ner, set sail from this side of Kaha.
kuloa in canoe well equipped with
giant powder
The occupants of the frail bark
were an old father and two sons; the
aged man sitting in the stern, having
in his charge the dangerous explo-
sive, one son in the bow and the
other in the waist of the boat.
When in deep water, not far
from the PERCEPTIONS shore, the
young man forward called out to
his father to beware of the powder,
aud imagining it about to explode
jumped into the sea. His thoughts
must have been verified Immediately
for upou arising to the surface, for
moment there was nothing to be
seen-canoe, brother and father had
vanished. Soon aiterward his brother
arose to view, somewhat injured, for
the water in his vicinity was dis
colored with blood. Then a frag
ment Of the canoe was noticed, but
no trace of the old man could be
| found until several days atterward
when the upper part of MS body was
washed ashore. The wounded fish
erman hoated ashore upon the piece
of wreck, and though his injuries
were somewhat serious and required
the attentions of physician, he will
soon (if be has not already recover.
Whas ignited the powder is I'M
known. Some think that the matches |
in tin box together with tobacco |
and pipe, caught fire and thus |
kindled the fuses while others i'm
agine that the ignition arose from
combustion.
Yesterday, the 18th inst, two large
four. wheeled bullock carts, belonging
to Haleakala Ranch, were passing
along the KakonHo road Tin Maka
wa), one. directly behind the other,
on their way makai, heavily laden
with wood. Mary Baker niece of
Judge Copp's, at this time riding to
school, met these cumbrous vehicles
Just mauka of Phumalei Dairy, where
the road is very narrow and the sides
steep and high. The native driver of
the first team having his bullocks
we'll in hand was safely passed, but
the Portuguese in charge of the Sec
ond cart, not for the moment on the
watch, permitted the cattle to swerve
and thus jammed the young lady
and her horse between his front
wheel and the precipitous bank. The
horse was seriously injured, but the
school girl fortunately was thrown
under the wagon between the first
and second wheels. and escaped with
q badly shoulder.
Moral: Makawao people should al 1
ways give bullock-earts wide berth,
and should never attempt to pass
hem, as is frequently the case, where
The road is narrow.
