Owyhee, or Hawaii, the largest and most east-
ern of the Sandwich Islands, in the Pacific
Ocean. Its length from N. to S. is 84 m. and its
breadth 70. It is divided into 6 districts, 2 of
which, on the N. E. side, are separated by a moun-
tain, which rises in three peaks, the summits of
which are 18,000 feet above the level of the sea ;
they are perpetually covered with snow, and may
be seen at 40 leagues distance. To the N. of
this mountain the coast consists of high and abrupt
cliffs, down which fall many beautiful cascades ;
and the whole country is covered with cocoa-nut
and bread-fruit trees. To the S. the ground is
covered with cinders, and in many places has
black streaks, which seem to mark the course of
a lava that has flowed from the mountain to the
shore. The southern promontory looks like the
mere dregs of a volcano. The projecting head-
land is composed of broken and craggy rocks pil-
ed irregularly on one another, and terminating
sharp points; yet amid these ruins, are many
patches of rich soil, carefully laid out in planta-
tions. The fields are enclosed by stone fences,
and are interspersed with groves of cocoa-nut
trees. Here Captain Cook, in 1779, fell a victim
