KAUMEHEIWAs TRIP.
Kaumeheiwa, finely built native
youth of % years of age, was ABOUT
one mile away from Koolau's house
on Tuesday night. When he heard the
two rifle shots fired he instantly sus-
spected that there was something
wrong. He did not stop to find out
what the shooting was, but straight
way ran to his old and Ieaky canoe
and padded over to Mana that night,
distance of nearly fifteen miles. The
canoe was about a feet long, L inches
wide, and IA inches deep. 1t was made
from kukui wood, and looked very
old. On one side near the bow IS Il
hole nearly eight or ten inches square.
This was covered with canvas putted
with soap to keep out the water.
The canoe was visited by many PEG.
pie yesterday as it lay on the deck of
the steamer Waialeale. 1t is such
rickety old thing that no one in this
city would dare TO go out alone to the
bell buoy in it, yet Kaumeheiwa pad
died single handed, with the canoe at
times half full of water, for fifteen
miles in the open sea. But the Wea-
Their was moderate, and so he ran but
little danger.
About midnight on Tuesday Kau-
mebeiwa reached Mana. He obtained
a horse and rode over to the mill near
by to telephone to Sheriff G. n. Will
cox at Lihue. When he had per-
formed his mission, Kaumeheiwa re-
turned to his little canoe and went to
Kalalau the same night. He was
picked up by the steamer Waialeale
on Wednesday morning while on his
way to Waimea. The canoe was half
full of water when hoisted on the
steamers deck. That was the first
time the informer heard of the tragic
ending of Sheriff Stolz.
Deputy-sheriff w. e. Deyerill, of
Hanalei, spoke in high terms of Kau-
meheiwa's gallant action. lie stated
that purse was being raised at Wal
mea.
THE WAIALEALE FOR KALALAU.
At > O'Clock on Wednesday morn
ing, June 2Sth, Sheriff Wilcox COM
municated with his deputy at Hanalei,
Mr.. Deverill, about the shooting of Mr..
Stoiz, with orders at the same time
for Deverill to do as he thought best
in the matter. Mrs. Deverill rowed
out in boat to the steamer Wal
aleale, which was at anchor at Hama
up steam. At AM. Mr.. and Mrs.
Deverill, two native policemen, Peter
Nowlein Ga brother of Sam Nowlein
OF this city,, and Penikiia, left Hama
lei for I<alalau, the scene of the ira
gedy, with a whaleboat in tow.
Kalalau was made at daybreak,
When the lepers saw the Waialeale.
steaming into Kalalau bay they all
ran up into the woods, leaving behind
them the dead body of Stolz.
The sight of the steamers approach
restored the respondent kamaainas
driven out to sleep in the caves dur
ing the night. The constant fear of
death at the hands of the Infatuated
lepers was brought to an end. Peter
NOwlein was sent ashore to find out
what the trouble was. When in
formed that Stolz was dead, NoWlein
went up with number of men and
brought down the dead body. Ten of
the natives went on board the Wal
aleale, desiring to be landed at Hama
lei, but as the steamer did not touch
at that port, these people were
brought to Honolulu. They came
with nothing except the clothes
which they wore. The Waialeale left
Kalalau at noon with the body of
Louis III. Stolz and steamed for Wal
mea. When she went away, about
forty of the natives, including five of
the Iepers. Kapahee (k), kamali TX,
Pauwahine (w), Mele (w) and Hakau
(k), were preparing to leave for Ha-
nalei in three whale boats. Ihey are
supposed to be all at Hanalei by this
time. The names of the natives
brought to Honolulu are: KapoH
(w), Puahi (w), Pole (w), Mailelo (k),
Kawika (w), Mu (w), Kahalehau wv,
Milika (k), Iva (k) and kaumehe-
iva (k).
On reaching Waimea, Stolz's body
was taken ashore there. Mrs. Stolz
being absent in Honolulu, and DR..
Campbell being away, no post NOR
tenn examination was held. The body
WAS ldhtn Oll Vic
and brought to Honolulu. Before
leaving, Deputy Sheriff Deverill or
dered seven special policemen to
guard the NualolO path from Kalalau
to Waimea, and six men were ordered
to guard the pass towards Haena.
These exists are thus closed. These
passes are mere trails and dangerous,
and in many places narrow into goat
tracks. None but kamaainas would
dare scale these steep precipices, some
of which are said to be more than
three thousand feet high.
The pass towards Haena is so mar
row and precipitous that one man
could stand off thousand armed men
so thinks Mr.. Deverill. The pass
towards Waimea is likewise danger
Gus. Here is the famous "NualolO
aiahaka," or Nualolo aqueduct. 1t
consists of an alahee log thirty-two
feet long and about twenty inches in
circumference. This log is laid across
two hills several hundred feet high,
and beneath it is the ocean. Nervous
men would not attempt to go across
it. This log has been lying there for
over one hundred years, and the ignor-
ant natives believe that it has been
deified by their ancestors. Over these
two narrow trails the lepers came to
live at Kalalau, from all parts of
Kauai and Niihau.
