kindlier man never lived he showed us marked attention arranged feasts in our behalf made me governor of au an island for a day and lost his money to us at poker he spent nearly as much time at our cottage as he did at the palace which was close at hand we grew to have a genuine regard for him because whatever his faults he was every inch a king in the generosity of his impulses and the love which he bore for ula his subjects m The there was a condition then prevailing at the islands somewhat similar to that preceding the arrest of wilcox ashford and the 0 other conspirators discontent

putting down wi with the aid of the baseball pitcher the first wilcox revolution it became unreasonable in its demands and the king hing was soon involved in trouble with his own troops you know the hawaiian army consists of about sixty seven men and half as many officers but though small it is the one military prop of the island kingdom and it has relatively as much power and importance as the kaisers keisers kai sers marshaled millions anil and so it was that when fierce discontent and whispered denunciation were rife in the army the peoples faces blanched and apprehension min mingled led
