The whole of the Sandwich group of islands has been formed by volcanic eruptions — by far the largest and most extensive in the world. Miss Isabella Bird gives an account of her visit to a vast open crater where the flames of fire were ascending to the height of from four hundred to six hundred feet, and con- tinuously sending out lava which flowed to a distance of forty miles into the sea. It may be added that this lady ascended to a height of ten thousand feet. She found that water boiled on ...the summit at a temperature of I 93° F-> but tea could not be made, and it took twelve hours to boil a piece of pork. The climate on this group is said to be the finest in the world.

The persons suffering with it are kept separate at Molokai, where the number of lepers is said to be never less than seven hundred. Now to return to Captain Hart. A strange adventure occurred while anchoring off .
