Yesterday morning the sea of Waikiki was somewhat rough, and some canoes were caused to bounce up and down like the head of a kolea.

Discovery of a new water source at Puuopapai, Kauai, 1856.
A NEW WATER SOURCE.
O Ka Hae Hawaii, Aloha oe:
A new water source was found at Puuopapai, to the south of Hanapepe. It is a new water source found only now, not before. In earlier days there was no water there. This is the nature of that water: It is water that flows within earth and stone; some people have divided it into a place where people drink, and where animals drink. There are many who are going there to sightsee, from Koloa, Lihue, and all the way to Puna, to go and see this new water source. These past three months, there were a lot of sunny days without rain, and it was during these months that the water appeared. From the beginning to the year 1855, water was not seen there.

H.
