We left Kelakekua for the flow at 1884
o'clock, taking a chatting dish, provi-
sions and blankets. We did not get
to where we camped for the night until
five o'clock. We figure that it is SO or
81 miles from here. The last part Of
the road is over old flows and very
hard travelling and we all got very
tired and began to wonder if there was
any flow anyway. We could not see
a sign of it until we got almost there
and had not supposed it was so far,
The Aungsts had been there the night
before and staid over so when we
reached their camp we stopped and
settled our things for the night
The first flow was about six miles
beyond but we could not go to it for
a second flow was coming down so
fast this side of it that we were afraid
of being cut off We walked on about
half a mile and stood on the road
watching the lava as it came It
flows over an old flow but there were
scattered trees that were constantly

first got there it was about half mile
above the road and we were fascinated
with watching the wall of fire as it
crept along. The end of it had the ap-
peaUuce of a-a Instead of running
like water as they said the flow did
the night before it seemed like an inn
mense wall of red hot stones pushing
along. Those at the top would keep
rolling down and there was the con-
stant clink and rattle Of stones but not
much other noise
We could see this red hot serpent
for miles up the mountain. I should
say fifteen or twenty miles but in
some places it seemed to be running
i'm waves like water. 1t was almost
as light as day all around us. After
watching it for sometime we went back
to the camp for some supper and miss
seeing it cross the road which they say
was a great sight They say it took
sudden rush just then and went
rushing across in a red hot wall about
fifteen feet high covering telephone
posts and wire as It went When we
got back to the scene the road where
we had stood was covered twenty or

A record was this morning establish
ed for outgoing passengers on local
boats. Drawn to Hawaii by the lava
flows of Mauna Loa, over TWO hundred,
23S to be exact, men and women de-
parted in the Inter-Island steamships
Mauna Loa and Kinau on special ex-
cursions to view the volcanic activity.
The Mauna Loa, getting away prompt
ly at 10 o'clock, carried IS passengers,
according to the company's list, al
though there are probably thirty or
forty more aboard who are taking
their chances in regard to sleeping ac-
commodations and whose names, in the
rush, although they had, of course, the
price Of their fares, did not get on the
official list. At 1O:30 o'clock the S. S.
Kinau left the wharf with $50 persons
on her deck.
The occasion Of the departure of
these boats was made an event by the
who gathered on the wharves
to wish their departing friends a merry
time and a good view of the lava flows
Among the wharf crowds there were
some who had desired and intended to

Did Brooks And

They have an American Judge of the

letter received by c. K. Motley by the
Korea is correct
The letter is from H. A. Heen, Not
ley's son-in-law, who was admitted to
the bar here and went to Shanghai a
few months ago with the intention of
practicing law there. He writes to his
father-in-law that the new judge Of the
American Consular court lately order
ed all lawyers practicing before his
court to come up for a re-examination
to practice. Heen says that Lorrin An
drews and F. M. Brooks, who were
formerly practiclng attorneys in Ho-
nolulu and have been practicing for
quite a while in Shanghai and before
this particular court with much sue
cess, went up for the examination
AND THEY BOTH FAILED.
That is, Heen in his letter to Not
ley says they did.

Perhaps it does that when it flows more

the second one as well.

nation shortly and he feels that unless
he studies very hard he will not be
able to pass the examination.
AS Andrews has been Attorney Gen
eral of Hawaii and has been admitted
to the Supreme Court OF the United
States and the Supreme Court of New
York and Hawaii, and Brooks has been
admitted to the Supreme Court of sew
eral states and territories, it would
seem either that the American Consul
lar court of Shanghai is very exacting,
or that Heen is in error.

The stream of lava which is flow

sided considerably yesterday, has
broken out anew. The Manuka flow
has greatly increased.
Many visitors are going to the
scene of the outbreaks. There are
numerous excursions starting and

Surveyor Baldwin left Hilo to-
day to survey and make measure

Practically no damage has been
done so far, as the lava is flowing
over worthless land.
