Going ashore I met Albert Waterhouse who travelled to Singapore with us in 1916. The view from the harbour showed a green mountainous island with clouds hanging in the recesses of the higher volcanoes, above Honolulū. On the plain westward were pearl banks with fields of light green sugar cane could be detected. Eastward beyond Waikiki, Diamond Head an old volcano aster stood sentinel + sloped steeply into the sea.
