96 VOYAGE TO THE 
Liliah, Kuanoa, Manuia, are for the future real Christian 
names, though they will probably never find patrons in the 
calendar. They may content themselves, however, with 
that of their godfather, “ England’s great Champion, Cap¬ 
padocian George,” the proper guardian of chiefs whose 
native Islands are now under the immediate protection of 
the British crown. 
May 3.—We were delighted early this morning by the 
cry of land, which, though but indistinctly seen at first 
through the haze of a very misty morning, soon broke forth 
from its clouds, and we found ourselves nearing Hido or 
Aheedo Bay, on the north-east part of the Island of Ha¬ 
waii*. We ran alongshore with the intention of putting 
into the bay for water, and were charmed with the cheerful 
and rich view of the land. The hills were covered with 
verdure, and some with forest; the sloping grounds below 
were adorned with clumps of cocoa-nut and bread-fruit 
trees; some inland waterfalls came in in the background, 
and near the beach the native huts gave that liveliness to 
the scenery which nothing but the marks of human habita¬ 
tion can do. 
* The shape of Hawaii or Owhyhee is triangular. It had been divided 
into districts long before it was known to Europeans. We made the Island 
most exactly by the chronometers, of which there were five on board. Lat.
