again found 1t more pleasant to
drop in the ear ON our tramp up the
long hiIl. sat down by the side OF
% cane field and awaited develop |
mcnts. My hopes were at last re-
warded. \ Japanese came along
with a wagon. lie protested as |
climbed into his wagon that his
horse was too tired. but | became
very ubtuse. remembered how
conveniently servants can feign ig-

not want to understand and | play
ed him at the same game Not wish
ing to use personal violence, he
plodded along and left me in pos
session of the rear end Of the wagon
with my feet dangling cOntentedly
over. This happg state of affairs
continued until we came within four
miles of Wahiawa, when the Jap
turned off the road and arrived at
his destination
Again found myself afoot. There
seemed no chance of further lifts,
and so I trundled on. Two miles }
made in comparative comfort; one
mile was painful. and the last mile
was almost impossible. ..

Gus tramp and | was satisfied. II Is

Of the bOuntiful repast Of the noted
Wahiawa caravansary. Few places
in the islands set as good table,
and none provide better for the COM
fort OF visitors to the Pineapple City.
In the afternoon, my feet only be-
ing disabled, went with my COM
lads for a swim in the reservoir.
Later our well-meaning host en-
ticed us into riding in his gasoline
! launch around the reservoir. In al
lowing ourselves to be thus inveigled

? came entangled in mass OF the
