be skeptical, and are waiting for some
thing more final than the rumor given

This report declares that when young
Kakae, who was one Of party OF

passing auto and carried to the far
side of the Island where he managed
TO get aboard Of a steamer for this
city. Here he shipped on board one
Of the Matsoh boats as cooks help

land. From San Francisco he is said
to have drifted south to Los Angeles,
where he ran upon number of Hawa-
iians who were members Of an orches-
ira engaged in one Of the larger cafes
in the Southern California city. Ka-
kae Is said to have joined forces with
this troupe and he has written to
friends in Kona that he Is well and
happy. The report appearing In the
Hilo papers does not give the name
of this friend, nor does II quote the
parents of the youngster, who were
desolated when he disappeared
g. r. Bostwick, a member Of the
KAN School faculty, who had been
two weeks on the Big Island and re.
