Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hawaiian Sketches
Where rolls the Kinau and hears no sound save her own splashing and the groans of wearied souls cabined and confined, and likewise ill. Whether the good ship Kinau stood on. The top of her masts while crossing the Oahu channel, I can not assert positively, but I am sure She did while crossing the one that separates Maui and Hawaii. But this is anticipating. As we passed under the lee of Molokai there came a short time of compara tive rest, which enabled us to look out of our cabin door, and there rose before our eyes the red slopes of the island, with dust devils caught up here and there by the wandering breeze. Higher up towards the crest >of Molokai are deep green gashes in the hills.
