Eow Two Young Ladies "Romaneed"
from Waimea to Kohals

There il saying that "alls we'll
that ends WE'LL" bat undoubtedly
there are occasions when those who
are in pursuit Of desired end sin.
cereIy wish 1t might be attained
without so many hardships.
A party Of three-two ladies and
a gentleman started from Waimea
last Thursday forenoon, the 18th
inst, for Kohala. On passing
house where there YVES a telephone,
near TO where the road branched,
the gentleman entered to notify the
friends In Kohala that they were
on the way, while the ladies rode
on at q brisk pace. Proceeding on
his way he observed that the ladies
had taken the wrong road, and en-
sdeavored to turn them back, but,
misinterpreting his calls and gestic-
ulations, they whipped their anil
mails and appeared delighted in be-
ing so far in advance of him, and
like many other deIuded mortaIs,
triumphantly continued on their
way, as much as to say, overtake
us If you can.
The gentleman's mule, however,
though an old stager on the route,
refused TO start Off or the wrong
road to overtale the ladies', and af-
ter two hours waiting for them to
return, with anxious inquiry Of )c-
casional wayfarers, and vainly re-
newed attempts to urge his mule,
he started up the hill on the road
TO K0hala alone.
In the meantime, the ladies be-
gan TO suspect the possibilities Of
error on their part, but inquiries Of
passing Chinaman only elected
the information that they were now
so far out of the way that their best
plan was TO continue to Kawaihae
and to proceed to Kohala from
there. So said, so done. Fortu-
nately the lunch package of the
party was In their possession.
About p. M. the KohaIa friends
were called up for consultation with
Kawaihae by telephone, the out
come Of which was that they were
to start again on their way and be
met by two young men from Ko-
hala. In the meantime the clouds
were fast closing in and the longed-
for rain began to pour. After sun
down, the two young men, having
been nearly to Kawaihae and back
from there by way Of the Waimea
road to Kahua, wired from there
the fruitless results of their GRAND.
Matters were looking serious.
They started out again, went down
to Kawaihae and having vainly
continued their search until after
midnight, concluded to camp be-
hind the rocks until daylight. They
have not been heard to say whether
their stone pillows afforded them
peaceful slumbers and visions of
ladders reaching heavenward, or
had dreams of heroic rescues of inn
periled fair ones, with romantic
finales.
About p. NJ. the gentleman from
Waimea passed the central Office
we'll drenched and in due time was
glad to reach the end of his jour
ney, but where, oh where were the
ladies? The telephones were kept
busy until after 10 p. NJ, but no
further trace of the wanderers was
discovered. In the morning vari-
GUS relief parties were preparing to
start out for the lost travellers when
their voices were heard over the
wires from Mahukona!
1t seems that having strictly fol-
lowed their instruction to "keep
the lower TRAIL" in order to avoid
being lost in the mountains, they
faithfully took every trail that
turned to the left, and found them
selves benighted on the coast. At
ter repeated rests and renewed
searches up and down for a plain
road, they, too, concluded to camp
on soft rock until daylight should
come to their aid, and then rose
early to resume their journey,
