March "a, Mahiai (k) of Wal
kapu reports that he in company
with his friend Kahahana (k.) went
to Kaupukuloa, Hamakualoa, Maka-
wac District, to procure canoe from
relative named Kalani (kO, which
was delivered to him. Kahahana
started to return in it to Kahului,
while Mahiai came back on horse
back, leading the others horse to
Kahului, where he was to await the
arrival of his companion Kahahana,
who was seen trying to put in at
Maliko Gulch, but the wind was
blowing too sharp and he could not
make n landing. He was advised by
those on shore to go in at Kuau.
This was about ) 80 p. M, and later,
about dark, the man in the canoe was
seen off Kuau, but he made no at
tempt to put in at that place and
continued on towards Paia. AT day
light next morning, as kahahana had
not arrived at kahului, Mahial be-
came anxious and returned along the
beach TO look for his friend. AT
small fishing place called Kaa, be-
tween Sprcckelsyille and Kahului, he
found the canoe bottom up on the
sand, the paddles gone and the man
nowhere to be found.
The missing man was an expert
with canoe, having tished and
traded between Lanai and Molokai,
and was well known and highly
esteemed. As he has not returned
to Waikapu where he belongs, it is
supposed he is drowned. He leaves
quite large family to mourn his
loss. Immediately upon the inform
alton being lodged with the Sheriff,
Mr.. Chillingworth had his men out,
and the beach was thoroughly pat
rolled, but up to present writing no
trace of the body has been dis
covered.
Society people still continue on
their way rejoicing, amusing and
being amused, with receptions, after
noon and high teas, dinner and card
parties, etc, etc., apparently utterly
Indifferent to the momentous ques-
tions of the day, such as annexation,
sugar bounties, contract labor, opium
license and the like, in which so many
of your good people are in heated
debate at present.
This afternoon there is to be a
social gathering and dance at the
elegant new home of one of the peo-
pie of Wailuku, at which Paia, Ma
kawao and Wahee loneliness will
predominant. On Thursday next,
Mrs. Ed. Friel will entertain her
many lady friends at her pretty home
at Waikapu with afternoon tea.
Prominent among the picnic and
riding parties of the past week was
one from Sprccklesville and Kahului
to the beautiful lao Valley.
Col. L. $. Spalding, of Paris,
France, and Kauai, II. L., has been
visiting his sister-in law, Mrs. Geo.
Herbert, of Wailuku, during the
past week, combining business with
pleasure. Business called him to
Waihee, to examine into the present
management of the plantation at that
place, of which he is the president.
The Colonel is looking we'll, but
Judging from brief conversation
with him, is not very favorably i'm,
pressed with the future prospects for
Hawaii, and is evidently strong
advocate of annexation as a prompt
remedy for many of the existing
evils, including the present stagna-
ton in business.
The harbor at kahului looks bare
and empty. There are no vessels in
port, which is rather unusual for this
season of the year. The schooner
Mary Dodge, Gallop master, dis.
charged her cargo of redwood from
Eureka, for Wilder & Co.. and sailed
Monday, March p, for Mahukona
North Kohala, Hawaii, where she
will load sugar for San Francisco.
The schooner Anna, Williams mas.
ter, is due at this port, having left
San Francisco on the 18th.
We are pleased to report quite s
decided improvement in the condition
of our Circuit Judge, Hon. George
Richardson. Mr.. III. G.. Treadway
who has been quite i'll at his house
for the past week or ten days, il
again at his desk, although not fully
recovered.
Mr.. f. b. Carley of Kahului, su
perintendent of the Maui Telephone
Co., in cOnvaesciug rapidly and
although not able to attend to outside
active business, can be heard in an
swer to telephone call for "cen
trail"
Strong +. and N. L. winds still
prevail, with continued rain squalls
The temperature Is decidedly cool
too much so for health o. comfort
and there is great deal of sickness
in the district, so that the Sisters il
charge of our hospital at Kahulu
