ABSTRACT
A tradition of white men, still more involved in mystery, was found by the same inquiring author. The great volcanic mountain, now extinct, Mauna Kea, is said to have taken its name, not from the snow by which it is perpetually capped,-KeuJ being the obsolete term for wbite,-but on account of some white men, who are reported to have resided on the mountain and to have corne down to the seashore frequently in the evening, and to have frightened the natives. These people were callrd na Kea, 'the whites.'
