friends. This request was granted, and
when there were about twen,y-one
people in the boats the signal was
given and the boats started OF FOR
the shore.
After the boats had returned to the
steamer the Ke Au Hou sailed for Ha-
wall. No sooner had she gotten out
to sea, however, than she ran into a
gale, the force of which was something
very unusual for these ATTITUDES. The
immigrants then forgot everything
. but the terrible condition OF the ele-
ments-no complaints were heard con-
corning food or anything else. They
were far too sick to think of anything
except hanging ON to the steamer as
best they might, and trying to get
somewhere where they would not be
drenched by every wave which swept
over the vessel.
/ On the morning of the 18th, when
| Honokaa was reached, after as rough
a trip as the Ke Au Hou ever expe-
rienced, such a swell existed that it
would have been foolish to attempt to
lower any boats. After several hours
of waiting, however. the sea became
less violent, and the boats were lower
ed and all of the remaining immigrants
were landed without any harm to any
body.
The Ke Au Hou then proceeded to
Hilo, after which she went to Waipio.
1t took her nearly forty hours to make
the trip on account of the fearful
weather which she encountered. There
was smoother water at Waipio, but
there the steamer was weatherbound,
and things began to get serious on the
vessel in the matter of provisions. FL
nally the Iwalani helped the crew of
the Ke Au Hou out by giving them a
supply of food.
An attempt was made on Thursday
last to load sugar aboard the Ke Au
Hou at Waipio, but it was found to be
impossible on account of the roughness
of the sea, and it was given up.
On Friday last the officers OF the Ke
Au Hou, being anxious to return to
Honolulu, lay in wait for the Clau-
dine, and, when she came along, man
aged to get aboard of her by means OF
some wonderful work IN the manage
: / ment of one of the Ke Au Hou's
boats
| They arrived in town on Saturday
after an absence of ten days.
