HEROIC WOMAN SWIMMER
OF OLD HAWAIIAN DAYS

poor man, unprepared, was hanging to
a part Of the stern still above water,
while Mauae, who had held morning
prayers and conducted Sabbath ser
vices with the people in the forenoon,
now. in the water, called the natives
around and implored help from on
high. Having asked help from God,
they then looked about to see what
| they could do to help themselves. A
current was setting to the north, so
that none thought of swimming for
Hawaii Thompson could not swim
at all-he threw out an oar on which
he and his wife left. BY her aid and
the current, they proceeded toward
Kahoolawe. Monday morning he died.
and he landed in the forenoon with
the oar on Kahoclawe. A vigorous
young man seized the cover of the
hatchway for himself and little
brother. The boy died before daylight,
Monday, but the older one reached
Kahoolawe at or in the morning;
while a very slender youth, who had
been weakly, left the vessel without
any help but his skill in swimming,
and landed on the same shore before
morning.
=" 'Mauae and his wife took each a
covered bucket for a "mouo," and hav-
ing thrown away the contents, they
tied some of their garments around
them, and swan for KahooIawe. They
had three young men with them, who
disappeared, one after another. either
by drowning or going in different di-
rections. Some were in sight on Sab
bath. but during the night all disap-
peared and left them to pursue their
watery way alone. Monday morning
Kaluawahininuis bucket came to
pieces, and she swan without any
thing till afternoon, when Mauae be-
came too weak to proceed. They
stopped. she "lomied' him till he
was able to swim again. They now
went on till they had KahooIawe in
full view, but Mauae became more
feeble than before, so she took his
bucket. He held to the hair of her
head, and so she dragged him. but
soon his hand slipped, and she tried
in vain to rouse him even to such
an effort. She told him he must pray:
he commenced, but could utter only a
sentence or two. She then put his
arms around her neck, held them with
one hand. and made for the shore.

| Editor Advertiser: The following
article, found in an old scrapbook in
Hilo, was sent to Miss NJ. A Cham
| berlain, who thinks it may be of in
terest to your readers. The writers
name is not given:
by the politeness of Mr.. Thurston.
we have been favored with the fol-
lowing letter, containing an affecting
account of the loss of the S. I. schoon-
er Keola, embracing a touching record
of connubial love seldom, if ever, sur
passed. Faithfulness like that de-
scribed in the letter is something more
than the mere instinct of the savage.
It ennobles its possessor, if her skin
is dark, and renders her worthy of a

Lahaina, May q, 1910.
Dear Bro. Thurston: As the Kinau
is soon to sail for Oahu, I will write
few words You have heard, I sup
pose. the report of the loss of the
vessel Keola, as the report reached
here just as Mr.. Green was sailing
for Oahu. The same day that he sail
ed the persons who escaped arrived
here, and told US all the sad particu-
lars. You will be afflicted to learn
that our friend Mauae is among those
that are lost. AS his wife is among
the saved, and as they both swan
about twenty-five miles together be-
fore he died, we have q full account
of him to the last What is wonder
full beyond description is that his
wife carried him when he could no
longer swim himself and carried him
till after he was dead. She left him
when they were in less thar one-quar-
ter of a mile of the shore of Kahoo-
lave. There are supposed to have
been in all between thirty and forty
persons on board, only four of whom
have escaped. These are wife Mauae,
the wife Of Thompson, the two young
men who belonged to the vessel.
The following is d brief history
of this melancholy affair: The keola
left Lahaina for Kawaihae, Saturday
evening. May 9, in a somewhat Ieaky
condition, as all were aware by the
amount of pumping required. The
next day CSa bbath), after dinner. they
were in sight of Kahoolawe Point, /
which was not at very great dis
lance: nothing of Maui could be seen
but Kahaleakala, and Kahoolawe was
lost in the misty distance. The wind /
was strong. and as our young men
saw, the stone ballast rolled ever II

have been the immediate cause of the !
disaster. though as the vessel had /
been aground five times since she was i
examined. she might have been very /
weak. Her bows We're thrown so sud I
denly under, that it is supposed that /
