Adventure Of Man
In a Capsized
Boat.

On last Monday morning a South Sea
Islander named Tagnimate. n resident
Of the South Sea Island colony at La
haina went out alone in "A sail boat,
fishing. During the afternoon while off
the Island of Lanai a sudden squall
capsized his boat. with difficulty he
righted his boat, but found himself
without oars, sail or mast. A strong
current was running and by midnight
he was near the coast # Kahoolawe
A counter current then caught the boat
and by o'clock on Tuesday morning
had brought It back to a point opposite
Lau- u-niu-poko on the Maui coast, near
| Olowalu.
From this point Tagnimate thought
of either swimming ashore, or swim
ming and pushing his boat to the
beach, but the appearance of a number
of sharks IN the vicinity made the plan
too risky. In the meantime his friends
In the South Sea Island village had be-
come alarmed at his non return. and
word was sent along the Maui coast
to look out for the missing man. Short
ly after daylight on Tuesday morning
an Olowalu fisherman saw the boat
adrift far out at sea, and put off in
his canoe. Tagnimate's sail boat was
taken in tow and carried back to the
village, where he was received with
great demonstrations of joy by the ex-
cited villagcrs.-Maui News.
