King. Along the Heeia beach we
ran again by the side of the ocean,
this time, however, there was barely
road-room. The little sea-animals,
commonly called Portuguese memo
war were swapping and cracking
under the tires of the neAvy ma

The first hour of the trip was gone.
The big White steamer came up
behind us along here and Dillon
turned aside to let it pass. Waikane
was the next town that we passed,
and as we came out on the far side
we almost ran over DR.. Pratt, was

Il camera.
The car had been behaving splen-
didly all the trip, and we were feel
ing jubilant. The engines chugged
away gleefully, and it looked as II
nothing could stop us until we
reached the first checkIng-in place.
1t is the unexpected that always hap

ton with regard to us.
We were just crossing a little
bridge when Crack! Siss! Boom!-
the left hind tire sank fiat 1t was
no time until those lads, Dillon and
Comp" Schoening, were out on the
ground. lying on their backs, repair
ing. And they came pretty near
breaking record for fast work, too.
Twelve minutes was all the time IL
took to fix a mean and nasty blow
out Quinn and Jordan both passed
us while we were at work. or
course, we would never have had the
tire repaired so quickly had it not
been for the noble work of Jerry at
the pumps.
At 1888 we were again on the
road, in our proper place this time,
so we had lost nothing by the stop.
On and on spe- the Buick, past the
Kahana beach, past the Koolau rail-
road, past Punaluu, past the country
homes of J. b. Castle and J. p. Cooke,
past the Mormon settlement with its
long stretches of cane-helds, - on
and on, until we finally pulled into
kahuku and were checked in by G.
G. Kinney at 1:47.
At four minutes to TWO we pulled
out again, with Lewis IN his run>

Koolau railroad flew past and they
gave us the official salute OF toots

they tried to dump the writer of.
Nothing doing. Along the sea again
we ran, and IA beautiful sea and surf

the rocks, hurting spray high in the

Hermit Jacks" palatial residence
was the point of interest that we left
behind, and just beyond this another
train, four coaches long, passed us
going in the same direction We
iidn't dare race for fear OF an acct

| Haleiwa was clear sailing. There
! were three cars ahead OF us and two
more in sight behind. We arrived at
the hotel at 1853, and still had oil,
gasoline, and water to burn.
DINNER HERE! NUF SEQ.
Learned that j. ID. Kennedy had
had "A smash-up with his big Win

Hard luck. Left HaleIwa at Ais.
Here's a riddle. Hawaiians have
dogs. Dogs bark at automobiles.
Poor doggie! Guess the answer.
The rest of the trip was some
grand speeding-up. We went past
