the stream bottom to find q place to
spend the night
Suddenly ! heard a sound as OF a
landslide followed by cries that Miss
Henry had fallen. ] ran back and
plunged into the pool where heard
the rocks falling, but IL was only
waist deep and no body could be
found. Then | stood over q fall fif.

| searched the bottom of pool OF
water that was over my head, ada
cent to the other pool and satisfied
myself that she was not anywhere in
the water. / climbed back over the
cataract and found her on the rocks
beside cliff at the waters edge.
Miss Henry Unconscious.
Miss Henry was unconscious. Rocks
were falling about as and / tried to
carry her upstream but could not.
She had come TO by this time and as
| could not lift her over the. cliff, ]
was forced to stand over her and
take the rocks on my back Luckily
most of them jumped over US into
the pool and ! called out to the
ithers to advance as soon as possible
but to be careful on account of the
rocks.
] called to Robinson to get down
as soon as possible but he replied
that there was a straight drop of ten
feet and he could see no way to make
1t. In order to get him down, / yelled
for him to let 90 and come-and he
had the nerve to do It. Jumping and
sliding, we got safely to the bottom
and together we lifted Miss Henry
and carried her up the stream bed
until we reached a safe place to spend
the night.
Here we wrapped her IN our coats
and shirts and called to Nelson and
Miss Stambaugh to stay where they
were. They climbed out on q tree
trunk projecting from the edge of the
cliff, where they sat all night.
We made Miss Henry as comfortable
as possible and in the early morning
moved here to a safer place.
Sunday-When we called for the 9TH
ers to come down, they replied that
they could not make the descent, so
We told them to climb back onto the
ridge and try to get back to the sea.
Miss Henry had three sbad scalp
wounds and suffered from bruises,
shock and loss of blood. so after hold
ing conference, it was decided to
leave Robinson with her and to 20
down stream and try to find way
out
One hundred yards below we came
to another high waterfall that WAS
impossible to get around. so-we started
back and tried to climb out of the
canon. After a hard climb, we got to
the top of the ridge and started up
this end in order to make our way to
the upper ridge aud back to the old
Punaluu trail
Finally Get Bearings.
We soon met Nelson and Miss Stam-
baugh, who had succeeded In climbing
out of the valley onto the ridge. and
together we climbed all afternoon and
finally reached a high point on the
main ridge Of the Koolau mountains.
From here we could see the shore
line of Oahu, Pearl Harbor, BARRIERS
Point and Kahuku, and found that we
were completely turned around and had
been going in the wrong direction all
afternoon.
We started to work back along the
ridge until darkness fell We then
found a place of vantage and built a
little shelter of branches and fern
leaves and spent the night there.
MoNDAY-After cold, wet night.
during which we sunered intensely on
account of the dampness and sogginess
of the ground. we started back to the
main ridge about s. o'clock Our idea
was to work towards the Punaluu trail.
but it was so misty and rainy that we
could see little ahead and so we went
back to the shelter. On arrival, we
proceeded to make the shelter as
storm proof as possible; we had drink
ing water and knew about where we
were and spent the rest of the day in
eating what fern roots and berries we
could find. 1t was nearly as cold Mon
day night as Tuesday night, and we
had little rest.
TUESDAY-When the clouds and
mist had driven away sufficiently for
us to see ahead of us, we started for
the trail again. By following asuc-
cession of winding ridges, we judged
that we would reach the trail in few
hours. 1t was IL o'clock when we
started We felt no danger for our.
selves. but were anxious for Miss
Henry. whom we had left lying help
less at the foot of the second wateRl
fall back in the valley.
Meet Rescuers.
At o'clock in the afternoon we met
Mr. Blaeow. John Waterhouse and Dr.
Scudder. We were delighted to meet
them. They gave US food and relieved
our fears for Miss Henry somewhat
