Anderson and another soldier

He then suddenly realized that if he

rolled down the hill in disorder.
Anderson fell very near him. hoolau
waited until the soldiers were out OF
sight, and then hearing Anderson
grosn, he went to him and told him
that he was hoolsu, and asked If he
could do anything for him: Anderson
! asked for water, which koolau got
from his stronghold and gave to him
ST frequent intervals. Complaining
OF psin in his wounds, hoolsu moved

and took off some OF his clothes, and
then went down the valley to search
for medicinal fern TO relieve the
psir Of the wound. He applied it,
/ but Anderson was sinking fast. and
only asked for water until he had

more. and while koolau was down
! getting more water Anderson died,
/ for he found him dead on his return.
In regard 10 the second assault on

Csbe's death, hoolau says he hsd
been down during the night 70 the
+ lower end Of the valley, saw both the
[ police and soldiers camps. and sue
I csssfuliy passed the soldiers pickets
4 by going along the mountain side,
but found no police pickets on duty
/ He saw the party coming up to make
| the assault and says be could have
picked of, every man, but did not
want to commit wsnton murder,
but only murder to protect him
self. As the party advanced
he watched them. and when they
drew near. his wife and child climbed
further along the ledge, while be lay
down before his loop-holed wall of
stones He says ne felt great re-
morse at having 10 shoot McCsbe be-
cause as he advanced he saw by his
action that he was perfectly calm
and fearless. while others Of the
party were .-pupule," but being the
advance. as soon as his head ap-
peared above the ledge he blew the
| top Of his head of. As soon as
McCsbe fell the others retreated in
great disorder and he could easily
have shot others. but had shed
enough blood, and as long as left
alone, did not want to Kill for fun.
As soon as McCabe fell. he dis
charged from three rifles about forty
rounds OF ammunition, his wife re
turning to ill the empty magazines.
! He says he did this 70 brighten the
pursuers. and make them think a
large number were concealed with
him. He says and his own relatives
do not deny. that all the time his
sister and brother IL law were talk
ing OF calling out to him, that he
was carrying on conversation with
either Of them. hariEg previously
arranged nth his friends and relations
that # ersr they Jrsre called upoH to act
as dst0y5 fer his capture certain signals
or cards rers to Js mentioned 50 az to
pr him on his guard. and that he saw
the signals and heard the words
which told him, they were only de
coys for the "hsoles,' and while one
was shouting for him the other
would talk with him. He says his sister
advised him to leave the head of the
valley as everybody was looking for
him there, and to come down TO the
lower camps neighborhood as ne
would BE- safer there, and less likely
to be looked for. That night he,
with his wife and child came down
the valley and camped within 500
feet Of Camp Dole. and as soon as
Larsen took the expedition away he
again had full run Of the valley and
related these stories to the inhabit-
ants When the expedition returned
with W o. Smith, encouragement,
be was not far from the beach in
hiding. and watched the expedition
reland and was very much amused
to hear shortly that his sister had
taken the party back to his strong
hold to look for him. The episode
in regard to his care Of Andersen, if
true. shows out the true character OF
the man and the usual kindness OF
the HsWsilans.,
