It is said that a Japanese can live on one dollar per month lending the remainder to Japan I was informed lhat I mutt lodge with a Chinaman The thought was unpleasant but it was either with the Chinaman or out on street A Chinese cook prepared my supper and I was then shown to my room which was situated io a cow lot in close proximity to a pig It was a small house with two rooms and the one on the tide I was to occupy My room was eight by ten feel had a square table a wash basin pitcher with in it a mirror which was by actual measurement four by Inches hardbottom chair a steamer chair with sailor mattress on the floor and a mosquito netting over ft was thit this apart hid occupy less commodious quarters for my accommodation The apartment was supplied with fresh reading in the form of a copy of the Gazette one month and two days old Dingy musty with opium fumes the place a fit abode for robbers and cutthroats The darkness and dingi- nets deparirncnt suggestive of pitfall and assassination while as if in mockery of the toundingj some one had pinned on the wall the motto Nearer God to Thee The aroma of the fly was highly flavored odor of freshly oiled harness and a smoky kerosene lamp which had not been cleaned and trimmed more than once its lifetime At last I ventured to he down on bed The apartment next to mine was occupied by Celestials but for what purpose I never knew the issuing from it being some times suggestive of a sausage factory sometimes of a laundry dyeing works or This adjoining apart ment was certainly no larger than my own but after nineteen Chinamen of all ages had entered it I became of counting and sought peace in sleep At last the sausagemill ceased the laundry grew quiet ihe wheels of Ihe planing mill ran more smooth and the mosquitoes having satisfied their wants at my expense I slept until rosy morn I might have slept longer had not a cow poked her head in at only window and awakened by an unearthly bawl My landlord provided with a breakfast from which a Washington Square tramp would lurn with contempt and then charged me prices for his accommodations To saddle up and leave was a luxury I changed guides here Taking a boy named Harry with ine I slated on a three days journey through Kona to a place call ed At noon we reached the village of sparkling water where met Mr gentle man who n as a and a coffee plantation On learning it was our intention to stop at the ranch the home of Colonel he as- sured us it was very doubtful il lhat individual would entertain me as he was opposed to white men Ten miles beyond Ins ranch however was a deserted house in bad belter stay if Colonel re fused lo accommodate us We set out for and reach- it at j p By this time dark clouds obscured ihe ikies and chill- winds sweeping down from snow capped a coming The ranch is a small village of houses and enclosed in walls of We up on a Chinaman and skinning a bullock that had just been lain while standing near Ihen a lorn slick in his hand was an old man whose all form was slightly bent and his hair and beard a yellowish white His eyes were sudden and sinister smiled Pot fro and there was a never expression on his face Is Colonel I asked approaching and extending hand He made ro answer and looked at me I then remembered ihe colonel sometimes feigned deaf ness 53 on a card asking Can myself and guide slay at your ranch No he while eyes flashed with fire You are a missionary a white man and annex ationist I am neither am an author I answered You cant deceive rne he cried his stick on the ground You arc a preacher and a mission a white man opposed to royalty and in favor of annexation You stole alt the land of the natives I tried to assure him that I had never an inch Hawaiian soil save what clung lo boots lhat I was not a missionary and an American citizen no in terest in political wrangle over annexation or ihe queen Hut he was obdurate In vain appealed to his humanity the fact lhat he was white himself that he had acres of the natives land more than alt the missionaries combined yet it was no use I had lo go For mites our course lay across the black lava flow of This flow is black as charcoal and hard as flint with sharp points on every square foot on which not a vestige of vegetation can be found The blackness is relieved only by the white bleaching bones of animals which have perished in crossing it On on and on through the gather ing gloom of night and a threatening storm we pressed for len Then we entered a forest where the Irees grew far and the ground was covered with bunch grass and ferns Al last when our tired horses were almost ready to sink from ex haustion we came upon the deserted house and wills our exer tion threw ourselves on floor and slept of the howls of wild dogs on the mountains Colonel is a Some say lie is from Virginia and wag a colonel in the Confederate army others he is an English man He his no retail is im mensely
