HUMAN LEG.–This past Monday, found was a human leg at Ainahou. It was floating in the ocean when it was noticed. When it was brought to shore, and examined, lo and behold, it was a human leg; it was said to be the leg of the Chinese person that was amputated by the Doctor and thrown into the sea. The bad thing about it is that it was thrown into the ocean where fishing is done. The person who threw it into the ocean should be punished. It is terrible, because some of the fish we eat comes from there; and it will decompose quickly. Perhaps they were too lazy to bury it. “Yes, my fingers will become filthy with dirt, and my nails will become sore from the exertion.”
