Seeing the call put out yesterday reminded me of the words of Queen Liliuokalani in her, “Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen,” where she looks back on the quarantine of 1881. I trust we will be able to look back some day with similar feelings of accomplishments.
…and whatever the inconveniences it became necessary at all hazards to prevent its spread

HE HULA LAHUI KEIA.
(Hakuia e C. L. Kekahu.)
Ua hiki mai ma Honolulu
He ukana mai Samola Poki
Hoomaluuia e ke Aupuni

Ili ulaula ili keokeo
Hookahi kumu i hewa ai
Na moku hoopae limahana
Hoolahaia ma ka nupepa
Weli e na kuaaina
Kau e mai no ka maka’u
I ka wanana a ka Luahine
Ua ko na mea a pau
O ka hopena paha keia
Pani paa ia na mokuahi
Aohe au mai i ke kai
Pehea oe e ke Aupuni
E waiho kahela mai nei
Ua hala o Kalani i Mareka

E noho i ka Hae Kalaunu
I mau aku kona welo ana
Haina ia mai ka puana
Nou e Hawaii Ponoi.
Wananalua, Hana, Maui, Feb. 17, 1881.
[THIS IS A HULA FOR THE LAHUI.
(Composed by C. L. Kekahu.)
Arrived in Honolulu
A shipment of Small Pox
Quarantined by the Government
In a house where friends are not seen
The People are terrified
Both the brown skin and the white skin
There is one thing to blame
The ships which bring in laborers
It is reported on in the newspaper
That the countryside is dreadful
Fear came upon us
From the prediction of the Old Woman
All things came to pass
Perhaps this is the end
The steamships are shut closed
They do not sail the sea
How are you O Nation
Lying exposed
The King has left for America
Remaining are the Younger Siblings
Reigning by the Royal Standard
May it wave forever
Let the refrain be told
For you O Hawaii’s Own.
Wananalua, Hana, Maui, Feb. 17, 1881]

Mistaken Announcement.—In Number 10 of the Paeaina [Ko Hawaii Pae Aina] of the 5th of March.
