I often think about Toby Tyler. If he had only staid with the circus, he would not have lost dear Mr. Stubbs. I am anxious to know how the boys who went on "The Cruise of the 'Ghost'" got along with their canoe cruise, or if they ever had one.

Sandwich Islands.
We have observed so many nice little girls writing to you that we have been thinking for some time that we would send you a letter. We are Hawaiians, as our mother is a native of the island, though our father is a white man. We live close to the mountains, and have quite a number of birds around our place. Land-shells are as numerous on the mountains as sea-shells are down on the beach. Some time hereafter we may probably visit New York, and then we shall not forget to go and see the editor of Young People, and thank him very much for making such a nice paper for children. It has been a great comfort to us, and amused us many a lonely hour. We are a large family, consisting of father, mother, four sisters, six brothers, one nephew, and one niece. Aloha (love to you).
Lydy, Eliza, and Hannah.
Our love to you, little friends. We will be glad to see you in New York some day.
