from each precinct; while on Hawaii
and Oahu, where there are two repre-

committees each nominate representa-

The man was rescued and taken
ashore, only to be landed in police

members of the party landed in a small

of, this sometimes formidable undertak-
ing was easily accomplished.
After the supplies, guns, ammunition
and fishing tackle had been landed,
breakfast was partaken of, and fishing,
shooting and exploring became the Or

The men with the guns descended in

Jack Young states that a few months
ago he and some friends killed eight
rabbits on the island, shooting some and
digging others out of their holes and
then dispatching them with sticks. On
this occasion the air was blackened
with the gyrations of screaming birds,

+ There is apparently nothing but dried
grass for the rabbits to subsist upon,
gand as there is no water on the island
the animals must rely solely upon the
dew for moisture.
The rabbits are the English bunnies
with the exception that they are a lit
tie larger. They are distinct from the
jack rabbit and hare in that they have
shorter ears and burrow in the ground
instead of sleeping in forms.
The presence of b1eached bones in
quantities in the crater spoke eloquently
of the great sickness above referred to.

Rabbit Island is SO called because
many years ago a colony of rabbits
was turned loose on the island. They

in a few years literally overrun with
the rodents, and shooting parties visit
