started down under his direction.
Miss Henry Falls.
at WIS about halfway down the
cliff that Miss Henry fell Her foot
slipped or the ground gave way under
her. we did not know which, but we
stood and watched her roll over and
over, utterly unable to cry ont or move
so Mortified were we. Finally she roll
ed out of sight in clump of trees and
brush, and then we screamed to Shaw
to 90 to her at once. We were sure
that she had been killed, and she would
have been but for the fact that the
cliff was not as perpendicular as ii
looked, but on a steep incline.
Badly Shaken Up.
"Shaw got to her in a couple of min.
utes and called up to us that she was
not dead, but badly shaken up and cut
in the head and forehead. Robinson
in the meantime had started down the
HILL slipping and sliding, and taking
great leaps from rock to rock as he
went. ! thought he might be killed at
any moment, but he landed safe at the
bottom and after moment yelled to
me to stay where | was, and look out
for Miss Stambaugh.
"We stood still as long as we could
and then found refuge in the branches
of tree that grew in such a way that
one big bough held us secure. When
ever we moved, however, we loosed
shower of stones and earth that slath-
cred down upon the trio at the bottom
From time to time we would yell to
them to ask how Miss Henry was, but
they could not hear us, although we
could hear them plainly. Every time
we yelled we moved and the dirt and
gravel would tumble upon them and
they would yell to us to keep still and
not pelt them with stones.
Soaked to Bone.
- SO at last, seeing there was nothing
else to do Miss Stambaugh and / sat
perfectly still and tried to keep each
other warm. 1 never knew it could
get SO cold in Hawaii, but it was rain
ing and we were soon soaked through
to the skin and most abominably hun
cry.
In the morning we would have tried
to get down, but on looking over the
cliff S face and remembering how stiff
we were / decided that it would be
better to attempt to climb to the top
of the pail and make a detour if possi-
BILE. We finally did this. In the mean
time Shaw had started down the val
ley looking for an outlet, and we met
him. This was Sunday morning remem-
ber and Were certainly wet, hungry
ani bedraggIed looking trio. Shaw told
us that Miss Henry was not badly hurt
and we discussed the best thing to do.
We decided to get out as soon as posi-
BILE and return with a party to get Miss
Henry and Robinson.
"lt was fierce tramping through
, those woods ana pretty soon the mists
began to come down upon us and it was
almost impossible to see where we were
going. At last, we struck trail and
started along it. We had not gone very
far when we realized that we were 90.
, ing in the wrong direction, We fol.
lowed it n bit farther, however, and
came out on ridge that gave us a
clear view of the country under the
mists. In the distance l spotted Ka
mku, and also saw that we mad been
very badly turned around.
"We could not forget Robinson and
Miss Henry so we turned back once
more. First thing we knew we really
were lost. All the rest of that morn.
ing we trailed along feeling worse and
worse. At least that was the way
felt and l guess the others did too.
Nearly All IN.
1t was about half-past three when
Shaw told me that he was about all
in. How much have you got lefti
he asked me and | told him, Mighty
little. +" During that time we had been
taking turns, Shaw and !, in breaking
path through the underground and
it was some job that, believe me, with
nothing but fern roots and ohelo ber.
ries to brace fellow up to the game.
"a little while after that Miss STAN.
baugh caved in ana confessed that she
was up a tree and could not go any
further until she had had a rest. That
was pretty bad, but l took the lead
for time and we managed to stumble
up on ridge where we hunted round
for time and found spring. There
we made a house of palm branches and
leaves that served to keep off little
of the rain, but not much, and there
we spent the night, shivering and chat.
tering and trying our best to keep warm
but not succeeding much.
Monday morning it looked bad
The clouds came down early and hid
everything. We started out, but soor
saw that we could do nothing and went
back to our hut, dug up some NOR,
fern roots and gathered in few NOR,
ohelo berries and drank as much water
as We could hold to stave off the hun
CRY pains. 1t was not so awfully cheer
fnl, but We managed to get through
with it.
