break in the wall OF the stream oc-
Cured when it did, relieving Kauma.ka-
pill of vast amount OF water.
A Chinese priest in the JOSS House
kept up a service all during the food.
He declared that he would not leave
the building until his relief came.

Theheavy barge which struck against
the Beretania street bridge and threat
ened the structure is the property Of
a Chinaman who had been using II
above in some building operations.
Mr.. Rowell was proud of the fact
that the bridges resisted all onslaughts.
The only damage was to the structure
spanning the stream al Beretania.
This was caused by the impact of the
barge.
The police kept the bridges clear,
allowing the use of them only by peo-
pie who had business in crossing To
the reporters, Chas. Chillingsworth re-
marked that they were welcome to take
their chances.
There was a sink hole at the foot
of Hotel street in which several horses
were mired. In each instance the ami
mails had to be unhitched. The Misses
Parker were in one of the rigs which
has this mishap.
While the crowds were enormous,
hundreds of people came an hour after
the flood had commenced to recede.
The storm effect reports were so start
ling that at first they were not general
ly accredited about town.
The first reports were that an even
dozen people had lost their lives. Then
it was two and finally but the one.
Even late last night number of in
telligence Chinese insisted that TWO
Chinese children had persisted.
A member of the Legislature said
last evening that he proposed to pro-
pound" some questions regarding the
engineering" of the change in the
course of the stream. The largest body
of water was in the old river bed, near
Kaumakapili.
Suggestions of Venice were decided
ly not poetical. There was both a
difference and distinction. Some Of the
natives who walked away from their
doors in the morning and had 10 be
rowed to them at in the afternoon
could never be convinced that there
was such a place as Venice.
Sam Marks and Frank Saunders
who are trying to arrange for the
opening of Wilson's circus here on
April 2 are pretty well discouraged by
the storm and the seige of wet wealth

son of the Brito formerly in the gro
Gerry business at the corner OF King
and Smith streets. The boy, aged II,
was returning to school from his home
and approached the flood from Vine
yard street. He undertook to cross
the stream on a narrow board path.
When in the middle he became dizzy,
lost his balance and with scream fell
into the water. He had barely touched
the muddy waves when VIM. Morris,
Hawaiian boy, jumped. Morris is more
than half grown, and is strong and
athletic. In a few seconds he had
brought little Brito to the slippery
bank. Brito was taken at once TO the
College. DR.. c. B. Woods happened
TO be in the locality and gave the boy

GENERAL RESCUE WORK.
Every time there is a heavy rainfall
or an unusual shower reports come
from Kauamakapili, Aala and other
low districts along Nuuanu stream of
danger to houses and people. The
police always investigate, but up TO
yesterday have only reported assist
ance was not required. Capt. Robt.
Parker was sent to the wet districts
by Marshal Brown. The Captain after
a hasty survey of the situation lost no
time in informing his chief that mat
tiers were serious and in advising that
a wrecking detail be dispatched at
once. Boats were needed Immediately.
People were trying to move from their
houses, but those unable to swim were
shut in.
Marshal Brown took charge at once.
Very early in his work he met w. H.
Hoogs of Hustace & Co. Mr.. Hoogs,
on learning the facts at once placed
the entire drayage outfit of his firm at
the disposal of the police department
without charge. This offer was prompt
ly accepted. Big drays were called
from various jobs and loaded at once
with row boats. The use of shore
boats was freely granted by the boys
who are in passenger traffic on the
bay. Captain Potter Of the Alden
Besse sent a boat and an officer and
crew from his vessel. Captain Thomp-
son of the R. P Rithet did the same.
The captain of the H. B. Hyde did not
like to be troubled, but Mr.. Hogs
levied on him for boat
When the rescue fleet reached the
flooded district it found lots of work
TO do. Nearly all the people living on
the streams edge had been 10th to
leave their homes, but were forced first
to the verandas and then to the ground
by the water. Men and boys were
swimming about Women stood in the
water TO their armpits holding little
children aloft. The natives were GER
tain that they would be able TO get
out of the pilikia, but were neverthe-
less quite nervous The Chinese were
cowed - thoroughly frightened and
wholly hopeless. 1t was especially diff
ficult to handle the women of the race.
They chung TO their children and did
not want to leave their homes. Their
husbands had no direction of them.
A number of Chinese women were car
ried from houses by force.
Mr.. RoweI, Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, had the alarm early. He
was in command of big gang of men
engaged for the occasion and secured
ropes and tools. J. A .Magoon was
hard worker. Con Sterling and John
0uderkirk made effective efforts in the
saving of life and property. The po-
Iicemen and the boat boys under the
command of Marshal Brown and Cap
tain Parker seemed never to weary.
NOT A CLOUDBURST.
After a few definite reports and loss
estimates on rainfall mauka had been
received the cloudburst theory that had
at first been generally accepted was
quickly put aside The precipitation
at the Government Electric Light Sta
ton for the day was six inches and half
and all but about an inch and half
of this fell between IL and 1890 The

fall was almost as heavy in all parts
of Nuuanu valley well into town and
in all other valleys on either side of
Nuuanu the precipitation was heavier
than for many years, if not ahead of
any record that has been kept. The
fall right in the city was almost as
heavy as on Saturday afternoon last,
though there were a series of down
pours instead of one sharp shower.
None of the kamaainas with whom re-
porters for the Advertiser were able to
fetch up yesterday would undertake to
say that they recollected such rain
on Oahu. In the business part of town
Fort and Alakea streets were the worst.
Below Merchant on Fort the water was
on the sidewalks and almost in the
stores. The intersection of Alakea and
King had the lake that it always shows
when there is rain, but this time it
was deeper and bigger. The tram cars
ploughed gaily through it.
Kewalo and large portion of Ka-
kaako were inundated. There were
streams of water on Wilder Avenue,
Piikoi and Keeaumoku streets. The
rain in Punahou and Waikiki was very
heavy and residents were put to much
inconvenience.
The rainfall recorded at Eva was
PIT inches.

IN The OUTSKIRTS.

The bridge over Waikiki stream,
near Long Branch resort broke down
in the center, dropping piece of Tram
track. From that time on for several
hours the street railways passengers
on the Waikiki run had to be content
with a service to the bridge instead Of
to the park.
The Tram Company had to take it's
stock from the stables in Kalihi, near
Kamehameha school. All of the build
ings at the Kamehameha school are
on high ground and were not reached.
A number of residences in the locality
had water on the ground floor. Kalihi
stream was on the rampage. The water
was almost to the bridge. Antoine
Richards lives near by and had pre-
pared to move to the hills.
1t is only about ten days ago, that
VIM. Cummings, the road supervisor
had the Punchbowl flood safety ditch
cleaned out. That he did this saved
lots of property. In addition Mr.. Cum
mings sent gang of men to the ditch
yesterday to keep it open. 1t was run
ming full for about three hours.
The streams were very much swollen
in Kahauiki and Moanalua. Some
slight losses are reported from Moana-
