of Kamehameha School, battalion of
which has been spending its annual

The other boys urged that he return
to camp with them, but he said there
was no hurry and that he would get
back later. They left him there ON the
mountain trail among the free ferns,
and that is the last that has been seen
or heard of the boy; from that moment
he mysteriously dropped out Of sight.

where John had last been seen and
searched all through that part Of the
fern forest, shooting OF revolver and
calling. But there was no answer and

Meanwhile Prof. L. q. Webster got
to a telephone and called up Hilo TO
find out if John had by any means
gone to his fathers home at Papaikou.

officer for the district. But the boy had
not gone home.

trails and in the forest, but nothing
was found to indicate that John had
