which was satisfactory In every
way. The report came that the sea
was running high. This account
OF a swell noted earlier was con
frmed fully at the landing. This
is a nasty place Ia any sort of bad
weather The boats come into the
open conner of close rock pen
The one all watched had Captain
| Thompson, Purscr Kelley and Chief
| Engineer Mclean aboard. Three
combers came rolling in with tcrrif

not swim at all.
While the boat was being repaired
a council OF war was held IL was
decided TO try first one and then
another landing IN the kalawao
neighborhood AT one point freight
is tossed ashore aud at the other
passengers are sometimes handled
Ambrose Hutchinson sent for Hiki-
au, the famous native pilot
Thompson and Kelley were taken
off to the steamer at imminent peril
Hikiau is a go.ahead fellow. He's
a big, bewhiskered native, who is
clean, but likes Molokai In his
malo only, IIikiau stood on the
rocks and watched his chance.
There came rolling a full breaker
able to crush a bricl; block. He
dived into 1t, came out on the other
side, leaving the twenty feet OF
foam behind. The next one and
the next one he went over with the
ease and grace Of a fish. A few
powerful strokes brought him to
the ships boat and with bonnie
agility he climbed over the side
and was soon on the steamer 1t
was up anchor and off for the other
side at once. All hands ashore
mounted ponies and galloped to
Kalawao landing.
This place is a square natural
pile with fifteen fathom of water at
its edge. A few looked and said
no. The breakers seemed stronger
than at Kalaupapa.
The steamer steefed for Waikolu
point, the Kalawao end of the set
Element and horses heads were
turned that way. The party was
intact until there was reached a
sharp little pail mile beyond Ka-
lawao and yet two miles from Wal
kolu. Few ride down this place.
All but about dozen of the visitors
turned backed. The twelve, with
native girl OF the settlement lead
ing as guide, kept on. The girl
was pleased DAREDEVIL on her pony.
Soon there was no trail at all 1t
was only a way through a track of
small powders, threatening CON
stantly to break the
legs of the mounts. One
side the sea. Mauka, cliffs. The
spray reached the riders. 1t was a
pretty bit of adventure. Within
half a mile of the point it was
essential to leave the ponies. They
could carry one no further. The
walk was up a narrow, slippery
trail, then down another to the
rocks near which the boat from the
ship tossed about with the native
pilot as steersman. There was
wait for the series of three combers,
then rushing, pell nell, chance
scramble into the rocking boat,
then a push away with all the
strength and hurry to be command
ed. Eight of the party reached
the steamer. They were Minister
Cooper, ALI. Carter, DR.. Pratt,
DIR. Capron, Luther Wilcox.
Chas. Wilcox, J. d. McVeigh and
THE STAR representative. Those
ashore, at the Kalawao pail, had
watched the boating business close
ly and were pleased to see it safely
concluded. In an hour and half
the steamer was again at anchor off
Kalaupapa and rolling greatly to
the agony Of those unaccustomed to
voyaging.
During the night seven natives
came to the ship in a canoe, being
unable to land. They had capsiz-
ed, lost all their clothing, nets apd
fish and five paddles. They had
followed the steamer from Waikalu
Point and were in great distress.
Ashore the evening was passed
well enough. Supper was provided
with stuff from the store, and there
was plenty of music by natives.
Mattresses and blankets were Sc
cured and the Guest House was
not a bad hotel, Prof. Richards
and Henry Warehouse conducted
special service at the Y. M. c. A.,
urging upon the people CO operation
and mutual helpfulness in their af-
fairs. Many arose and pledged eff
fort in this direction. In the morn
