The\\nvolcano of Kilauea was at the time of my visit in a state\\nof great activity, and the account which I have given of\\nthe wonderful spectacle was prepared from notes writ-\\nten within sight of the crater.\\nThe history of the Hawaiian Islands, though re-\\nstricted as to scene of action, has been as stirring and\\nas dramatic as our own. Within a century the islands\\nwere conquered and brought under one government,\\nduring which time the race advanced steadily from\\nbarbarism to civilization.\\nThe people are now to undertake that last and\\ngreatest of political experiments, self-government, for\\nwhich their alliance with the United States during the\\npast fifty years has been an excellent preparation,\\n7", "height": "4395", "width": "2820", "jp2-path": "alicesvisittohaw01krou_0017.jp2"}, "16": {"fulltext": "8\\nThe study of Hawaiian evolution affords such a\\nvariety of incident that it is somewhat difficult to decide,\\nin the preparation of a book for children, what to reject\\nand what to utilize.

But there were others who still feared the\\nold gods, and were afraid of angering them.

There was no comfort-\\nable Halfway House where they could rest. They\\nhad to bring their food and beds with them, and they\\nwere many days on the way.\\nKapiolani s companions were very sad.
