BIG GANE FIRE AI Owing to dry weather enno fires seem to havo becomo habitual dur ing tho last month. Makavell plan tation 'was tho latest and heaviest sufferer, 110 ucres being burned off last Wednesday. Tho oxact origin of tho fire Is unknown but it Is thought that It was started by a lighted cigarotto stub that was thrown in tho grass alongside of tho road. There was a broeze at the time and In a very short while tho flames woro sweep ing over tho field of 90-ton cane. The fire started about noon in field six. It was necessary to call out all tho men on tho plan tation before tho fire waa finally put under control. Duo to tho dry ness of the field no attempt was mado to' cut a tiro break through tho cane, but It was cut parallel to a railroad track that runs thru the flold. Tho heavy columns of smoke could bo Been for miles on tho west' sldo of tho Island and it attracted spectators from all parts of the west side. Only tho efficient and rapid work of tho lunas in charge prevented the fire from burning off more acreage, as tho wholo field consists of G4ti acres. It will take from ten to fifteen days to harvest tho cane burnt and there are possibilities that quite a bit of tho cane will be spoiled, as the problem of getting that much cane into the mill before tho juice sours is a big ono. The McBryde Sugar company Is helping with cutters, loaders and cars. :: A GHOST STORY Wo have a report from Kealla of a very interesting story In which four boys were nearly scared out of the cause for tho fright being the ap poarance of two ''ghosts' along side their wits last Wednesday evening, the Kealla graveyard that ovenlng about 9 o'clock. v According to tho story, this party of four started to walk to Kealla their machino being stalled in Ka paa and left in tho garage for re pairs. Seeing their predicament, two enterprising jesters went homo, pull 'ed a couple of bedsheets from their beds and started for Kealla in their automobile, taking tho long route via the Kapaa school, but not until tho hikora had passed the road lead lng up to tho school. They reached tho Kealla bridge, hid their car on the side of tho road and made their way up to the graveyard on foot and waited for their victims to ap pear. Tho night was pitch dark and tho "ghosts" stooped down along tho fence of tho graveyard, their pres once being first noticed by tho walk era when thoy wero -only a few feet from them. One of tho walk' ers, who bad often talked about his courage and how bo had no fear of ghostB, started to uphold his reputa' tion and called out to tho "ghosts", "say spirits, you go back to tho grave where you came from," but ono of tho white figures who had been in a crouching position, roso and Boomed to tower nbovo tho sky and came slowly toward them. Two of his companions- lmedlately fled and the brave ono turned and fled with tho other two. Tho fourth membor of tho walking party was so scared that he could not run and seeing his path blockod by tho two "ghosts", rushed for tho tailor of tho two and was Immensely relieved to find it only ono of tho boys he know. Tho other threo bad by this time broken ull speed records for sprinting and were already In Kealla talking about their encounter with two "ghosts." Even as thoy wore running tho "courageous" ono Insisted that tho "ghost" they met was tho same ono he had met at tho same placo some weoks ago. MAKAWELI GALLANT RESCUE AI To tho wonderful pluck and pres ence of mind displayed by his friend David Crulckshank, the second engi neer at Makawell, Frank Broland, bu gar boiler, also of Makawoli, undoub tedly owes hlB life. Tho men, ac companied by Charles Hammond, a boy of fourteon, wero bathing at La wai beach on Sunday tho 22nd, and not understanding tho danger, wont out n llttlo too far. Diving undor a wave they were caught in tho nndor tow and Broland was .carried Into the current which took him further and further from shore. Crulck shank, knowing that he was only a beginner at swimming, Immediately swam ashoro calling out for ropo. This fortunately was at hand, Mr. McBryde having ono always roady for tho purpose. Crulckshank 'Im mediately fastened It around hl-m- self and started out, but soon found that he could not got on .very well, so returned and snatched an Inner tube which one of the children was wearing and set out again. By this time, tho boy, Charles Hammond, who had staid by tho drowning man until ho could scarce ly move himself, was coming ashore, and seeing his exhausted condition mado tho people on shoro reallzo what a serious thing was happening and that Crulckshank, who was only a poor swimmer himself, was literal ly taking his llfo in his hands. After a terrific struggle against tho waves he was seen to bo getting noarer to his man, who fortunately kept his head throughout tho terrlblo strain. Then came a tense moment when It was seen that the ropo was too short, but here, tortunatoly somo others arrived to join the "picnic par ty, and James Stackhouse of the U. S. Engineers, Lihue, took tho end of tho ropo and wont in far enough to give Crulckshank enough way to roach the drowning man. This he did jUBt In time and even then had it not been for the tube keeping them afloat it would havo gono badly with them, for ono was almost drowned and tho othor exhausted Thoy were slowly hauled In under the guidance of Alexander McBryde who directed when to haul and whon to slack, knowledge which meant that tho men wore not injured, as they might easily have beenu had they been pulled through tho waves by main force. Both rescuer and rescued sorved through the late war. Seeing tholr presence of mind under such torrify- lng circumstances makes one reallzo in a way tho spirit which had taken them through their war experiences Seon on Monday, Frank Broland said that though feeling just one big ache all over, he was otherwise fine. Ho also said that though ho had been in many a tight place, both In Franco and the Balkan campaign, ho had never been bo nearly gono before. , Dovld Crulckshank fortunatoly Is also none the worse for his export ence. . :: LIHUE UNION CHURCH Regular Sunday-school nnd church services will be rosumod next Sun day on nlng at tho usu'il hours. 1 11 old t.iiiulr.y-school Bcholara :ira re minded tc: be prouant at .0 o'clock Church members ind momborH in tho cr.nmunlty are Invited to bu prebPnt for tho morning hour worship.
