For 2s days he went without food.
He was beginning 20 go into that
lassitude which 'precedes death by
starvation. when the heavens began
10 rage with thunder and swords Of
fire
Quivering with dread. Kanehaku
struggled TO his knees once again TO
ask forgiveness for an old heathen's
wavering faith In n God he had Just
got acquainted with.
And once again his prayer was an
swered. For early next morning he
was awakened from his stupor by a
furious thrashing behind the stern Of
his boat. On the hooked line which
had been left dangling there thruout
the long drift fish was caught.
Kanehaku ate ravcnously Of the raw
flesh, saving only the entrails. with
which. as bait. he presently caught
other fish, and lived TO hunger again.
To hunger again--because he lost
the hook in trying to land a big fish.
