| Mrs. Kearas did everything in her
power to keep her charges in hand but
could not do so in face Of the threats
Of physical violence and had the NOR
ti6cationo Of seeing the six shackled in
dividuals break from sthe room and
head for the blacksmith = shop, where
! they knocked each others shackles off
and then fed 70 the nountainside on
the waiaha side of the school
SUBSEQUENT investigation showed that
the steel shackles had been partly
fled through, evidently in anticipation
Of the outbreak, and that it took only
blow or two with hammer to break

As soon as johnson had got the re,
vOlver he jumped on a horse, and riding
mutineers. Themes, Wilson Mont
gOmery, 6. s. RoOrbach, James X. Ku-
oha and Alfred Kane, teachers and
guards, and several Of the residents of
Waialee went after the boys on foot.
Themes had the foresight to take
along box of cartridges which he
handed to johnson as soon as an oppor-
tunity presented itself, he having only
taken with him the shells which were
in the chambers of the revolver.
The path, led up a gulch and thence

stripped the rest Of the chase ard in
the course Of half an hour or so had
the fleeing boys in view. They were
punched all together and making the
best possible time.
Time and time again johnson was de-
layed by the tactics of the boys in
placing a wire fence between their pur-
, Suers and themselves, thereby gain
ing considerable time while the teacher
was tearing down the fierce in order to
allow his horse to get through. The
going in places was rough, aud several
| times Johnson was thrown from his
horse He stuck to the work in hand
! with grim determination, however,
ana soon his efforts were rewarded.
! The boys struck a patch Of country
| whefe there was no wire but fences
with bars instead. These obstacles did
not hinder johnson nearly as much a.
did the wire and he was soon on the
heels Of the scurrying crowd.
