tlSnefmen on tne plaCld SnOre OF
Hilo bay, as his canoe buried itself
in the black, soft sand. The dragon
however had a little the "drop" on
him, the cave was nearly filled with
water, the drowning of his mama
was very imminent, not the
shadows shadow of a second was
to be lost, or it might never be
found again, so with one StupendouS
bound Maui thrust his warclub in
the damned stream making huge
hole down which the waters rushed
like lightning, and his mother was
saved. History hasn't told me yet
whether he did the dragon up or
the dragon did him up, or whether
there was any fight, or it was called
off, or the dragon ran away; but
the hole is there somewhere to
prove the truth of this story: Puka
Maui, the "Natural bridge"
When the Bard finished this
graphic description, great was the
eNcitation of the RagSey gang, and
with a RagSey yell they vowed to
find that cave and bridge with their
heaven knows what of curioSitieS,
or spend all their energies in the
attempt.
Lunch followed this, then a
picture of ODE Gang" by the
kodak find in easy costume, and
the search. About o-Io of their
"habillymentS" were left to be dried
by the sun, as there were no police
men around to object. Along they
sped over the rugged lava by the
banks of the crystal river, dancing
like gay Bohemians, singing and
laughing, whirling and gliding: like
pu the RagseyS. Prolific verdure
bOrdered the rivers banks: the
chaSte forest, rugged and unkempt,
very uncivilized indeed, with little
variation however in forestry, where
ever you looked being OhiaS, ohias
and ohiaS, with the ieie vine cling
my tenaciouSly and lovingly around
them, and ferns and ferns and
ferns, with occasionally a huge
leaved banana, and here and there
a few shy little flowers looking lone
some and afraid amidst 50 over
Whemling an array of greatness.
Half a mile or 50 along the rugged
banks brought us to a waterfall
about 50 feet high; three of us got
above it along a forest trail tfor
even in this out of the way place
we found a trail and taro planted
in little patcheS) whilst Momona
and the Bard braVed its perpendi-
Cuiar sides. On again "aS merry
as a robin when he trillS his lay"
over the Sun-Smitten lava. 1t is
cool now, the sun is hidden bV
clouds, though he is smiling over
Hilo, plainly visible from the Rag
sey Falls. Another little fall OBJ
StructS our vision and our path
likewise, and there is no getting
around it, and the man who cannot
swim gets left; but the RagSeyS
swim call same duck" so they
soon tloated over the 50 or 90 feet
of very cold aqua, kodak tiend look
ing as though he was posing for a
living picture, endeaVoring to keep
his Internal machine out of the
water. The walls of this miniature
precipice were soon scaled and left
behind-with the dog who couldn't
climb them. And now another fall
- MOmona on the rocks, to the
slight damage of his anatomy!
Still on and on for half a mile
or so, and a very difficult climb,
but we all got there, and after en-
cOuntering another of these OBJ
StructiOnS which ObScured a sight of
something that was sure to be
intensely interesting beyond, we
felt it was time to return.
