'.RiIIIlIEIRijOiIF DEATH LEAVES
BARRENlovELYI AjOIVALE
Thousands of Persons Visit
Scene of Maui Floods

lao Valley; the place whence came the
message of death and destruction, borne
on the bosom of roaring waters, lay
again serene, beautiful and smiling on
Sunday, when hundreds Of persons made
their pilgrimage to the far.famed beau
ty spot Of Maui. In automobiles they
came, in carriages and on horseback
but mostly ON foot, and the latter were
wise, for you cannot climb rocks and
boulders and cross streams unless you
use your own legs. ,r
Despite the loveliness of the sunlit
day and the dreamy, tranquil beauty Of
the valley, one could not help shuddel
when looking at the changes the dead
ly food had wrought Where formerly
there was only narrow stream OF
twenty-five feet, there now yawned al
abyss of 200 feet. The little riyel
above famous Kapaniwai runs above il
no longer, but has made new bed be
low, where boulders have rolled dowI
from the upper valley as if thrown by
the hands of giants. Where befor,
there was a pretty lawn with soft, vel
vety grass, there is now nothing but
barren stretch of sand and rocks.
Acres of green taro patches hay
been swept away as if they never were
and lovely little cottages, the swee
homes Of jewellers in the valley are n
more, and where they stood there i
now but pile of rocks and debris
Gone are many beautiful trees, unde
the shades of which happy families use'
to gather in blissful security and peace
And the river runs like a silve
thread through the valley once more
eooL clear and gurgling, and il is har,
TO realize that only few days ago i
was the River of Death, carrying o
its dark, turbulent bosom the dead bod
