turned yesterday morning from tho 9
record.
The last four days Of the stay Q
side Of the Island, from Lihue to Har
Falls.
II was at Hanalei Bay that the
lishcd the third mark for the trip for
the pilot car went farthest out TO sea
two mountain road trips TO Olokele
est up' marks were made,
Driving along Hanalei beach last

under the wheels and the car was ca
Within short time the rising tide
had finished the job and The Advertiser
Eliot Car was farthest out 70 sea Of
any ear ever driven on the Island. The
waves swept up the long level beach
under the ear aud ten or fifteen feet
beyond. The water was washed up
over the hubs and the running boards
and, as the ear settled down, over the
tops Of the wheels
For three hours the pilot car was
stalled in the sand, but only for a short
time in this perilons position. Quick
work and the able aid Of residents and
visitors to Hanalci soon effected a res.
cue of the machine from the wet, soft
sand and the hungry waves Headed

lei Bay, the pilot car presented q
unique and sorry spectacle on tho quiet
strand Of Kauai's most beautiful
beach.
Sweaters were packed about the en-.
gine to keep out the salt water, and car
pets and sacks packed in front of the
radiator. Then by means Of heavy
beam as q lever, the wheels of the ear
were lifted one by one out Of their firm
position in the sand and piles Of short
boards built under them. This work
was done while the tide continually
drove under and around the car, which
now stood in about foot or two Of
water
Robert Kanlike, cowboy, gave val
liable assistance at this point by tying
his lariaf to the back Of the car, taking
= hitch about his saddle and lending the
full power Of his mount. Meanwhile a
half \ dozen Of those working 20 rescue
the car tackled the wheels, and in mo-
ment the machine was high and dry
again. After an hour or so Of work on
the magnetic by 7. o. Duggan, pilot Of
the ear, the engine was started again
and the auto was on its way again none
The worse for the adventurous expert
cnce. The car was driven for a half a
mile down the beach along the water Is
edge and then across the dry sands
again, where the aid Of a team Of mules
was given by Manager Parrish Of San
born ranch.
The thirty four-mile trip from Lihue
to Hanalei Bay had been made the day
before, while that morning the pilot car
party made the five!mile run 10 the end
Of the road beyond Hanalei at the
caves.
The motor road on windward Kauai
affords distinct change Of scenery
from the other side of the Island on
the trip to Waimea.
In place of the mxuriant cane fields
and nesting valley rice fields that pre-
dominate ON leeward Kauai, one finds
more open land, more sweeping vistas
Of beach and ocean. While the Waimea
road affords many fine views Of the
ocean, the Hanalei trip is succession Of
sweeping panoramas of sea that make
this road an oeeanside drive that has
few equals. The Toward road leads
further inland, while the windward road
hugs the shore; the Waimea side is more
closely cultivated, while the further
end of the Hanalei road is through open
grazing and pasture lands, though il
passes through three plantations Ha
namaiu side Of Lihue, Makee and XII
lapea.
Down to the edge of the beach, up
along cliffsides, circling bays and in
lots, the Hanalei road is a series Of sur
prising seascapes, now revealing q
broad sweep Of tumultuous surf, now q
long white stretch Of froth-covered reef
whore the surf beats at the base Of Q
pail and again the placid surface Of
some quiet bay.
Climaxing this succession Of ocean
tistas is Hanalei Bay, the beautiful
famed throughout Hawaii, and that
should be famed throughout the world
Beyond are the interesting caves, .
short distance by foot or horesbael
beyond the end Of the motor road The
pilot car party spent Wednesday even
Ing as guests Of Hanalei people at q
beach party and the next day aftel
the experience with the motor on tbs
beach returned 10 Lihne.

Hanalei is the only part Of the per
