THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESJDAY. JANUARY 25. 1916

Fisherman and others feniiliar
with the little haven of Nualolo on
the Napali coast with be interest
ed in-the following account writ
ten nearly one Hundred years ago
by Hiram Binhanir following a
visit to the spot. Auk. 2, 1821.
"It would seem that some hun
dreds of natives live in, this for
bidding part of the Island'.'- the
Napali Se2tion-"subsisting doubt
less chiefly on fish. They -pass
from one neighborhood to another
in canoes. Here about halfway of
what the natives 'call the Pali' we
landed where on acre or two of
sterile ground, bounded on one
side' by the ocean, and environed
on the other by a stupendous cliff,
nearly perpendicular, forming at
its base a semicircular curve,
which meets the ocean at each end.
In the middle of the curve, a stu
pendous rock rises to the height,
I should say, of about 1500 ft.
Near one end of the curve the rock
projects 50 ft from its base, and is
here about 300 ft high. So that
10 houses of the village are built
under it and defended generally
from the rain and tempests, and
always from the direct rays of the
sun, till some time in the after
noon. The cool shade of this

rock, when we were there, be
tween 10 and 11 o'clock, extended
more than 100 ft. from its base.
Never was I so forcibly impressed
by any scene in nature, with the
force of the sacred words.' A hid
ing place from the wind: a covert
from the stotm: as the shadow of a
great rock in a weary land". The
highest part is called the Five Pa
li. Here the natives sometimes
exhibit their fireworks at night, as
they did a few nights since, when
the Kings lodged there. Along a
winding difficult ascent, which
m Commences by a rude ladder hang
ing over the sea, they climb to the
very semmit, and throw off fire
brands, or torches, ingeniously
constructed, which sail off to a
great distance and fall in the ocean
below. This is a very popular re
sort for fishing and when we were
there were no less than 70 men
and women engaged in that pur
suit, mostly using Auhuhu, or fish
poison, a leguminous plant which
they bruise and throw into the
waters about the reef. The poison
intoxicates the fish, which can
readily be secured, either by net,
or the open hand."
Taken from The. Missionary
Herald for Aug. 1822.
Market Report
The following letter has been
sent out by the Marketing Divi
sion:
January 14, 1916
Due to recent heavy tains the
supply of eggs is short and the
price has advanced. Duck eggs
have also advanced.
I Poultry of all kinds is a little
more plentiful but is meeting a
good sale at good prices. Consign
ments o f Muscovy ducks and
young chickens are wanted in par
ticular. ,(
Vegetables are high and will
probably eontinue so, due to heavy
rains. There is good sale for red
beans at $4.50 to $5.00. with very
few in the market. Oahu cabbage
is commencing to come in. The
quality is good and also the sales.
Sweet corn is in demand as usual,
A large shipment is expected from
Molokai Sunday mornlngj There
are very few island Irish-potatoes
in the market. New island Irish
potatoes are selling well at good
prices. Kti u a i grown madeira
sweet potatoes are coming to be
the most popular sweets in the
market. The price of tomatoes is
high due to wet weather.
The Division needs consign
ments of limes at the present time.
Prices are good. The market for
pohas is getting better. Straw
berries are coming into the market
and are bringing good prices. The

ESTABLISH
LEPROSARIUM
(Special Washington correspondence of "CHE
GARDEN 1SLANV.)
Washington, D. C. Dec. 26.
The attention of members of Con
gress is being called by letters from
ministers in various parts of the
coitiittv to the necessity for taking
better care of the lepers to be found
in the United States. It is re
presented that there are two official
leoer eolonies in the United States,
one in Massachusetts with ten in
mates, and one in Louisiana with
ilO. , In addition there are known
to be from one to three lepers in
each of sixteen other States It is
urged that funds be appropriated
to establish a National Lepro
sarium. where the unfortunate vic
tims of the terrible disease of lep
rosy mav be given humane and
careful treatment and afforded
comforts from which they are now
debarred through lack of funds
and organization. Such an insti
tution would, its proposers con
tend, serve to eliminate the danger
which now esists of the spread of
the disease.
OF
KINNEY'S VISIT
A new cooking room and work
shop at Waimea and a new cook
ing room at Kleele school will
probably' be among the results of
the recent visit of Superintendent
Kinney to the Kauai schools. The
building at Eleele at present
used for instruction in cooking
and manual training will be used
for the latter purpose only.
A new school building was de
cided upon for Makaweli, to be
built during the coming summer.
The Superintendent was much
impressed with the need of a new
building at Kilauea, and that im
provement will be undertaken
with as little delay as possible.
Mr. Kinney was delighted with
the new site for tke Mana school,
which is a great improvement on
the old site.
Plans will be undertaken at once
for removing the llaena school to
a nearer point.
Steps will be taken to secure
more land at the Kapaa school for
use as a play ground. The effort
will be to get two or three acres
directly across the road from the
school .
