Northern California, Oregon, and the Sandwich Islands

CHAPTER I
20/32

The rock, at a height of several hundred feet, has been curiously worn by the water into the shape of a canoe.

Here, also, the precipitous walls are covered with masses of fine ferns.

At Kahana, and also at Koloa, you will see rice-fields, which are cultivated by Chinese.

You pass also on your road several sugar-plantations; and if it is the season of sugar-boiling, you will be interested in this process.

For miles you ride along the sea-shore, and your guide will lead you to proper places for a midday bath, preliminary to your lunch.
After leaving the Mormon Settlement, the scenery becomes very grand--it is, indeed, as fine as any on the Islands, and compares well with any scenery in the world.
