This caption of Bellows is looking north along Waimanalo beach, so the hills in the background really cannot be Mokapu point, but I don't know their true name.

Andy: You are absolutely correct. This is in fact the distinctive silhouette of Wailea Point that separates Waimanalo from Lanikai. Mokapu Point is the next point beyond what is seen here. The caption has been corrected and thank you for pointing this out!
