When volcanologists warned the Hawaiian islands recently that a
tidal wave 100 feet high was due to engulf the islands, virtually the
entire population is reported to have fled to the hilltops. But two
California girls, Helen Armstrong and Ruth Shanks, refused to leave
the lowlands, prefering to stay behind to look after things while
urging their friends to seek safety. The fact that the wave failed
to materialize didn't lessen their bravery in the eyes of the islanders.
