Surveying the summit of Haleakala, 1876.

[Found under: “Na Nu Hou Kuloko”]

Shivering in the cold.–On the Saturday of big rain before the 28th of November, heavy raindrops made a clatter atop the tents of the surveyors staying on the summit of Haleakala. They were patient until their books and surveying tools were soaked, then they left the grounds and returned to Makawao, where they arrived alive.

[Found in G. K. Keawehaku’s “Kuu Kamaaina i ka Ua Kukala Hale”]

Kanikauwepa [Crack of the Whip].–An ohai tree that grew before the place that Haleakala stood was called by this name, on the north-east side of Kinau Gate (the Richards Street gate) [of Iolani Palace]; and under this tree soldiers who broke the rules of the military were whipped. And that is how it got its name.

Corrections by newspapers could happen almost immediately.

A CORRECTION.

Within the news published in the Kuokoa last week, June 18, 1920, beneath the heading, “Ka Aha Ike a na Maori ma ka Home o Mrs. A. P. Taylor,” the name of the Princess Kawananakoa was mistakenly inserted among the people invited. What is correct there is the Princess Kalanianaole.–Editor.

In the upland of Manoa, at the home of Mrs. A. P. (Ahuena) Taylor, at “Luana Pua,” an audience was given in honor of the Maori of New Zealand living here in this town.

This is the second time that the Maori showed up at the home of Mrs. A. P. Taylor. On this night, because of the wish of these malihini to have abundant time to meet and speak with descendants of the great families of Hawaii nei.

Present were the descendants of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua lines that night, so too were some kamaaina possessing deep knowledge of the history of the Hawaiian lahui to satisfy what these malihini desired. Continue reading
