The principal sufferer was the Kea-

hola and Kealia. The engine went
down to Anahola with sugar yesterday
morning. The storm came up in the
afternoon and it soon was impossible
for the engine to return to Kealia. A
part of the track was washed away and
a considerable amount of the track
was covered with a quantity of earth
and stones. The railroad had to sus-

be clered.

Gilbert islanders
Sail For Home Today
GILBERT ISLAND COLONY ARRIVES ON KINAU TODAY
FROM LAHAINA, EAGER TO JOIN THE HONOLULU
CONTINGENT AND EMBARK ON S. S. ISLEWORTH
FOR THEIR NATIVE LAND IN SOUTH SEAS

Eighty-flve South Sea Islanders, all
of going to their native land, arrived
on the steamer Kinau this morning
from Lahaina. The entire colony of
South Sea Island people on Maui res
ponded to the opportunity and bundled
their effects together on the shortest
kind of notice and embarked early this
morning for Honolulu to take the s.
S. Isleworth for the Gilbert Islands
this afternoon.
Through the energy of Rev. Bingham
and the assistance of ]. T. Arundel
the assistant chairman of the Pacific
Islands Exploration Company Ltd, and
British Consul Hoare, the departure of
the various South Sea Island residents
of the Hawaiian Islands for their ma
tive land is assured The entire crowd
will depart this afternoon about 8
o'clock on the S. S. Isleworth for Ia
rawa of the Gilbert island group.
The complete success of the eXpedi-
ton was not assured however until the
steamer Kinau arrived this morning
with the remaining members of the
colony aboard. Last Thursday after
noon Charles Isaiah a Gilbert Island
preacher was dispatched on the steam
er Kaiulani by Rev. Bingham to La
haina for the purpose of acquainting
the members of the South Sea colony
with the opportunity of returning home
on the Isleworth. He arrived at La
haina Fiday morning and by noon,
every man woman and child of the
South Sea Island colony had signified
their intention of joining the exodus
from Hawaii.
The crowd had but a short time in
which to get their property packed up.

of the colony were very busy getting
their effects together. Two hours were
occupied by them embarking on the
Kinau. While there was naturally
great satisfaction among the crowd
over going to their native land, still
there were many expressions of grief
at parting from friends and acquaint-
ances at Lahaina.
The Kinau was met at the wharf this
morning by British Consul Hoare and
Rev. Bingham. Those gentlemen were
kept very busy segregating all of the
members of the Lahaina colony. But
a small percentage of the crowd have
any means. The others are dependant
on the bounty of their relatives or
friends or else the generosity of the
public. Nineteen members of the La
haina contingent have on deposit with
the Bishop Savings Bank $S56.7O The
largest amount owned by any one per-
son is $257.25 and the smallest $6.05.
Rev. Bingham was kept very busy
comforting with them regarding the
need of contributing pro rata toward
the expense of their companions de-
parting for home. About $500 of the
$1,000 required by the steamship peo-
pie was expected to be donated by the
Lahaina people. Rev. Bingham has
been busy consulting with the monied
men of the colony regarding the rails
ing of this amount. Even if the money
is not raised the necessary $1,000 has
been lodged and the tribe can all de-
part this afternoon.
Exactly 1876 people will compose the
party. The Kalihi people are just as
anxious to depart as the others from
Maui and are eagerly locking to the
vessel to get aboard. Each member
of the party provides their own rice
and food and clothing for the voyage

HILO, October 16.-With. the roar Of
q tempest at sea, the crater at Mauna
Loa greeted the first visitors who stood
on the mountain top last Tuesday night
and looked down upon the lake of fire.
The roar and pounding of a heavy surf
came from the deep cavernous pit of
Mokuaweoweo. 1t was the dashing of
a score of fire geysers. They shot their
giant columns from two to six hundred
feet in height, the whole enormous
weight of uphurled lava, red hot
boulders and shrapnel falling back
again into the seething, white hot lake,
with a rumble and Il crash tkas was
appalling.
The Hilo party arrived at the brink
of the volcano Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. There We're thirteen in the
party. Each man had his horse or
mule, and two pack animals carried
blankets and water and other neces-
saries for the company. The csLyaI-
