He was thirty, unknown, and sent to the Sandwich Islands for four months by a Sacramento paper. Twain sent back twenty five letters: the sugar men, the missionaries, the fire lake at Kilauea, the ride down to Kona on a horse he despised, and the survivors of the burned Hornet, an interview that made his name. The reporting job where he found the voice.
