cattle and selling the beef.
Douglas had breakfast with the
man, and went on his way, tramp
ing up the mountain. Some hours
later his body was found in the
bull-trap, the angry animal stand
ing over him.
Investigations were made; the
bullock hunter was questioned,
but no very satisfactory informa-
ton was obtained. 1t is a mystery
to this day just what happened.
The bullock-hunter offered the
theory that Douglas, passing the
pit, had turned back to look, and
fallen in, for his bundle was found
some distance farther on.

1t is in 1915 that John P.
Parker, a sailor from New Eng

Thus far there have been no har-

through chutes into the ocean

them to ships waiting outside.
There they are hoisted aboard to
be freighted to Honolulu as po-

A recently proposed project will
soon make this picturesque meth
