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.
