The natives assured me that its waters become 3'ellow and then black during an eruption of Kilauea, a statement I mnch doubt. k adjoining crater contains man}' coconut trees: the walls between the craters of this group are thin as some of those in Hualalai, and like those pit craters are walled with stony lava and not tnfa. Half a mile from this group is a cone about two hundred and fifty feet high, and crowned with an ancient heiaii or temple, and a clnmp of coconut trees. This cone is largely composed of lava, and is doubtless of great age as the soil is several. , CRATERS B'ROM THK feet deep upon it in some places. At its base is a large cleft in the rock some three hundred feet long and sixty wide, in which is a remarkabl}^ clear pool of warm water, twenty or thirty feet deep and of a temperature at the time of nyy first visit of 90". Thirty-four years after I found it five degrees above the air temperature. At a later visit to test more accurately I found the pool occupied by a gang of Japanese fi, eld hands. The water is not mineral to the taste, but the dark-colored bodies of natives swimming in it seem almost wax-colored, and a white num in the pool resembles marble. The sound of water trickling down within the cliff is distinctly audible after a rain. Three-quarters of a mile from this is a deep narrow cavern into which one may climb guided by the natives with their bambu torches. There is a steep descent of nearly fifty feet to a pool of very warm water which is said to extend more than half a mile under ground."''
