Mr.. Henry Dimond imported man
grove seeds from Micronesia about ten
years ago. A tree from these seeds is
now growing on Minister Damon's land
some 800 feet northwest of the present
fish market.
The mangrove tree is adapted to low ,
marshy lands, where other trees will not
thrive. The tree attains large size and
makes excellent firewood.
This tree is producing seeds.

There was some rare sport at the
Wilder wharf last evening. Some
bullocks were being loaded on the
Claudine. The animals made determined
resistance. They dragged dock hands
and deck hands all over the place.
Chinese and native loungers took refuge
on piles OF sugar. The bullocks roared
and kicked, and several times in their
struggles all but threw themselves and
others into the water. Once in the air
the bullock gave up. When they landed
on the deck from the sling they simply
laid down. The journey proved to the
animal his utter helplessness. Once there
was nearly a fatality. The men forgot
to loosen the rope which held the bull
lock to post ON the dock. The body OF
the animal went into the air and its
head remained at the post. The error
was discovered quite early, but a lot OF
spectators will always wonder how much
that bullock's neck would have stretched
without swapping.

tation, Hawaii.
The deluges of last week were heavier
and more damaging on Hawaii than on
this island. In the Kau district the
stormes were especially fierce and dam
aging. A series OF floods visited the
vicinity OF the Pahala plantation. All
the employees were out day and night
fighting the advances of great bodies OF
overflow. Fumes We're washed away,
fences carried off and growing crops in
jured, Manager Fuller, who is now in
the city, estimates the loss to the Pahala
Company at thousands OF dollars.
Figures given unofiicially are $l5,0 900 to
$4,000. The repairs about the place
will require weeks of labor. The output
for the season will be lessened and de-
layed.
AT the Waianae mill, this island
grinding has ceased and will not be re-
sumed Tor some time. The floods drove
laborers from the fields.

The present year will be- one of record
in Kau; Tor, following the Unprecedented
amount Of moisture, the delugr which
inundated Pahala and vicinity early on
Thursday stands pre-emncnt even when
the memory OF the oldest inhabitant is
raked over.
No prcmouitions were given. unless
the unusual and deathly cam Of the pre-
codirg evening is considered rs one.
During Wednesday night small show
ers gently fell; at q am. the rain began
to come down with terrible force and
rapidity. Suddenly binding flash
made clear to all that an elect ical storm
of magnitude was about t. develop.
Peal after peal, flash succeeding flash;
then Boreas blew blast. From this on
the wind blew with hui ric tne force
such as never before has been expert
enced in the locality
The storm seemed to come from the
mountains ten miles distant and journey.
ed at an incredible rate of speed soon
becoming central at Pahala. All work
was, of course, suspended. and those
who had the good fortune to gain shelter
soon wished they were IN the open, for
with every salvo of artillery the danger
seemed increased, houses shook as
if from an earthquake shock. Huge
trees blew down rs easily ~ reeds, in
some instances doing large damage to
houses, several almost miraculous cs-
capes OF the inmates being reported.
One large frame Dwelling forty feet long
was lifted bodily and deposited seven
feet from its original site, twisted and
distorted out of all shape.
Huge lengths OF wooden flume were
carried long distances and smashed into
kindling. Accurate estimates cannot be
made as yet, but it is known that con-
siderably over two miles OF fume are
destroyed. The lower runs Immediately
on the surface suffered a. badly as a
twenty-ioot trestle. The water poured
down in raging torrents, carving huge
gulches in the beautiful green cane fields
and washing out large areas of young
plant; seed being carried miles from the
fields.
About o'clock hail b gan to fall.
Most of these icy fragments were over
three quarters of an inch across and the
weight and force of these can be ina
gined, driven as they were by u veritable
cyclone. Said a prominent official of
the Ii. A. Co.: "This is the most fearful
visitation that | have experienced and
the damage may reach $4,000 to us,
the outside planters. We had 'kona'
in 1886, but that was a mere puff to this
blizzard, whose work of ruin you see SO
plainly. Hail fell twelve years ago, but
the pellets were mere shot in size"

naluu just as the food commenced. The

track was injured in some places; huge

rents, obstruct the right of way. the

Accidentally Killed.

Pioce Record, 21st: This morning
about nine o'clock the dead body of
Jerry Tibberty was found at the bot
tom of the shaft of the Lafayette mine,
just east of town, and owned by Joe
Cook. Tibberty had been working in
the mine for few days past, alone,
and failing last night to come home,
search was instituted this morning.
His candlestick and hat were found
near the top of the shaft, indicating
that he had fallen from that point.
The shaft is 100 feet deep. A coron-
er's inquest was held on the remains
yesterday afternoon and verdict of
accidental death from falling down
the shaft, returned. It would appear
that the deceased stopped near the top
of the shaft to rest on one of the lad
der rests. The body was badly cut
up, the most serious injury being at
the back of the head.
