("Hele Kaapuni ana ia Maui a me Molokai" (excerpt), Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, June 5, 1869)
April 24—I left Ulupalakua and rode to Kaupo. Mr. William and his guide were my companions on this terribly rocky trail. When we arrived at Nuu my horse was exhausted. I trudged on to Puuomaiai, where I hired a new horse and left my exhausted one. The fee to hire this new horse was $0.25, and it took me to Mokulau, where the village pastor, Mr. Kealoha, resided. There, we spent the night.
April 25—This day was the sabbath, and I conducted prayers there. The Protestant church was full of people, and I prepared for my work. Afterwards, I reported the news of Africa before the assembled crowd. As I watched them, they appeared full of joy and interest. There was a little bit of a disturbance this day in that a youth among the crowd was somewhat drunk. Thus, his words and actions were strange.
April 26—I left Kaupo and rode to Kipahulu, spending the night with the Rev. D. Puhi. On the morning of Tuesday, the 27th, I met with the members of this church. This was a calm and pleasant gathering with no disturbances. They were interested in hearing news of the pagan regions.
From here, I returned to Kaupo and spent another night and then went on to spend the night at Honuaula.
