Judd, an invited guest. made an inter-
esting trip to Kahoolawe and Mookini
this past week. Leaving Lahaina
Wednesday morning at quarter OF
five, after a three hours sail, the
party anchored off Mookifii as their
first stopping place. Swimming ashore
from the boat they spent two hours
wandering over the little island,
which is horseshoe in shape, with Ike
the entrance to the little harbor OPEN
ing out toward MacGregor's landing
on Maui. After going about the in.
teresting small island, which is the
.op of q crater, the bay OF which is
filled with a great variety OF fish,,
the party found that they could do
no work on either shells or botany,
for there were no materials to work
en-, so they set sail again and at noon
landed at Kahoolawe Wednesday,,
Thursday and Friday were spent
studying the shells, only few Of
which they were able to find be-
cause so much of the island is only
barren waste. Little new work,
too, could be done along botanical
lines. The island afforded scant ma
terial. A part of the last day was
spent in hunting and some game in
the shape of wild goats was secured.
At the start of the hunt, ABOUT nine
in the morning, serious accident
occurred to Mr. judd
Mule is Independent.
The mule he was given was used
enough to its owner, but when a
stranger tried to get ride the mule
had other intentions than giving him
an easy seat. When one foot was in /
the stirrup, the mule began 20 act up. |
Mr.. Judd held on for q little and
nearly succeeded in getting his other |
foot over the back of the animal and !
SO get a mount, but the mule, with
terrible jerk and then lunge, threw !
Mr.. Judd up in the air and upon
pile of loose stones The fall was on
the elbow and head, and for mo-
ment the body of the thrown man laid
as if he were dead. The head was
bleeding terribly. He could not lift I
himself, the blow was so stunning and /
the pain was so intense. lie and his
companions feared the arm was brok-
en-, or the shoulder thrown out OF !
joint The nerve was completely par
alyzed, so he himself could not tell
how severe the injury until the badly /
bruised arm and shoulder we're all
gone over by his friends 1t was
found that there were no bones brok-
en-; the pain was excrutiating, and al
though the bleeding from the head
near the temple was quickly stopped (
by the application of fee which thel
party had fortunately brought with I
them, yet there was no way to stopl
the pain. Mr. Judd had to spend the
day lying in the tent, while the others
were off for the hunt. After they had
done all they could for him, nothing.s
more could be done, and he insistedt
that they have their fun and get what f
game they could. &
On Friday the trip was made back
TO Lahaina and by four o'clock Mr.. 4
Judd's bruises were looked after by IA
Dr. VIM. Osmers, who pronounced the
fall an unusually severe one, and the
