Prince David is a nephew of Queen Liliuokalani. He has never taken any interest in politics but at the same time is thoroughly bound up in the interests of his people. He is a close friend of Col. Parker, and is a genuine good fellow and polished man of the world.

Among the staunchest supporters I have had at all times are Senators C. K. Davis, of Minnesota, and John W. Daniel, of Va. In season and out these gentlemen have defended me from the malicious attacks of my persecutors, both on the floor of the Senate and elsewhere:

Another of my friends is Wm. St. John, who is the representative of the famous Pintsch Gas Buoy, now being used by all ieading maritime nations, Mr. St. John being the pioneer in its introduction in the United States.

On one of my trips through the East and North I visited the home of my cousin, Wm. Lyman, in Massachusetts, whose portrait with his wife appears on the preceding page.
