Cold Fun for Island Girl.
Miss Alice Bond writes from Ober.
lin Conservatory:
I'VE are having warmer weather
now and I am glad Of it, even though
have enjoyed the winter.
81 think I've had the most fun this
winter, coasting. Oberlin is so fiat
that it's hard to find any place to
coast, but there is one little slope
down by the arboretum where we go,
and that is great fun. ! can just i'm
agine the fun, if ssome OF the kohala
hills could be transferred over here.
1--WE tried skating twice and intend
to really learn how before ! go back
that is, if ! don't break my neck
trying.
at seems so good to see Mrs Birds
eye and Charles, every now and then
! met them down town the other day
and Charles told me first thing that
he was going to school now.
Last night we went out for a bob
sled ride, the whole house. We start
ed out at five o'clock and came in at
seven o'clock for supper, and We GER
tainly were a hungry crowd.
Aunt Ruth Hoppin surprised me
the other day and it was so good to
see her Miss Fairchild, who taught
at Kamehameha last year, lives here
in Oberlin and it was good to hear
her talk Honolulu with Aunt Ruth.
Lost in Kohala.
While Kohala people were comfort
able and happy in their homes, an old
blind Samoan, Pekelo, was wandering
Ihelplessly from road to canefeld, and
amid labyrinths of cane rows in weak
ness and starvation and cold to his
death
The old man, who worked for TWEEN
ty years on Union Mill plantation, but
who, since becoming blind some five
or six years ago. has lived in the lit
tie house near the corner of the I'm
ion Mill and government road, has
been under the care of Mrs. McDou-
gall, doing little wedding planting
a tree or two. The banana trees on
the McDougall property are his only
monument.
Three weeks ago he is supposed to
have left his home to visit some
friend. He was missed from the Nor.
mon church at Honomakau, at which
he was a regular attendant, and in.
quiries were made.
Kali, Club Stable driver, found his
trail and followed it up the road tc
the Homesteads, past the house OF
Mr. II. c. Davies. Soon after this il
G wandered into the canefield and was
;. lost. All subsequent efforts to trace
o Pekelo have failed, and the friends o
the old man reluctantly give him VI
II for dead.
, There is deep touch of pathos il
, the mysterious passing away of tn,
o familiar old blind man. Let us hop,
Il that his sightless eyes now see tn,
glorious light of better world.
