Night passed, morning came and found her, With aching arms and shoul- ders, still swimming, slower now, to- ward the distant shore. Up came the sun, and the tortures of heat were add- ed to her sufferings. Her arms, face and shoulders were blistered by the scorching rays until the touch of the salt water was agony. Still she pressed on. Noon came, nearly twenty-four hours since she began that long fight against death. An hour passed and still no succor. No Sign of a steamer or other vessel, and the distant mountain seemed as far ofi as ever. For the first time the heroic girl began to despair, She felt that she was growmg weaker. Nothing had pass- ed her lips since the morning before, when they had left ort, She was growing faint, and won ered if she had not best_give up the battle; but not yet. and again she pressed on. Her father had not moved for some time, and she did not know if he still lived. but dead or alive, iLshe reached the shore she would bring him with her. The steamer Like-Like left port on that morning two or three hours later than usual, owmg to delay caused by the : gale the day previous. Straight out into the channel she steamed, About 3 o’clock in the afternoon the man on watch called to the officer on the deck that he saw some strange object a little ahead of the steamer. Asked what it looked like, he said he thought it some strange animal, but that it was surely alive, as he saw it move from time to time All hands watched for a glimpse of the object which had been reported. and in half an hour they were near enough to see from the deck and to recognize it as a living being. A boat was quickly lowered and rowed rapidly to the side of the object. They found a native girl with an apparently dead man tied fast to her body swimming feebly away from them. \Vitli a stroke of the oars they overtook her and grasped her to raise her into the boat. She did not seem to know that any one was near her and still strove weakly to swim away from them, but strong bands lifted her up and laid her down in the bottom of the boat. At first they thought the man was dead, but when tliev reached the steamer’s deck he was still faintly breathing. and in the hands of a. skillful physician he was brought to his senses. But more interest was felt in the poor girl than in him. \Vhen she had left Laupahoehoe the morning before she was a beautiful girl. When lifted to the steamer’s deck she was burned and blistered, face, neck and arms until the raw flesh looked like nothing human. Her hair was filled with salt crys- tals and matted and knotted So that before they could do much for her they were obliged to cut it off. But she was alive and more than that she had sav- ed her father’s life also. “Then the steamer reached Honolulu both were in a way to recovery. Kalili was the hero- ine of the day. From the place where the schooner sank to where the steamer picked the castaways up was twenty miles in a di- rect line. Of course the girl had not kept a direct line, and had covered much more distance than that.

Yet the accumulation has gone on until there is barely room to walk about in the library itself, while a dozen rooms elsewhere in the building are filled with the overflow. \Vith the need in plain sight it took Congress several years to make up its mind to erect a library building, but finally, in April, 1866, it decided to doso. _ A site was chosen on Capitol hall, directly east of the Capitol itself, and $550,000 was appropriated for its pur- chase.
