Accident at Sea, 1877.

[Found under: “Na Nu Hou Kuloko.”]

Lives Blessed by God–By the boundless generosity of Kalaiolele from the Bays of Piilani and P. N. Kahokuoluna from Olowalu, we received the sad news of an overturned canoe, as reported below: On the 4th of June, a single canoe left Kahoolawe and sailed for Lahaina. Aboard the canoe were five men and one woman along with 8,000 dried akule. Late that night, the canoe came upon a sudden gust of wind and was overturned. They tried hard to right the canoe but could not. In the afternoon of the 6th, they were spotted floating on the bottom of the canoe by the people of Olowalu. They were fetched at saved.
