Still the maiden clung more firmly, and with trembling hand and white, Said to still her heart’s wild beating :— ‘Curfew shall not ring to-night.’’ and knew that the goddess was reach ing out her fiery arms for a victim ot the royal blood. The Kabunas, who've lately gained once more the the favor of the King, declared that Pele must be appeased to arrest the feariul doom which they said must come. They had not tar to search for one who would make the fearful sacri- fice, and while the rumbling ot the volcano made awful thunder the Princess Like Like announced to her people that she. the sister of the King—the nearest to the throne— would lay down her life to stop the tearful flow. She openly proclaimed that she gloried to make a martyr ot herselt for her country and her peo- ple; and though in the prime of life and with the prospect of a crown before her, she made her final pre- parations and lay down to await the end. It is said that in this final pro- ceeding the Kahunas played no un- important part, and that while acting as her guardians and advisers they were, in fact, practicing their dark arts upon her and hurrying her on- ward to the end. STARVING TO DEATH. For days and days she lay among these people, and during all that time not a particle of food was al- lowed to pass her lips.

That this good woman was cruelly sacrificed to the superstition of the Kahunas is an open secret at the islands, but the strangest part to tell is this, that upon the day of her death Mauna Loa, the Awful, ceased to belch its lava forth, and for days after was in comparative quiet, and then. the hoary old soothsayers went about among the people with many a nod and mvstic sigh, as who should say, **Didn’t we toretell all this?” and to-day their power is greater in the land than since the days when Captain Cook laid his bones upon their sandy beach.
