Death of Mary Lehia Nihipali, 1918.
RETURNED HEAVY TO THE SANDS OF HANAKAHI.
Mr. Editor of the Kuokoa, Aloha nui kaua:—Please allow me to carry those sad words above amongst the beloved communities of ours so that the relatives and family of my dearly beloved grandchild will know.
Being that on the 26th of February 1918, my dear grandchild left this life; her soul went to god and her body to the earth, and the words he spoke came true, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.” The doctors put in much effort, but that was not victorious.

A translation of the Grimm’s “Fisherman and His Wife,” 1873.
A GERMAN TALE
OF THE
FISHERMAN AND HIS WIFE.
In times long past, there lived a fisherman and his wife in their hovel near the sea; each day the man often went fishing. There he fished with a pole and looked out onto the flat sea for many days. One morning, he let out his line until it hit deep below, and when he raised it up, he hooked a huge Flounder [Oopukai]. When it appeared at the surface, it pleaded in a human voice, “Let me go, O Fisherman; I am not a real fish, but I am an enchanted prince. What would be the good of you pulling me up to the land? There is nothing of me to eat, so let me free into the sea so that I can swim away.”
…
[The beginning of the translation of “The Fisherman and His Wife” goes something like that. I am not sure what version this was translated from or who the translator was.]
