At three o'clock in the morning the
steward called at my state-room
and said we were entering the port of
Nawiliwili. I had not the slightest idea
where I was to land, but somehow in
stinctively felt that this must be my
destination. I awoke sleepy and cross,
dressed hurriedly, seized my traveling
bag and artist's portfolio, and left the
stateroom just as the anchor was drop
ped. Three ladies, myself, seven Japanese,
and fourteen Chinamen were the pas
sengers to disembark. The harbor was
not very rough tho' the water was
slightly undulating. We wtre compell
ed to climb down a rope-ladder and
enter a boat manned by a crew of dusky
Hawaiians. This feat in the night, is
not pleasant, especially when boat and
ship are both bobbing in different di
rections. As soon as the mail was brought off
the omnibus took us to the hotel at
Likue, about one and a half miles from
the landing. I was shown to my room
and informed that Dr. E. C. Goodhue,
the government physician at Koloa,
would call for me during the forenoon.
Shortly after breakfast he came to take
me to Koloa as his guest.
The ride from Likue to Koloa was
delightful. The day was fair, the roads,
but for the red soil, might remind one
of New England. The kukua trees, or
screw pines, and wild breadfruit grew
on every side. On the way we paused
at the Kauai Industrial School which
was established by Dr. S. S Smith and
his sister. There are sixty boys in at
tendance at this school, where they are
not only given a good English educa
tion, but are taught useful trades, such
as carpentering, blacksmithiug, and
farming.
