[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO: Oahu.”]

A MAN SNAGGED BY A HOOK.–This past Saturday, some people went to Waikiki to catch flying fish by driving them into a net using their paddles [pahoe malolo]. And as usual, one of them dove down to watch the fish go in, that is what Mauhelemoku did. And the third time he dove down, there was dangling line and a hook of someone fishing. The canoe with the hook moved forward, and the mouth of that man was hooked. The one that the hook belonged to thought it was a fish and he yanked it up. The man along with the hook went came down and Dr. Hillebrand took it out. Eh! This is something new this flying fish fishing season.

JOINED IN THE PURE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE

Hon. Jonah Kumalae,
Honolulu, Hawaii.

Aloha nui kaua:–

Please allow me your patience with an open space in our precious, “KE ALAKAI O HAWAII” for this:

At 12:00 M of the 18th of May, 1930, Mary Kaloa of Pauwela, Maui was joined in the pure covenant of marriage with Mr. Silaviaro Balamora* of the American Cannery of Haiku, Maui.

Prescott Foo joined these young ones in the sacred covenant of marriage in the church of the Faith of the Latter Day located at Pauwela, Maui.

After the wedding, brought forth were light fare, that being desserts and cool ice.

After the foods were gone, the newly weds and their friends as well as us went to a luau prepared by Mrs. Cup Choy and Mrs. Po-ka.

We partook and were satiated by the very delicious meal.

Therefore, this was one of the awe-inspiring marriages held in Pauwela, Maui.

Present was your news sniffing sleuth of “Ke ALAKAI O HAWAII,” where he enjoyed those hours of happiness.

May the days of your marriage, O my grandchildren, be accompanied by the fortunes and blessings of the worldly life.

So too with your parents and family as well.

With you my dear Editor goes my great trust, and with your Linotype setters goes my farewell.

*Should the last name be Baylosis?
