THE HAMOA EEL
A Legend of the Hama District
By Charles Jacobs, Jr., Grade VIII,
Hama School

BY Charles Jacobs, Jr., Grade VIII,
Hama School
Kahana was a high chief who lived
long ago at Hamoa, East Maui. He
was looked upon by all the Hawaiians
as a supernatural man. This man Ka-
hama, was liked by the people because
of his kindness. He had a very large
fish pond the remains of which can
be seen at Hamoa today.
When Kahana wanted any variety
of fish he would go to the edge of the
pond and call the fishes he wanted
Amaama, awaaua, aholehole, etc.
There was always fish in this pond.
The East Maui people were thus well
supplied with fish for they secured
them free of charge from Kahana.
One day, to Kahana's surprise, no
fish came to answer his call. He was
very much disappointed. He called
all his kahunas together and told
them about his misfortune. The ka.
hunas went home and studied the
problem and after a while they came
back and reported to their chief that
a large eel from the Island of Hawaii,
had come to his fish pond. They said
that this eel had eaten every fish in
the pond and that it was sleeping in
a cave on the Island of Alau near the
shore of Hamoa and would not waken
for several days.
Kahana was very angry and impa-
tient. He wanted to kill the eel. He
ordered his men to weave two strong
ropes of olona, each a mile long. When
the ropes were finished, Kahana call
ed the Kaupo and Kipahulu men and
told them to station themselves on
the hill opposite, Hamoa village. He
then dispatched messengers to Kea-
nae and Nahiku to gather the men
there. When the Keanae and Nahiku
men arrived, Kahana told them to sta
ton themselves on the opposite shore
ear Kawiki Head.
He then ordered expert divers to
dive down where the eel was asleep
and fasten the two ropes to the eel.
One cord was stretched from the Ha-
moa Hill to the eel at Alau and an
other from the Kawiki Hill to the eel.
A signal vas given for the two groups
of people to pull. 1t was a hard pull
for the eel was large. The southern
men were stronger so the eel was pull
ed towards them and was finally land
ed on the western side of the Hamoa
Hill.
The people and ever Kahana could
not kill the eel. A young and strong
man from Kaupo, who was watching
all this from a distance took a large
rock and threw it at the head of The
unfortunate eel and so killed it. The
people were very happy. The eel was
so heavy that it made a hollow in the
rock on the shore. If you should visit
Hamoa today, you would see the
shape of the eel on a long smooth
rock with the stone that killed it at
the head.

The Daily Fun Hour
Juggling English

@'S'S'
This interesting and instructive
game is similar to Palindromes, only
much easier, as palindromes must be
words spelled alike, backward or for
ward, such as did, noon, madam, etc.
while in Juggling English the words
may form other words when pied
or reversed.
After explaining the game the
leader asks each player to write as
many reversible words as possible.
At the end of a fixed time the papers
are passed up and the player having
listed the largest number of words
wins the first game. Here are fifty
specimen words in Juggling English:
Edit-tide, tar-rat, Elba-able, war.raw
pan-nap, door-rood, ton-not, deer-reed
Emir-rime, saw-was, parts-strap, loot
tool, evil live, Dan-and, yam-may
wen-new, but-tub, stun-nuts, loop.
pool, wolf flow, gab-bag, laid-dial, pit.
tip, ten-net, ward-draw.
For the next round, the leader may
give out certain words and ask the
players to make other words of them
using the anne letters in any order
For instance, the words listed by the
leader may be: 1-Nile, 2-heart, 3-layel
4-steam, 5-meal, emile, 7-pare, Stripe,
9-pater and 10-leap. The winning
list would contain these variations OF
the winning given words: i-Line.
lien. 2-earth, hater, 3-relay early, 4.
mates, teams, 5 male, lame, 6-Emil.
lime, 7-pear, reap 9-Po:j. pier 9-tapel
prate, and 10-peal, pale. In the more
difficult game of Anagrams, names
and sentences are ~transposed In the
same manner into new sentences.

Sarah Bernhardt Grows
Younger.

Paris, Oct. 19.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-Day by day, in every
way, Sarah Bernhardt seems to grow
younger and younger. NexE Monday
she will be " years old, yet she is
on the threshold of busy winter of
varied and exacting work. Listening
to her plans for the season, one
would think the great actress had
just attained her prime and was fu-
rionsly struggling in tide of actiyl-
lies with the hope of being swept on
to fame and career of greatness.
In the first place, the incompar-
able French artistic expects to appear
in four plays during the coming sea-
son, creating new roles, and reviving
others. Somehow she is going to find
time to continue her sculpturing and
her writing.
Last summer, during her stay at
Belle Isle, she finished bust of her
son, and now has turned her fingers
to a fresh piece Of clay. Her new
novel will be published next month.
Already her pen is busy on the manu-
script for another volume. 1t is to be
"a book of advice to actors. Above all
selse, Nine. Bernhardt will counsel
them ''to be sincere"
@I ought to go to America" she
said tho other day. "America de-
n1ands me, and I certainly shall go
there. l should have gone this year,
but l must reckon with my age.
Perhaps will not have time to do all
I wish to do"
MADAME Bernhardt will make her
first appearance of the season upon
the stage of her own theatre in Paris
in a revival of Maurice Rostand's
stGiory." Later, with Lucien Guitry,
She will give the first performance
of a play written for them by Lu-
Glen Guitry's son, Sacha Guitry.
ssIt is a long and fine dialogue" +"
Nine. Bernhardt said, in describing
the Guitry work.
Her third role of the season will
be .The Sphinx" in the play of that
name by Maurice Rostand, and after
that she will appear in ''The Man."
