Boy Scouts of Maui

to Kapuna well. We thank these bro
ther scouts for their kind help.
They've certainly lived up to the
scout laws-Kind and Helpful.
We reached Waihee a little after
three o'clock. The manager of the
Waikiki Sugar Co, farm kindly gave
us the use of n of the dairy cot
tages. We cleaned up the house and
stored in it all of our clothes, blan-
kets, food, etc. Then, as usual, we
gathered wood and started fire for
cooking. After supper our scout
master told us interesting stories.
At eight o'clock, we went to the
dairy to see how the men milk the
COWS. First we saw the wv stand
ing in a fine building which has a
concrete floor. A boy came along
and gave the COWS a good washing.
Then a man came along with two
milking apparatus. These were run
by a motor. Geel that was the first
time we ever saw a milking machine.
The milk was taken to another ma
chine, where it was purified. We
drank some of this clean milk the
next morning. We are certainly
glad to see the Waihee Dairy.
Brother scouts and all, when you
have a chance, go and see for you
self the wonderful machinery.
After we left the dairy, we start
ed our games. The moonlight was
just fine. Grab race and the fire
mans lift race by patrols were the
main games played. Laugh? Why our
scoutmaster laughed until there was
hardly anything left of him. Then
we built a fire for cooking u sweet
corn. We got it from our school
garden. My the ears were sweet.
Pop, we missed. you and the popcorn
very much. We retired around the
fire at a late hour of the night.
On Saturday morning, after break
fast, our socutmaster went to Pun
meme to attend the County Primary
election. He left us with Scout Kau-
meheiwa. We hiked up the noun
tains and then to kapuna. We saw
a lot. We had signaling and track
ing while up the mountain. We
brought down bamboo. Oh! it was
hard climbing. But coming back; it
minutes to get down to the upper
llldll lOdu. lItu, lllc llhC u INupu
ma well was interesting. We saw
fresh water bubbling out of the
ocean 1t is said that there is a
spring of fresh water about twenty
feet under the
After we got back to our camping
spot we had our late lunch. After
resting a long while we walked along
the sand-hills and the beach by pa
trolls We had swimming. Say Puu-
meme, o may think that we cannot
swim in tanks, but oh! you ought to
see us at Waihee beach, why every
one could u and cut through the
water. The water was never above
the knees. 1t was so low that we
could have the crab race in the wa
ter. After supper we visited the
dairy once more and retired very
early.
On Sunday we got up late and had
a late breakfast. Then we packed
and cleaned up the house and the
grounds around the house. We went
to the beach and had our last swim.
Someone lent us his canoe. We
never were in any canoe before. You
just can imagine how we managed
that one. After awhile we got on to
the trick, Gosh! we had a dandy
canoe ride. The next ride was a
truck ride. The H. c. & S. Co., truck
came for us and brought us safely
back to Spreckelsville. We wish to
thank all those who helped us enjoy
our camping at Waihee, for we did
have n real good-time.
Two of our scouts, Kaoru Fugimu-
IA and Earl Medeiros missed the
good time through some misunder-
standing about their way to Waihee.
But please don't worry, we will soon
have another camping, probably at
lao Valley. Hurrah!! Come Scouts,
let us move around. Let us tell the
people some good things we see
through the good things we learn in
scouting.
