At 7 o'clock Sunday morning the rain gaugo showed that 14.53 Inches of water had fallen in the previous twenty-four hours. This Infinite" vol lime of water was racing through llllo to And Its level In thu sea. As the darkness camo down upon thu city Saturday night, thu clouds hugged closer tu tho earth and their Inexhaust ible contents came down In ava lanches of drops and sheets of spray. Electricity Submerged. A llttlo after 5 o'clock tho heavy tail rare at tho electric' lignt station was tlon carried like drift wood down thu river. Tho pipe was of Iron and ovur two (ect in diameter, iiul It was tossed about llko straw. It was soon discov ered that tho head gates near Rain bow Fnlls were clogged nnd no water van coming down the big sluice to turn tho electric dynamos. Manager Bcdgcwlck went at once to Halnbow Kulls, where hn found tnu sluleu hend burled to thu depth of three feet. It was out of tho question tu open thu clogged water Head. Therefore llllo went to sleep wet and In darkness. How dark and how wet nobody knows except those who tuny have fallen Into a cistern in an unllghtcd cellar. Candles and kero sene lamps were brought Into requisi tion, and an occasional feeblo ray piercing the Stygian darkness was all tbe evidence left to show that a cltr Ectood on tho shores of llllo Hay. Walolama Bursts Banks. I-nto Saturday afternoon grave tiouble was brewing in another quar ter. Tho bed of tho Walolama stream had becomo a lake. Tho outlet ot this stream was formerly at a point on Front street now occupied by Ilackfeld's lumber yard. Thu cannl cut to thu Wnlakea river mauka of Kront street, to divert the course of tho Walolama, was gUen moro work that it could do. The whole district umth of Church street and makal of Volcano street was Hooded. Many houses occupied by Japanese, Chlneso and Hnwallans were covered with wa ter on tho first floor and were In Immt uent danger -.of being cnrrled from their foundations by tho rising waters. Fonohawal street was covered with water coming up to tho bed of hacks Kront street was a sheet or water, cov ered with floating pond lllllcs, from Ilackfeld's coffee mill to Davles' warehouse. Tho big 300-foot warn house belonging to Haekfeld & Co. was In danger. Tho wholo Haekfeld fcrce from Mr. Humburg down wcro on the spot to do what tbey could to avert disaster. The warehouso was stored with all kinds of merchandise. Lumber Yard Devastated. When darkness camo the grade In Front street Btlll stood a substantial barrier between thu lumber plant and ttlll raising waters. At 10 o'clock thu current broke through the loosu soil beneath tho macadam at the corner of tnu' planing mill, on tho city sldu of tho big 300-foot dry shed which pro tected suiuiuo feet or dressed lumlier, Tho freed waters literally scooped their nay to tho Bea soon creating a channel eight feet cleop and forty feet wldo across tho road. Tho water main to Walakea was snapped and that suburb, though submerged, still was waterless. Tho soft sandy soil soou crumbled from beneath the foun dations of tho planing mill and tlm dry lumber shed and tall plies of lum ber toppled over. Sunday morning revealed a state of wreck and confusion in that lumber yard. Thu dry lumber shed was tilted toWard tho new Walolama river, mndu during tho night and its long roof was torn and mangled as It touched by thu breath of a Kansas cyclone. Damage had been wrought during tbe night, nccordlng to Mr. Humburg, of from 1D,000 to 120,000. Tho Hack feld force was on hand bright and early at tho work of salvage. Hum berg, Castcndyke, Patterson, Conradt, nichardson, Andrews nnd tho rest of them with gangs of Orientals worked like Trojans to Bavo lumber from be ing carried to tho sea. In tho after noon Sheriff Andrews sent down a gang of twenly-ona prisoners to aid In tho work. Leaning towers of bonrilB nnd scantling wero pulled down and tbo Japs worked llkn water rats in retrieving whatever roll into tho current. All day tho wreckage was viewed by crowds who ventured out' between Tho ravages of the flood along' Volcano rrad arc frightful. That highway has been denuded of top dressing from tho city to the Volcano. It Is rougher than an nbnndoned turnpike. The bridge at four-mile wns submerged, but it withstood the Hood. No Damage to Olaa. At cloven mile, tho rainfall Is re ported at 30 Inches In forty-eight hours. With this remarkable down pour It Is said no appreciable dam ago was done In the cano fields. A resident at that volnt was in the city Monday. He describes a peculiar pho Jerked from Its cement founda- nomena. witnessed by himself and and anchorage of steel bands nnd many others. Ho said the wnter wciuici come iiuwii inn slopes in suceis as high as three to five Inches. This water would seemlugly be swallowed up by tho earth. It was this phenom enal absorbing iKiwcr of the volcanic soil that prevented the flood from accumulating In an enormous wave which would hnve swept everything before It. Hack of thu city three ot four miles thu slopes nru dotted with Irequeut springs from thu size of one's little linger to n stovo pipe, which further Indicates that great quantities of the water that fell is still stoied tn subterranean eaves and that pos sibly much of It found a way to tho sea through' burled rivers. Abovo sixteen miles, the road has been damaged moro than on this side. I Is cut up with gullies and strewn with logs and debris. Kaumana Way. The hrldgo on the Kaumnnn road .three miles out wns wrecked. Thu Hustle carrying thu 8-Inch llllo water main across thu river was washed away, together with tho pipe, making the city dependent on water for tho time being from tho lower spring, which Is still connected, llnlnbiiw lills was one of tin- grand est sights of the whole storm. Tho Wailiiku river at that point wns llttlo lira if nt all Inferior In sublimity, to the Horse Shoe falls cm thu Niagara. Churles Hitchcock secured a Unci pho tugraph when the waters wero near their maximum volume. Scores of Hlluites braved the rain to wltnesj tho big rails. Hamakua Road. Tho same reports of damaged roads comes iu from tho north. At Kawal- put a gang of men weru kept working alt Saturday night to save tho road from destruction by a landslide. An other landslide at Onumea covered tho road with tons of earth for n dis tance of fifty yards. speaking of this road. J. A. Scott of tho Road Hoard said that the storm demonstrated over again that tho best road is thu cheapest.

She met with terrible weath er on the trip and a high wind and very heavy sea made things uncomfor table. In a very severe squall which the vessel mixed up with, her fore rig- glng-was earned away and her nialq rigging badly strained. As there ap peared no chance that tho storm would subside, Captain Gardner determined to put back. This be did nnd tho ves sel was plCni'd up by tho Kcarless yes terday afternoon a couple of miles oft port and brought Into the harbor in safety. Captain Gardner was compll-1 mented hy tho vessars owners on the neat job he did In bringing tho vessel to port without losing tier masts.
