LIHUE, Kauai, Aug. 15.-Twenty
one Honolulu boys arrived on the
Kinau Wednesday morning TO spend
two weeks camping on the beaches
of the Garden Isle, swimming in the
surf, hiking in the trails and noun

terest Most of the boys had never
seen Kauai except on the maps at
school. ..'..'"E 49,.
Eight of them got off at Nawiliwili
under the leadership of Boys Secre-
tary r. E. Lambert of the Honolulu
Y. N. C. A. and Ross Page, camp di.
rector, while the remaining number
continued on their voyage to Waimea
where they joined the Boy Scouts
camp at Poll Hale as the guests of Mr.,
Knudsen 81.
The Y. NJ. C. 4. boys were the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs w. H. Rice, Sr., and
w. H. Rice, Jr., at the Lihue hotel
until Wednesday noon, when they EN-,
barked on a large auto truck for
Haena, 40 miles away, but not until
they had been Joined by II Kauai boys
who had applied for membership in
the camp with Charles +. Loomis of
the Kauai Y. NJ. C. A.
The remainder of the first day in
camp was spent in getting acquainted,
setting up tents, building field oven
and in arranging supplies. The camp
site at Haena is the Haena school
grounds occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Booco, where the boys were permit
ted to camp through the courtesy of
the school authorities. .,.....
The following day was spent in Wis
iting the dry and wet caves on that
side Of the island, and the Honolulu
boys declared that they had never
even imagined caves so large and ro-
mantle and mysterious looking. These
boys feel that in these caves Kauai
has an attraction for tourists that
should be spread broadcast.
But their pleasure in visiting these
caves and in enjoying swim in the
cold waters of the wet caves was as
nothing compared to the. enthusiasm
expressed by some of the party who
made the trip from the Wainiha power
house to the intake station some five
miles further up the trail. Mr.. Lam
bert, who is also secretary Of the Trail
and Mountain Club of Honolulu, states
that though he has been over all the
mountain trails of Oahu at least once,
and some of them many times, includ-
ing the beautiful Punaluu trail, the
Wainiha trail is superior to them all
and that trail alone entities Kauai to
her name of the Garden lsle.''
On Thursday evening the boys were
treated to a delicious luau by Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Rice, Sr. Friday the en-
tire party assembled the road to the
power house where they were adj
dressed by Mr. Menefoglio, superin-
tendent, and shown all through the
plant, after which the entire party
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Meme
foglio for luncheon.
The Honolulu party consists of Cor
win Sayres, Theodore Adranga, Henry
Judd, Yoken Mau, Joe Katsunuma,
Toshi Kuninobu, Ross Page and R.
T. Lambert. The Kauai contingent
comprised the three Rice boys, Har-
rison. Paul and Richard; the three
Lydgate boys, Homer, Mortimer and
Percy; the two Cheatham boys, Ormy
and Moragne. Mr.. LOOMS and Mr.. +.
+. Cheatham, father of the two cheat
ham boys, spent several days with the
boys in the camp and expect to return
for other short stays during the two

kindness of the Kauai people and of
the assistance rendered them by Mr..
Loomis and Mr.. Cheatham. F.:
