(Slate explains that this is a military rest camp a half mile from the Kilauea crater.) Camera pans across cabins occupied by military families. Some soldiers are seen having fun on the grounds. Camp visitors are seen looking across a crater at smoke rising from the active Mauna Loa volcano. View from behind of Secretary Davis conversing with the Superintendent, Richard T. Evans, of Kilauea National Park, as they both watch the steaming crater. A huge chunk of lava rock bearing a sign that reads: "8 tons, hurled over one mile high during eruption May, 1924."

Farrington places a ball on what is marked as "19th hole 510 yards." Davis and other onlookers stand nearby. Several sailors stand by a sign reading:"Kilauea Golf Course, 19th hole- Halemaumau." Using an iron, Farrington drives the ball, raising sand from the ground. Davis then tries his hand, striking his ball, with a clean drive, and follows up with a smooth ground stroke that puts his ball into the volcanic crater. The men and spectators look out over the crater for possible sight of the ball.
