FROM THE HILO RECORD.

A Japanese at work on one of the
high fumes at the Pepekeo planta-
ton, slipped therefrom and fell to the
ground. He was much injured about
the head, probably from striking the
crosspieces of the fiume, and other
wise much bruised on his head and
body. 1t is a wonder that he was not
killed outright. He is in fair way
to recover. There have been quite
number of instances of this kind Of
accident before on our Hilo fumes,
and greater care should be used. It
is the duty of managers to instruct
their laborers of this danger.
On Friday evening of last week in
vitations to a wharf warming were
sent out to his numerous friends by
Mr.. John Scott, manager of the Hilo
Sugar Company, at Wainaku. The
occasion was the completion of the
new wharf at the Wainaku landing.
A large and merry company as
sembled in the large house built over
the wharf and passed the evening
most delightfully."- in games and trip
ping the light fantastic toe. A boun-
tiful collation. was partaken of during
the evening, and all went off with
the feeling that it was one of the
pleasantest reunions that had taken
place in our little town for a long
while. The wharf was beautifully
decorated and the electric and other
lights made it almost fairy scene.
This is one of the finest pieces of work
ever done in HilO, and reflects great
credit on the manager. The wharf is
built out on iron piles and all housed
in. There is about eight feet of water
alongside and makes the matter of
taking in and discharging cargo very
easy. We believe the whole cost is
somewhere about $1,000.
A sugar plantation can build good
wharf, and why should the Hilo pub
lie go without one? If there is one
thing we do need here it is a good
wharf at Waiakea.
We hear that the fre-eating
emmisaries of the Bush-Wilcox
wing are on the rampage in Central
is about to scalp the "vile haole" for
giving the country a new constitu-
ton, and that if they are sent to the
Legislature they will do away with
it, and give Hawaii the blessings of a
free republic. How they can do this
in the Legislature is more than we
can see, but the fiery leaders know
more than anyone else.
Mr.. Crabbe and family left fas'
Honolulu on the Kinau. Hilo is
sorry to loose one of their genial
families, but wish the departing
family all luck and happiness in their
new home. Friend Crabbe, you have
q hard row to hoe, if reports are true
about the state of things in your new
locality. Face the music and be q
man.
On Friday afternoon last week the
wind commenced blowing fresh from
the north, and on Saturday ire
mendous surf was breaking on the
reef and rolling in on to our beach,
making it impossible to land at the
jetty at this side of the bay. On Sun
day it was no less, and the Kinau was
forced to land her freight and passen-
gers at Waiakea. Towards evening
yesterday the wind began to moder-
ate, and this morning the storm
seems broken. Much damage was
done to the road across the Waiolama
stream. We hear that it has been
especially rough all along the Hama
kua coast. The Iwalani and other
boats were forced to run into our bay
during the storm. There has been no
rain here with the blow.
