The question, however, of communication with Honolulu is another matter and would probably require a station of a different type to that suggested. I presume, therefore, that if the Colony wants a service with Honolulu it will be necessary for it to erect an auxiliary station at its own expense. The Colbein Grindle 1/26/7/20 W.
