ravaged aspect of the country due to the native warfare. Some 

 goats were presented, ''these being the first foreign animals im- 

 ported into Maui." 



Outrigger Canoe of ''Northzvesf Pine. 



After visiting Oahu Vancouver proceeded to Kauai ; en route 

 he passed a number of canoes, one of which "proved to be with- 

 out exception the finest canoe we had seen amongst these islands. 

 This vessel was sixty-one feet and a half long .... made out of 

 an exceedingly fine pine-log [Pseudotsuga]." The natives told 

 him that the log had drifted ashore on Kauai, "in a perfectly 

 sound state." He further states that "the circumstance of fir 

 timber being drifted on the northern sides of these islands is by 

 no means uncommon," especially on Kauai. 



Third Visit of Vancouver, 

 Jan. 9 to March 15, 1794. 



Vancouver left the Islands on March 30th, and sailed to the 

 American coast; returning on January 9, 1794> he anchored in 

 Hilo Bay. More cattle and sheep were landed, and a tabu for 

 ten years was laid upon them. Vancouver then sailed to Keala- 

 kekua, where the ships remained six weeks. 



E.vcursion to Hualahn. 



On the 16th of January Menzies and a party started "on an ex- 

 cursion into the interior part of the country. . . . The party ac- 

 companying Mr. Menzies returned with him on Saturday, the 

 25th, after having had a very pleasant excursion, though it had 

 been somewhat fatiguing in consequence of the badness of the 

 paths in the interior country, where in many places the ground 

 broke in under their feet. Their object had been to gain the 

 summit of Mowna Roa, which they had not been able to effect 



but they had reached the top of another mountain called 



by the natives Worroray [Hualalai] on its summit was a vol- 

 canic crater".... An excellent plate of this crater appears in 

 Vancouver's "Voyage of Discovery." 



Menzies' Narrative of the Hualalai Expedition. 



_ In Thrum's Hawaiian Annual for 1910 is reproduced an exten- 

 sive "Extract from A. Menzies' Journal of Vancouver's Voyage, 

 1790-1794; British Museum, MSS. Department." This is said 

 to be the first time this account appears in print. The narrative 

 of this, the second fully recorded scientific trip made by Euro- 

 peans m Hawaii, contains much of interest, as the following 

 quotations will demonstrate :
