Many come again and again. Ask them what there is about the Islands that so grips the heart and imagination, and likely as not they will answer vaguely (with reminiscent smile) : \"Oh . . . everything\"Then, swept along by a flood of memories, they will try to tell you. The \"voyage over\" (no ocean passage smoother, sunnier, more delightful) . . . life ordered by the whim of the moment . . . splendor happily mated with informality. Fleeting hours of dancing and deck sports, dining, deck-chair dreaming. A new design for living.Soon . . . Hawaii! On deck to greet the dawn, as cool trade winds sweep away the wisps of lingering night. The last sleepy blinks of a lighthouse. Emerald-clad hills taking shape beyond a mid-Pacific shoreline, as the rising sun gilds their cloud-rack. Diamond Head, \"Gibraltar of the Pacific,\" emerging like a sentinel on duty. Honolulu Harbor.Mingled flower-scents drift down the offshore breeze, along with the haunting strains of Island melodies by the Royal Hawaiian band.Brown-skinned boys cleave the warm, translucent waters, to emerge triumphantly with coins tossed overside. Smiling faces throng the dock. Native lei girls jostle for the visitor's favor, girdling willing shoulders with their fragrant wreaths.Even Nature, it seems, dons festive finery . . . the royal purple of the bou-gainvillea, bright hibiscus, poinsettia, Jacaranda, fragrant oleander, crotón bushes, \"shower\" trees . . . foaming like rainbow-tinted breakers, over wall and walk. A royal fete, your welcome to these lovely \"Isles of Content\"!There's Only One Hawaii  Hawaii is unlike any other spot on earth—-even to its plant life. Trees, flowers and shrubs gathered from the world's far corners thrive along with rare native flora. Magnificent are the huge banyans and monkey-pods, spreading over entire blocks. Ferns fantastically achieve tree size and group themselves in forests! The royal palms . . . tall and arrow-straight . . . suggest a stately \"Queen's Guard.\" Ranks of iron-wood and eucalyptus march along the highways.The Hawaiian hibiscus challenges the world's artists with its countless color-combinations. But most ethereal of all the island flowers is the delicate, moon-worshiping cereus, which blooms only at night.Yes, Hawaii is unique! A land where all seasons merge into one . . . children go barefoot the year 'round . . . agile brown boys \"walk\" up coco palms to toss down coconuts for food and drink . . . laborers wear flower leis . . . blossom-vendors call, door-to-door . . . and not a poisonous reptile or dangerous animal can be found!"}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/30774/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"non-paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/30774/canvas/p1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"80-44medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/34748/full/160%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/34748","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2456,"height":3065,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/30774/annotation/p0001-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/34748/full/641%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2456,"height":3065,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/34748","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/30774/canvas/p1"}]}]}]}
