Sixteenth Day.

Went swimming early and then played golf over a beautiful course close to the sea. Until I came to Hawaii I never dreamed how much such jJovely surroundings could add to golf.

A Japanese woman brought some fish to the hotel in flat baskets swung from a yoke, and when Jack saw them he was perfectly crazy to go fishing; but I told him that it was a crime to eatch live rainbows on a hook. And even then I had to mention the hula to keep him from staying over. I'd hate to have him catch things like those, and if he should catch a squid, such as she had, I'd have nightmares for a week.

Reached home at 5:30 and went to the hula in the evening. I liked it immensely and don't see why any right-minded person should object to it in the least, since it is to be viewed as a survival of old Hawaiian customs and not as a modern entertainment. The girls are wonderfully supple and well trained and the play of their muscles is astonishing.
