COLLEGE PROF.
LOST and found

/ 4 hidden trail and a dark night
were the two chief causes of PROBES
sor J. S. Donaghho of the College of
Hawaii being lost for five hours last
might in the Waolani valley, during
which time searching parties were
securing the surrounding ridges and
valleys in their effort to find him, and
which resulted in his arriving home
at II O'Clock little the worse for his
experience. "
Yesterday afternoon Professor Dom
4aghho went up the valley for, a hike,
, and On his way home he reached the
Lanihuli ridge at about O'Clock in
the evening and came. to the house
! near the upper end of the valley. He
thought that from that point it would
take him about three hours to arrive
at his home If he took the old trail,
and SO he started out once more
Darkness soon settled over the valley
and although Mr.. Donaghho had gone
over the trail many times before in
the daytime, he soon lost it, due to
the fact that it was partly overgrown
! with lantana and ferns.
Tie then left the trail and tried to
lpi1oW Iiue SITedEl, out the SOlQS was
so rough that he finally decided that
at the rate he was going it would take
him all night to get home.
He left the bed of the stream and
climbed up the ridge on the right and
after hunting around for short time
finally came upon the Alewa heights
trial. Following this, he arrived home
jrst in time to be informed that i
number of searching parties had gone
out in search of him few minutes be-
fore. In speaking about the matter
this afternoon, professor Donaghho
said that he knows the old trail about
as well as anybody could, and that he
once went over it in the middle of the
night, but the cause Of his bein glcst
/ for the short time was due to. the feet
/ that the trail WIS almost comDleteIv
covered over by foliage, and that It
could not be seen for any distance no
matter low bright the night might
happen to be.
