At Anahola the small bridge was
carried away, traffic being blocked.
Later there was an immense rush Of
water which carried away the Lew
bridge. Above the latter bridge was a
grove of trees, een grade sioping to-
ward the river This grove pulled up
by the roots and was washed down by
the torrent, carrying everything be-
fore 1t. The entire bridge and its
stone foundations were wiped away.
The bridge had span of so feet and
In the center was a trestle SO feet.
Only recently the bridge was raised
three feet to conform to the new road
grade, and it was regarded as being
very substantial.
The heavy rain at Kilauea was pre-
coded by thunder and lightning. There
was no wind. It was believed during
the night that Kilauea was hard hit,
but not much damage was done there.
About the same report was made from
Hanalei.
The crop of rice around Nawiliwili
is ruined and the loss will run into
big money.
The rain gauge at the Rice ranch,
Huleia, showed a fall Of Ia inches,
which was really slightly in excess of
that at Lihue; but on account of the
country being sparsely settled and
localities less exposed, the damage,
other than to crops, was small.

AT Koloa there was fall of Is

bridge on the next street was also
carried away.

damage was done to the new Grove

are now in course of completion.
Laval and homestead. -.
While the rain was heavy at Laval
and Homestead. the fall along the
road was lighter. Side reads in this
locality were rendered very bad.
There was considerable land-sliding
from the hills along the road.
McBryde and EleeIe. 1.. .....
McBryde, Eleele, Port Allen and Ha-
napepe were perhaps the highest hit
of any towns on the south side of the
island, although the fall of rain there
was heavy in places. Reservoirs were
left running over and the surplus
water was got off with difficulty, de-
spite the capacious drainage afforded
by the deep gulches and river
Makaweli and Waimea. 80.
Makaweli had a straight shoot of
five inches of rain, none of which was
needed, however At Waimea the fall
was about the same Much of the
district flooded by the river on Thurs
day was again covered over. but this
time the water came from the clouds
and not from the mountains.
