in strong gales, small vessels with good ground tackle 

 can lie safely under the lee of the reef, opposite the 

 month of the river. The view from the anchorage has 

 been pronounced by travelers as one of the finest in the 

 world. Hanalei river is lined with luxuriant foliage, 

 and a boat ride on its smooth bosom, in a bright moon- 

 light, rivals the Arabian Nights enchantment. Its gar- 

 dens contain the olive, pomegranate, orange and grape, 

 and among roses and shrubbery, the magnificent mag- 

 nolia grandiflora scatters the exquisite fragrance of its 

 snowy blossoms. 



PKINCEVTLLE PLANTATION 



Is located on the banks of this beautiful river, and has 

 the reputation of having the best sugar mill and plant 

 in the group. Certain it is that a large fortune was 

 expended by its former proprietor, Mr. R. 0. Wyllie, 

 in developing the productive capacity of this valley. 

 Since his death, in 1865, the estate has passed into 

 other hands, and is now managed by Capt. John G-. 

 Ross, who is also part owner. With a fine mill and ex- 

 tensive tracts of the richest bottom as well as upland, 

 this estate must become, when the system of irrigation 

 is introduced, one of the most productive and valuable 

 on our islands. 



WAIOLI VALLEY. 



The scenery in this vicinity is romantically tropical. 

 The soil' is fertile, and j>roduces taro, sugar cane, coffee, 

 and indigo, with fruits and vegetables in great' variety. 

 This stream, rushing down a rocky chasm, assumes 

 every fantastic shape possible, and a traveler describes 

 it as a picture " more exquisite than any we have seen 

 on the islands."
