Hilo

Hilo may even return to national prominence, as it did in 2011, when its senior division won the little league world series.

Kilauea is more than two hundred miles southeast of Honolulu, and thirty miles inland from the port of Hilo.

The next day was darker, and the next after that, when a gale came down upon us that seemed likely to swamp Motu Hilo.

It might have been blown from Motu Hilo, and seemed ominous of something, I scarcely knew what.

We sailed along close to the shore, and by two o'clock were near the entrance to the Bay of Hilo.

I think at least half the population of Hilo had been on board the yacht in the course of the day, as a Christmas treat.
