Fishing deaths, 1845.
MANY DEATHS.
On the 27th of November, three people died in the Pailolo Channel, that being the sea between Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Six people went out to sea; three survived and three died; a woman was one of those who died. Here are the names of the dead: Kealiimahiai, Kahakauila, and Upai (a woman).
This is how they died. They sailed to Lanai from Lahaina to fish. They all went out to sea, got their fish, and returned. When they all returned to Lahaina, their canoe sank because of the stormy winds. They attempted to right the canoe, but it did not work. They left the canoe behind and swam; and three of them died. When their friends in Lahaina heard, there was much crying and grief.

A. F. Judd, November 25, 1893
Words of Alapaki Kauka
Here are some statements made by A. F. Judd at the Armory on 25 November 1893: “Either we work together or we will hang one by one.”
We ask A. F. Judd: “Will your working together save you all from hanging one by one because of your treason?”
We assure you, O A. F. Judd, that Queen Liliuokalani will indeed be reinstated in these coming days: “Can you show us reasons why this belief of ours lacks truth?”
Is it not true that you and your people know the clear reason for you all being terminated in the Provisional Government? Why have you falsely announced in the Kuokoa that the Queen will not be returned?

More on Deputy Sheriff William Wond, 1893.
William Saffery Wond (Bila Wanu) has been terminated as the Deputy Sheriff of Ewa for restricting the officers of Ewa from signing their names to the Annexation petition.
(Leo o ka Lahui, 4/5/1893, p. 1)
William Wond fired, 1894.
Fired with no Cause.
On this past 31st of December, William Wond (Bila Wanu) received from Marshal Hitchcock [Ilamuku Hikikoki] a document written on the 30th of that month, announcing that his position as deputy sheriff of the district of Ewa would be terminated, and Anakalea Kauhi would be appointed in his stead. He is to surrender all equipment related to law enforcement into the hands of Kauhi on the first of the year.
Wond was astonished that the Marshal did not make known his intent to terminate him days before. We say that in this the Marshal of the P. G. Government is very childish, and this is a cowardly act, the firing of someone without daring to call the man to meet face to face, and to reveal at that time the intent to terminate him.
Hitchcock nonetheless boasts that he tries to do the right thing in all he does. Is this the right thing you did, Marshal Hitchcock?
[It is interesting to note that the Hawaiian Gazette of 1/2/1894, p. 11, reports: “A. Kauhi has been appointed deputy sheriff of Ewa, in place of William Wond, resigned.”]
