At the present time Dame Nature is made to yield annually not far from one hundred million dollars' worth of products sugar, rice, coffee, fruit, and cattle. A few years hence, tobacco, rubber, cotton, and honey will be added to the list of exported products. Americans own the sugar plantations, which are mainly on the lava fields of Hawaii, Oahu, and Maui Islands.
"Elsie and the younglings are coming just got a wireless from their steamer," he announced, after he had kissed his wife. "And they'll be spending several days with us before they go on to Maui." "I was going to put you in the Rose Room, Sister Bella," Martha Scandwell planned aloud.
MAUI; in Freycinet's chart of the anchorage of Raheina, two or three miles of coast are seen to be fringed; and in the "Hydrog. Memoir," "banks of coral along shore" are spoken of. Mr. F.D. Bennett informs me that the reefs, on an average, extend about a quarter of a mile from the beach; the land is not very steep, and outside the reefs the sea does not become deep very suddenly; coloured red.
In China, the emperor is the representative of the primitive ancestors, and stands, as it were, between them and the supreme cosmic deities Heaven and Earth who are superadded to them, and who answer to the Tangaloa and the Maui of the Polynesians.
They live in the open, and they know how to ride and swim before they know what six- times-six is. As for me, I can't remember when I first got on a horse nor when I learned to swim. That came before my A B C's. Dad owned cattle ranches on Hawaii and Maui big ones, for the islands. Hokuna had two hundred thousand acres alone.
It spread its nostrils, distended its eyes and trembled all over, just as horses customarily do in the presence of a serpent and for aught I know it thought the crawling stream was a serpent. I made this horseback trip on a mule. We returned to Honolulu, and from thence sailed to the island of Maui, and spent several weeks there very pleasantly.
In such cases mortality is brought about by an accident or an error: among the Maoris by a mistake of the hero Maui; among the Hebrews by the disobedience of the first man, or by his failure to eat of the tree of life; in South Africa by the accident that the messenger who was to announce immortality was outrun by one who announced mortality.
Clearing his eye by a fast and prayer, he climbed to the topmost height of the Waianae Mountains and closely scanned the horizon. The earth was as brick, and the sky as brass, and the sea as silver, save in one quarter: a tiny blur on the universal glare could be seen, he fancied, over Maui. He would wait, in order to be sure. Yes, in the morning the vapor was still there.
This mountain, Haleakala, the House of the Sun, is the largest extinct volcano in the world, its terminal crater being nineteen miles in circumference at a height of more than 10,000 feet. It, and its spurs, slopes, and clusters of small craters form East Maui. West Maui is composed mainly of the lofty picturesque group of the Eeka mountains.
The six inhabited islands of the group are Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii, the last containing the largest active volcano of which we have any knowledge; namely, that of Kilauea, to visit which persons cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and also the American continent, between the two.
