luau to celebrate the event. This was followed by a splendid ball in the evening, which was attended by all the best society ofHonolulu , whether of native or foreign birth. But after this festivity the princess was taken suddenly ill, and left forKailua onHawaii in hopes that the journey would restore her health. She received every attention, but did not recover; and on the twenty-forth day of May her remains were brought back to Honolulu, and laid in state in the handsome new house, Keouahale.
