THE PACIFIC OCEAN. 283 lactites in fantastic forms, bearing some resemblance to the Gothic arches and carved ornaments of some old church. After having examined the curiositie3 of the place, the party sat down to drink cava, while an old chief communicated some interesting parti- culars in the history of the grotto. In former times there lived a governor of one of the neighbouring islands, who exercised his autho- rity with the most grinding tyranny and injustice. A conspiracy against his life ...was formed by a sub- ordinate chief, which was discovered, and he himself condemned to death with his family. One of his daughters, however, a beautiful girl, was re- served for a more hateful destiny, that of becoming the wife of the cruel tyrant. It happened that another young chief, who had long loved this maiden, had, a little while before, accidentally discovered the submarine cavern, when diving in pursuit of turtle. He had kept his discovery a profound secret, reserving it as a safe retreat for himself, in case he should be unsuccessful in a plan of revolt, which he also had in view.
