HONOLULU TO MELBOURNE,
(ex R. w. 30'n0titimm., awe.)
As one appronohee the Island of Oahu,
of tbe Sandwioh Selene group, the pros-
pect is anything but inviting. Barren,
blealr,'dark, sandy colored mountains of
voloanie origin run gradually up from
the shore, ending in sheep peaks and
ridges partly lost in the olonds ; not 210
much as feed a goat on them. As we
proceed we find a little patch of green by
the water's edge once in a while, but by
the time we get around and in sight of
Honolulu these green patellas have be•
come more frequent ; the barren appear.

the traveller to turn his course from the
island ne most inhospitable, has given
place to verdure which covers (the moun-
tain elopes up to the very peaks. The
pilot aboard, we pass through the narrow
channel between tbe reefs, which lie at a
distance from the shore, and over which
the waves are breakiug, and enter the
harbor, Before coming to the pier we
notice a lot of natives jump foto the
water and swim for the 011ip ; there ie
nearly a score of them. They are quite
at home in the water, and swine in any
fashion, but their preferred mode of
swimming is very un-Englieb, as they
throw their arms alternately clear out of
the water, and work them round josh as
if they were spokes 'of a wheel. When
swimming on the back they throw the
arms round after the same fashion, only
that they both go at the same time. They
are exceedingly pleasant and good -nater•
ed, playing with eaoh other like big
boyo ; they will splash one another, pre-
tend to fight, grapple and sink together,
jump on one another unawares, and sub.
.merge one another, only to rise again
with a laugh. Throw a nickel and you
see foor or five pairs of heels disappear
and in a second or so half as many beads
will come to the surface, and one dusky
hand will display your piece between

by the abundance of tropical vegetation
in the shape of palms and many other

After five days out, we got into Sydney
early in the forenoon. The air was keen
and bracing and tbe day bright, (it in
mid -Winter here, you must remember)
enabling us to enjoy the beauties of
Sydney's famous barber, indented as it
is with bays, where ships lie either at
anchor or berthed at the wharves. It is
a strange eight to see the waste of ships
standing out among the houses and build-
ings, as tbe shipping is berthed or an-
chored in so many different quarters, the
separaling promontories being built up.
on. The view of the city from the her -
bar is a very pleasing and imposing one,
the slope of the hills towards the harbor
setting it out to great advantage. The
atone used in building is e. elightly taw-
ny colored sandstone, and tbe uniformity
of the coloring of the oity was to me very
agreeable. As is to be expected in a pity
of such importance, there are many
beautiful, even magnificent buildings.
These I bed some 19isere during the next
thirty-six hours to inspect more closely,
as with a friend we went the rounds, see•
ing the museum, the art gallery in the
process of completion, also St. Patrick's
Cathedral, the City Hall, the Governor's
residence, and others too numerous to
stretching at the foot of the mountains mention or remember. We had a walk
along the ehoro for some five or Ida miles , through the botanioal 90rdene, which in
their Stemmer beauty must be mediate,
linty charming, conoidering the large
area covered, the wonderful taste dis-
played, and the wealth of tropical and
other trees end plants to be seen. From
the top of the postoliiee tower -perhaps
the highest point in the city -we had a
most beautiful view of the city and ser.
rounding country, wbioh my friend, wbo
was acquainted there. could describe, and
so enhance the charm of the view. To
describe Sydney in detail is not in my
program, but I think that anyone seeing
it under similar eiroametances, would

building meaning itself above the foliage.

indeed. The waters outside are teeming
with nob. The street cars are drawn by
melee, but eleotricity supplies the light
of the city. We here dieoharged a large
number of very heavy steel rollers for
use in sugar crashing, a goodly number
of railway ear wheels, and a lot of lumber
from Seattle, out for soap boxes. A
