MAUI, Aug. l. During Saturday
morning, the 25th of July, Nahalehau,
a Wailuku native, was killed by shark
while fishing off the Kahului shore. At
10 O'Clock that morning he was seen
going through the seaport village with
a small spear in his hand, which be-
tokened that he was about to fish for
squid At 1920 o'clock his dead body
was found on the beach. 1t is said that
while spearing fish not far from the
shore his foot was so cruelty bitten by
a shark that he died from exhaustion
caused by loss of blood just as he had
managed to drag himself on to the
sand out of reach of the water. His
right foot was badly injured at the in
step and on the side, and the bones
were crushed.
At the coroner's inquest held during
the same afternoon in Kahului Jail the
verdict rendered was that Nahalehau
came to his death from a wound in
fiicted by a powerful fish, probably a
shark, which caused severe hemorrha
ges, exhaustion, etc."
Nahalehau was a married man, 35
years of age and was said to have been
a kahuna.
