entine Klikiztat, on the coast of Ha-
wall island, has reached here after an
experience he will not soon forget, a
Honolulu letter to the New York Trib-

down cliff 1875 feet high, with the aid
of creepers and jutting rocks AS he
swung out, holding to a creeper, a
large centipede crawled from the vine
to his arm and toward his face. He
dared not let go the vine with his 9TH
er hand to try to knock it off, but as
the insect reached his shoulder he
brushed at it with his head. The CEN
tipede hit him, and in desperation
Johnson swung from the vine by one
hand and with the other killed the In
sect Then he climbed the rest OF the
way down as best he could.
