CHILDREN LOSE
LIVES IN STORM
ON BIG ISLAND
Mary and Joseph Haena
Drowned When Swept off
Horse Into Rising Stream

y
Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, Sept. 10.-Mary Haena and
Joseph Haena, son and daughter of
Joseph Haena, who IS in charge of
the mauka ditch above Mud lane, Ku-
kuihaele, were drowned Saturday
when they were swept down by the
flooded stream at ,Kapulena. The girl
was IA years old and the boy 10. From
the story of Deputy Sheriff Richard
of Honokaa, 1t appears that the child
rem left their grandparents home at
Kapulena and mounted on horse
went to visit their parents, who reside
In the John Baker house.
The children arrived safely at their
fathers home and spent Sunday there.
In the afternoon they said farewell to
their parents and, mounting a quiet
old horse, started on their trip back
to Kapuiena. That was the last seen
OF them alive and nothing was discoy-
cred Of their whereabouts until their
bodies were found lodged among the
rocks near the Kapulena bridge.
When the children left their parents
home the weather was fine, but during
the night heavy rain fell. The parents
did not worry about the children, as
they thought the youngsters had ar
rived at their grandparents home long
before the rain began to fall. Howev.
er, the grandparents, although slightly
worried when the children did not ar
rive at shutdown, thought that they had
remained for the night with their pa
rents. Nothing was known of the
double tragedy until Mrs. Makekau,
wife of Senator Makekau, was horri-
fled to hear from her. children, who
had gone out on Monday morning to
gather guayas, that they had seen the
body OF a boy in the gulch, near where
they were picking fruit. Some men
went to the gulch and there found the
body of Joseph Haena lodged between
some rocks The searchers then went
farther up stream and, about 500 feet
from where the boys body was found.
discovered the body Of the girl. Later
on the saddle was found about midway
between where the bodies of the girl
and boy were discovered. The dead
horse was found much higher up the
raging stream.
1t would seem that the children were
caught, in the heavy rain while on
their way home, and that when they
reached the crossing place in the
stream the waters were running high.
The children evidently urged the horse
to cross the stream and, when in the
middle. the animal was swept from
his legs and washed down the wild
torrent. The children may have been
thrown off at once when the horse
turned over. or they may have hung
on to the saddle till it broke adrift
from the horse. Then the little ones
were washed down to their death.
Mary and Joseph were universal ia.
vorites and we're particularly bright
pupils of the Kapulena school. Very
great sympathy is felt toward their
grieving parents and grandparents.
The funerab which took place on Tues
day. was one of the largest ever seen
in. the district. sI

One of the objects OF education is to
cultivate the mind to an appreciation of
the beauties of nature all about us, and
to raise it above the mere utilititarian
and mercenary pursuits of life. That
was the sentiment of the lecture by Mr..
u. w. Moon, Of philadelphia, before the
Parent-T Teachers meeting in the school
house last Monday evening. About
sixty were present, the largest number
ever, all of whom appreciated Ills ad-
drees.
He said we should have the spirit of
beauty in our homes if it be only beauti-
ful clean whitewash. The beautiful in
architecture, music, sculpture and paint
ing should be a part of the educational
life in which to rear our children. And
above all that beauty Of department,
courtesy, is q legal tender in all countries
under all circumstances if adorned with
the smile of sincerity.
He spoke of the English poet Percy
Bysshe Shelly (1792-lS22) who was term
ed the Sky Poet because of his great abil-
ity to w~ord-paint the things about us
in poetic beauty. The sky, the mount
ain, streams. air, birds, flowers and
odors were made beautiful by one who
suffered much sorrow and pain. He re-
cited Spelly "Garden, From THE Sensi-
tive Plant"
DIR. Moons lecture was the most aesth-
etic ever given in Penns Grove. It's
illumination Of the beautiful aroused the
latent minds in the High School to the
needed of some adornment to the dinpy
dirty walls. 1t is hoped that a responsive
chord was struck in the minds of the
Board of Education, as well rs the citi.
tens who heard it, and will arouse a
civic pride which will make the surround.
ing Of nj school, children more beauti.
full and more in accordance with the pride
taken in most home.
1t is but natural that Mr.. Moon adj
mires Shelley. the sky poet.
