Excerpt from Paradise in the Pacific: A Book of Travel, Adventure, and Facts in the Sandwich Islands
It is difficult to describe the softness of the air, or the beauty of the scenery, sur rounding me this brilliant November noon. Rising and falling on the billows of this blue sea float small meadows of the golden-col ored Sargasso grass. The blue waves, the golden. Grass, the white crests broken by the trade-wind, all glittering in the sunlight.
