japanese &C Fishing
A japanese fishing boat with four
men started out from kahuIui last
Tuesday 'morning on q fishing sxpe-
dition which did not prove very fruit
full. The KoHa winds were blowing
strongly from the South, but in spite
OF this fact. these brown men from
Japan we're bound TO get some FISH,
and consequently they started out in
full sail The boat went out. almost
flying through the water. and il did
not take very long before il was out
of sight
In the afternoon of the same day.
the fishing craft was seen away QUE
on the horizon. but without sail She
was trying 10 make for kahului. but
on account OF the wind. which was
blowing very strongly against them.
they did not make very much head
way.
After few hours had elapsed the
boat was adrift on the Waihee beach.
where with the assistance of few of
their eountrymen the fishermen man
aged to haul their boat into water. IL
was then very hard work before they
reached Kahuiui as everything seem
ed TO be against these ignorant fish
ermen. The boat reached the shores
of Kahului at about evening, but with
no fish. having spent an unpleasant
day in fighting the Kona winds. How
ever. the Japanese felt very happy
that they at least got home safe.
