below, falling again into a small round hollow place, very deep, and boiling like a pot. The water does not, ordinarily, run over the top of this pot, but finds its way through a subterranean passage, boiling up to the surface from the bottom. There are six such pots, and are called boiling pots. We climbed down as near to them as we could. We enjoyed our lunch, in the shade of the rocks, with leaves for our table, beside the coolest and sweetest water I have tasted in a long time. On our way down, we stopped at Rainbow Falls, the same I visited with the children. This is a fall of about one hundred feet, and throws off spray, which sometimes reflects a rainbow; hence its name.

We found the tide high, but we gathered some mosses, and hurried home. This was the last excursion, as the next day I took the steamer for Lahaina. I was soon very sick, but got over it, so as to be able to be on deck lying down, and saw much of the formation of Hawaii, which is wholly volcanic. I saw where the more recent flows had been; and the curious formation of the lava in
