News of the Royal Court
The health of the King these past days has been good, and in the evening of this Wednesday he sailed for Molokai aboard the ship of Captain Thomas B. Hanham [Kapena Hanehama].

The king’s new pili-thatched house [Haleuluhe] was built in Beritania, upland of Honolulu; it was the old church that was demolished, and it was newly built there. Maybe 800 [elua lau] people would not fill it.
