GIANT CONBER
Brings DEATH
AND bad INJURY

tki
One life sIuffed out in a moment
and four persons more or less seri-
tously injured. is the record of a ST
gantic comber that broke over Kaena
point on the windward side OF Oahu
late Saturday night John Nascimen-
to, a linotype operator for The Star
Eulletin is deadr his brother Abel S.
lEascimento, foreman OF The Star
Bulletin composing room. is at the
Queens Hospital suffering with a
compound fracture of the left leg and
decorations of the arms and body; and
other members of The party are laid
lip with contusions and cuts from the
knife-like coral.
Abel Naseimento, by far the most
severely injured of the party OF
fishermen, may be months on his
back, so serious are his injuries. AT
noon today he was reported at the
hospital, as resting quietly, and theI
physicians are in hope that they will
be able to care for the bones of his
fractured leg soon, as the swelling is
going down rapidly.
Vincent Trayers, another member
OF the unfortunate party; and the
brother of the dead man. Manuel Mas
cimento, started this, morning to head
the parties searching for the body.
there is very little hope, how
ever, that it will be recovered, as the
sea at the point where it was lost, is
yeritable cauldron, that boils about
the base of the cliff continually, and
nothing but a freak of the waves in
tossing the body onto some ledge
would bring it in reach OF the
searchers.
No arrangements have been made
for funeral services over the lost john
Nascimento. 1t is probable that the
I.usitana society, of which organiza-
ticn he was director, and The local
branch of the typographical union will
held special services in his memory.

The members of the party which

injuries are reported as being more
