Some loyal tributes of the j soil were brought from Honuaula ; and prei sented to the King.

I yearn for the increase of my people, and that the prophecy uttered by many, of extiaction oPour race, shall never eome to pass. I. alone ean do but united with you, my people, I hope to conquer and to save. You know the saying of Kamehameha (the Great) after the days of war. " Tlie old j men, the old women, and the children shall lie in safety in the highways." The \vord ' of Kauikeaouli (Kamehatni''"i 111.) was, rae j good' man is my man ('' j ke kanāka pono leom kanaka ia.") And these wgrds were weli, and suited to their day.
