DEATH Down PREcIProE.-A native woman
named Kekuaole the wife of Holokahiki, was killed
few days ago Lanai, In the rayine of Maunalei,
nader the following circumstances. She lived in
the ravne, and was at the time of her DEATH return
ing home with her husband and son from Koele,
the residence of Mr.. Gibson Their pathway led
down steep and dangerous descent into the bed
OF tie rsvine, which was rendered still more dan
gerous by recent heavy rains and land slides. At
certain point, stones frequently falling. The
least agitation eoncussion of the atmosphere,
caused even BY q shout, will detach stones to be
hurled into the depths below. AS these three
natives were stepping cautiously down their peri
lous path, a small stone fired like shot struck the
woman or the head,-she gave agoniziug cry of
d,nDe, aud still staggered forward; but was imme-
diately afterwards struck the right leg by large
stone which broke the leg, aud hurled her down
the precipice. The young and active son. an expert
mountaineer, bounded like wild goat down the
face of the fearful steep 10 rescue his mother, but
when he reached her, she wss a mangled and al
most unacceptable corpse. A curious superst-
ton is connected with falling stones and dangerous
passes OF the beautiful and romantic raviBe of
Maunalei the (mouuian wreath0 Ii has steep
impossible walls from four to five hundred feet in
height, which extend for length OF about two
miles, and the only easy and safe access TO the
"a faNlue, Is bY the mouth near The sea. From this
point is distance of nearly three miles 10 bouuti-
lul waters, which gush IRON the face of the preci-
pee al the head OF the ravIne, and where natives
cultivate tarO and dwell amid orange and banana
groves. These native dwellers in communicating
with the interior of the island prefer the shori,
steep and dangerous pathway out of their ravine
Father than the safer, but more roundabout way.
. Yet when they venture up pass, especially at
point beyond the issue OF water they seek 10 pro-
pitiate the malignity OF an imagined akua noun
tain demon, who guards these passes and who pre-
cptates The stones, by performing little ceremo-
NAL with the hi plant (dracena ternnalis), which
grows aDundantly IN this vicinity They Tie several
points of the long blades of the plant together in
treble knot, and some they lay across the pathway
behind them Some of the natives do not like to
accompany any one who negects or ridcules this
precautiou Some years ago, DIR. Beratz who visited
this ravine was nearly killed by preciptaed stone
which grazed off his hat, and the natives of course
recognized this as warning from the offended
demon 10 the incredulous haole, who had neglected
the customary act of Precipitation. AS the unfortu-
nate woman who persisted had not neglected to tie
up the sacred blades, ner death was attributed TO
the Influence of a noted kahuna on the island, who
had once been offended by her and who controlling
the demon OF Maunalei, practised anaana. or pray
ed poor kekuaOie to death.
