There must ha»ye= been about 4,000 people there, including his Majesty, King Kalakaua,' Then about foi?ty : boys jumped into the water. We thrw! pieces of money-to them, and they filhed them up literally; they were the inpp" "'•' -earoert divers, and seemed as much at Honae in the water as if they had been half their lives in it. It was very amusing to see them . t Jo/ck,.and scramble underneath, the water ■' ' i&tng as clear as crystal. ' Nearly all young people speak English, and they are far in Advance of the Fiji tribes (at least those I ftaw). I was -given to understand by my; *abby that the'i'r king was not popular, as he" seldom,pays any native subject for anything he gets from them. The army consists Of about twenty soldiers and fourteen sappers, who could be demoralised at anf time. The king keeps the ; old sorcerers in his pay, and is not over secure from poisoning. This was from an intelligent Native about twenty-four years old, and able to converse in English. 1 should Imagine consumptive patients might prolong their lives considerably by living here. In tbe group many interesting places are to be found—one a wonder of the world, a volcano 1(0 which you can get; quite close and look into, some beautiful caves, and charming .-.<• c- aropicai scenery. At any of these: islands, the scene of the murder of Captain Cook r a '<■ traveller would meet with a hearty welcome' l from white and Native inhabitants. Passing the reef, we continued our pleasant and instructive passage. • Allow me to add I coneider the vessel, captain, officers, &c., everything on© could, wish, and the weather delightful the whole way.
