 writer that the man was a Marquesan. Petroglyphs found in those 

 islands may throw some light on the subject. The stone is be- 

 lieved to have been demolished in 1895.

 her fellow pupils and two Roman Catholic priests, and of the ex- 

 istence of figures of birds and fish, and an un-Hawaiian vessel with
