MAKOA’s LOQUACITY. 363 
Makoa, as usual, excited much interest among 
the natives by the accounts he gave of our 
journey, &c. This evening he turned theologian, 
and, while we were at supper, we heard him telling 
a party around him, in another part of the house, 
that heaven was a place where there was neither 
salt fish, nor calabashes of poe. Indeed, added 
he, we shall never want any there, for we shall

ivhile he reclined beneath the shade of an adjoin¬

where Mr. Thurston spoke to the people, who gave 
good attention. We then kept on our way till we 
reached Malanahae, where a congregation of the 
people assembled, with whom we conversed some 
short time, then bade them farewell, and about 
three p. m. reached Kapulena, where we preached 
to upwards of one hundred of the people assem¬ 
bled on the occasion. 
At this place we thought it best to form our-
