pre-dates the discovery of the Is
land hy the lamented Captain Cook.
In these days only three at a time
caii he in possession of this secret.
Whenever one of the three dies the
remaining ones select another whom
they think worthy and take him
into their confidence and in this
way the knowledge of the cave and
its hidden mysteries are perpe
tuated. Many vague rumors are
heard of it though none hut the
three Hawaiians and myself know
of its real cxistance.
Before I was permitted to view
its wondrous inside I was bound to
secrecy and had consented to be
blindfolded and taken to it ou a
datk and inclement night und
brought away as I had gone.
I was ready when the night came,
and a dark and dreary night it was.
Unobserved, the four of us left our
homes and friends, and met at a
secluded spot some distance away,
along a hillside, between two large
fields of growing cane whose tas
sels nodded like so many spooks
acknowledging our presence and
bowing ascent to our wierd under
taking. Mounted upon four black Ka
naka ponies weighing about six
hundred pounds each we started
out on our dismal journey. As pre
viously agreed I was securely
blindfolded and after about two
hours of travel over lava beds,
fern-tree forests and long Hilo
grass, we came to a halt. It was
nowthebewitching hourof midnight
and was very dark. The air seemed
filled with the spirits of long lost
Kanakas and in the death-like still
ness I imagined I could hear them
whispering to each other in low
uncertain tones.
I was now told to dismount, that
we had reached the cave and must
prepare to enter. Immediately I
felt a cold chilliness stealing over
me, aim my nat seemeu to im away
from my head as my hair assumed
the stiffness of bristle and each
strain tried to push itself as far
away from the others as it could.
I got down from my horse with
that reluctance which usually at
tends grave uncertainty, though I
was not only willing but anxious to
undergo the ordeal. I did not

kept watch over the decaying re
mains of the long since departed
braves.
In addition to the gleam of1
whitening bones, there was a sheen j
from a thousand different points of
highly polished lava about the
shelves which rendered the place a
mystic labyrinth that dazzled every
eye. Many warlike implements of
stone were strewn among the bones
and piled upon the shelves and
were mute but expressive reminders
of the suffering and death of the
poor untutored savages who fought
and bled and died, oftener than
otherwise, for very trivial things.
The sudden opening of my eyes
upon such a ghastly scene in the
depths of the earth at midnight,
and that to, while fully at the
mercy of my guides who did not
speak my language and were none
too friendly to the white man, I
confess, was a little trying to my
nerves; however I felt that I could
not die until my time came and I
took great comfort in that feeling.
Notwithstanding I was forbidden
to touch anything, I brought away
two relics, and I do not believes I
committed a sin in doing so. I had
noticed a difference in the sheen
which emanated' from several points
in a particular pile of bones which
lay upon one of the shelves, and
when I approached it for investiga
tion was told that those bones were
of the last Chief who had won the
coat in which Captain Cook had
been killed. The fact that it was
owned by Captain Cook, and also
that it was an elegant cloth coat
with gold buttons made it for many
years a bone of contention among
the Tribes. It was a great mark
of honor to possess it and each tribe
desiring such distinction sought its
possession at the cost of limbs and
lives. Finally, to put a stop to the
carnage which seemed never end
ing, one 01 ttic cnieis ciotncu wiui
authority to wear it, sacrificed his
life to that end by wearing it into
the cave and starving himself to
death in the position where his
bleached bones now lie. It was
the bottons of the coat, the only
vistage oi it left, which gave forth
the peculiar sheen and two of them
