MISSIONARY TOUR 
manner in which they should keep the Sabbath-day, 
again embarked on board my canoe, and sailed to 
Wainanarii, where I landed, repaired to the house of 
Waipo, the chief, who, as soon as the object of my 
visit was known, directed the people to assemble at 
his house. 
At Kaparaoa I saw a number of curiously carved 
wooden idols, which formerly belonged to an adjacent 
temple. I asked the natives if they would part with 
any? They said. Yes ; and I should have purchased 
one, but had no means of conveying it a way, for it 
was an unwieldy log of heavy wood, twelve or four¬ 
teen feet long, curiously carved, in rude and frightful 
imitation of the human figure. 
After remaining there till two p. M. I left them making 
preparation to keep the Sabbath-day, according to the 
orders they had received from the governor. 
About four in the afternoon I landed at Kihoro, a 
straggling village, inhabited principally by fishermen. 
A number of people collected, to whom I addressed a 
short discourse, from 1 John i. 7.—This village exhibits 
another monument of the genius of Tamehameha. A 
small bay, perhaps half a mile across, runs inland a 
considerable distance. From one side to the other of 
this bay, Tamehameha built a strong stone wall, six 
feet high in some places, and twenty feet wide, by 
which he had an excellent fish-pond, not less than two 
miles in circumference. There were several arches in 
the wall, which were guarded by strong stakes driven 
into the ground so far apart as to admit the water of 
the sea, yet sufficiently close to prevent the fish from 
escaping. It was well stocked with fish, and water- 
fowl were seen swimming on its surface.
