I hcsc liule vcssels were made from the dry wood of the trec, and could sail finely in the strong Molokai wind. We used to put a long, heavy pieee of lead, upon thc keel of the vesscl, thcn u would sail like a real schooner, c!ose up to the wind \Vhy, Unele Phil would like to go back to Molokai agaio, just to eat some of those fat fish and uil « ivUMli schooncr across that pood But, Unele Phil is sony to hear that his old home 4 is going to pieeea*.
