LIHUE AND NAWILIWILI
PROBABLY WORST HURT
Debris Blocks Swollen Stream Near Landing
And A Long Stretch OF Road Is Cut
Away Japanese Seizes Live Wire And
Is Killed---Two Boys Drowned

After four days of heavy, inter-
mittent showers, an unusually
severe rainstorm broke over the
entire eastern and southern sides
of Kauai earlv Saturday morning,
tapering off, with more or less vol
ume toward Waimea; and conclud-
ed in the evening with a flood, the
like of which has seldom been ex-
perienced on this island. From
about o'clock in the evening to
nearly IL the water literally pour
ed down flooding the entire coun-
try, making rivers of small streams
and turning low places into lakes.
Travel everywhere was ali impos-
sHjility and people we're forced TO
remain at home or wherever they
happened to be during the four
hours of the deluge.
VICTIMS OF FLOOD
There were three human victims
of the food. The first, a Japanese,
was killed by live wire which
shad fallen into the street at Nawi
Twill. The other two were Chinese
boys, aged 4 and Is. who were
caught in the flood at Anahola and
drowned.
THE STORMS BEGINNING
1t IS hard to say when the storm
had its beginning. Rain had been
falling every day for a week or
more, but OH Wednesday its sever
ity greatly increased.
Saturday morning at the regular
reading hour the rain gauge of the
Lihue plantation showed only 90
of an inch-which was lighter than
on several previous days and look
ed hopeful. Then the real rain be-
gan. At 4:3O that afternoon the
gauge showed 4.lO inches Imme-
diately after that there was a let-up
in he downpour a I'D signs OF
clearing appeared. But this was
= not for long. About 7 clock, as
stated above, t h flood started.
At the regular reading hour Sun
day morning h e I,ihue gauge
showed l0.45 inches, making al
most / 5 inches for the twentY.four
hours, and making a total of 10
inches since the preceding Wednes-
day.
1t will be several days before
the actual losses to Lihue planta-
ton will be known. The reservoir
above Wailua, holding from 900,
900 to 2,OOO,O 900 gallons, was
washed out and will have to be re-
built. Flumes in numerous places
were DIOSSll anu "dSl1N OuNs
Probably the heaviest COR, at
any rate, the most Disappointing
happening was in the sweeping
out of about l3O acres Can entire
feld) OF young cane on the hillside
m9kai of the hospital. This field
Id a been prepared with great care
and was thought to be protected
. from just what happened bv al
system of bitches. The flood swept
it clean of its soil taking the young
cane, of course, with it. From the
look of things it is doubtful that
the field can be placed in conGi-
ton again, unless it be at very
great expense, The destroyed field
runs for about two miles along the
slopes of the hills, and is three TO
four hundred yards wide.

rainfall was the heaviest in the his
