One Mans Work.


was sent yesterday to the other side .
of the island with dispatches. De
livering his message he started home
wards. Near Makapuu point he dis
cerned three natives, who deserving
him sought shelter in the brush at
the roadside. Closing up on the hid
ing place, Reuken discharged a shot
from his Winchester aud called on
the natives to appear. No second
request was necessary, they present
cd themselves, as meek as lambs
They we're footsore and weary and
travel-stained. They acknowledged
being deserters from the insurgent
ranks, so the captor escorted them
to Kaneohe Jail where they were
locked up. Reuken then continued
his journey towards Honolulu and
soon after entering the Nuuanu road
via the Pail saw by the aid OF the
moonlight Git now being p. M four
forms, two of which disappeared
from view in the brush. The other
two we're discovered to be OF natives
and a halt was called to them, which
they obeyed. A shot into the brush
by Renken quickly brought forth
the two other natives who had hid
den and all four quietly surrendered
and were marched toward town.
Very slow was the progress, as the
natives were much exhausted, having
tramped the distance from the Pa.
lolo valley to the point of capture
without rest or refreshment. They
| told a tale of visit to a relative, but
on examination at the station one
| forgotten cartridge was discovered
in the pocket OF one who, nonpluss-
ed by the discovery, opened out the
truth and stated that the four were
deserters from the ranks Of Wilcox
they we're locked up and Renken
was congratulated on his successful
single handed capture OF seven OF
the enemy.
