P! FROM HAWAII.
Some Exciting; Scenes Shooting
Wild Hogs in the Foothill?.
THii ASCEiNT OK MOUNT MAUNA KEA.
The Highest Mountain in the Pacific Ocean
The Snramit Lake Waiaw-Not
a Pleasnre Trip.
A few months after I came to Hawaii a
small party was formed to climb to the
summit of Mauna Esa, which means in
English, White mountain. One by one
they backed out until it was abandoned,
Several times since then parties bave
been made up, or rather talked up, but
never succeeded in getting started.
Several of us were determined that we
would go, but being in different lines
of work, could not succeed in getting
off at the same time. The party that
did go consisted of ten men two weeks
before time to Btart. The day before
starting it consisted of four and the day
we started three men were all we had.
Perhaps in one more day all would have
given it up. The first day we got as
fiir as Wahnea. It is the only village
of any importance on the island that is
not on or near the sea. It is tbe bead
quarters of several horse, cattle and
sheep ranchers, the farthest ranch being
more than foriy miles around on the
other side of the mountain. Here we
met our guide, a half-white, and laid
out our plans, or rather be told us what
he thought was the best plan, and as
this was to be his 24th trip we thought
be ought to know what was best. From
Waimea the great mountains of Hawaii
are Been at their best, unless seen from
a ship at sea. Iu front and nearest
comes Manua Ken, and to the right and
farther south Muuna Huallai (8275 ft.)
and botweeu and somewhat obscured by
the other two, being farther south, rises
the summit of Muuna Loa, whoso crater
frequeutly sends out death and de
struction to everything in its way, its
last enper of that kind being in January,
1887.
Next morning we made our start.
Tbe sun was shining bright, but it was
x:ool, and we made good time for some
ten miles over the plains. We then
slowed down for it wus getting hot and
dusty, and besides we began to oorne
across a plentiful supply of wild hogs.
Shooting ou this runoh is strictly "tabu,"
but all the same we had a ritlo bid in
our tent, and now it came out. Three
Colts 4f calibers also assisted in le'ting
the hogs know we were orossiug the
plains. The sport was immense;
squirrel or rabbit hunting is no place.
There is just enough danger to make
it interesting; a wild boar live or six
years old, razor-backed, with tushes
from 2 to 0 inches iu length is an enemy
when wounded or cornered, that an
experienced hunter bas a great deal of
resueot for. If mounted your horse
may be ruined by one charge from b,im,
and if on foot, the tables turned and1
the hunter, the hunted. At noon wL?n
we went into camp tbe rille man bad
five bogs to Lib oredit, and two wounded
which were not bothered. The pistol
men had empty cartridge belts. All
around our oamp were many quail and
plover, but we had noshot-gun. There
were millions of quails until tbe mon
goose were brought into t lie oountry.
Now they are only found far up thesidea
of the mountains. Our camp was as
far up as we could find wood, water
and horse feed. The water was not tbe
lest, nor was the horse feed extra good
The timber was sorubby. It is all i
native wood called "mamane," with i
very fow trees of the "koa" wood, a
hard, beautiful wood, extensively used
iu furniture. We had not perceived
that we had made much of a climb
but ou looking back we could see all
the gulches ou tbe plains, leading to the
sea aud looking like wagon roads. Ou
consulting our aueroid barometer we
found it had gone down from 26.60
Waimea to Hi.iO, out as it went uo
lower than the last figure, even on the
summit, we could not tell at what point
it reached that figure and Btopped.
I had made several readings at known
altitudes and.was going to .try to work
out an approximate altitude tor
number of points, but gave it up when
the machine refused to work. The
thermometer stood at 78 dsgrees at
noon in the shade; at 4 oclocK it was
foggy Bnd down to 62 degrees and
during the night went down to 48
degrees. About miduight we had a
heavy cold rain with thunder and
lightning accompaniment, and which
was snow ou the top. Our tent sprung
several small leaks, and out horses were
restless on account of so uiauy wild
horses, cattle and bogs, getting us out
a numhei of times, and at 4 o'clock,
when we began getting ready for tbe
summit we bad but little sleep to onr

to seleot from. We invite you to inapeot
credit. At 5 o'olock we rode out of
oamp and in a very .short time passed
beyond tbe timber and was above the
limit of vegetation, and soon begun to
realize tbat the climb was a reality.
It was a fine clear, morning, cool even
to coldness, below us the woods, beyond
that the plains reaohing to the sea on
the right and to the Kohala mountains
(5000 ft.) at our backs. At the base
WiMnea oould be seen, wnile to tbe left
Mana showed np fine in the morning
sun. Over tbe top of the Kohala
mountains oould be seen the top of
Haleakala on the island of Maui 75 miles
away, but seemingly only a few miles.
The road now began to grow very steep,
rough and rooky, and muoh cut up by
tbe mountain torrents that must rush
down after heavy rains or a quick thaw.
We realized tbe Value of a guide, now,
saving much time in knowing just
where to cross, where to turn to tbe
right and again to tbe left. Hogs are
rather plentiful, where it would eeem
there was nothing to support life. Two
fell yiotims to, our pistols, the rifle
being left in camp. Stray cattle were
seen almost to the snow line, and bones
of horses, cattle and goats were not
infrequently seen. The only vegetation
was a coarse bunohgrass resembling
wild rye, but one bunch in a place and
many acres without a single bunch to
be seen. It certainly cannot be this
grass that attracts animals. It is more
likely that they are whipped out by
more powerful animal and seek refuge
higher up. In this wild oountry every
thing in the animal line is an enemy to
every weaker animal even in its own
species. They make the night hideous.
When nearly on the summit plateau the
road changes from large rocks to a
light colored, fine grained feldspario
lava, very light in weight, aid mixed
w ith blaok aan In , some places it is
nearly all the Tilaok sand. It is very
loose and is a fine example of erosion
looking for all ftbe world like it had
been plowed and then a wheat drill
just passed over it, the larger and
heavier stones making tbe streaks that
tbe drill teeth would make. The horses
sink to their fetlocks in this at every
step, and slip baok about half of each
step, and suffered very muoh from the
extreme rareness of the atmosphere.
Two of us remembered about a "merciful
man etc," and got down to lead our
horses. In twenty steps we were so
short of breath we could go no farther,
and concluding the "merciful" business
did not work at that height, we mounted
again. The horses from there on had
to have frequent stops, and required
tbe argument of the spurs to get them
along at all. At tbe snow line we
halted for a short rest and a light lunch,
and to see how the horses wonld take
to the snow. They were very thirsty
and tried to eat, but did not do muoh
good at it. They could not understand
the large snow-balls that rolled up on
their feet, and then suddenly left them
with three long legs and one short one.
In going np we bad two objeotive points
Lake Waiau, and tbe highest peak,
from whioh we expected to view tbe
whole island. The sun was shining very
bright and the fresh snow was C inches
deep on an average, and the whitest I
think I ever saw. It was too muoh for
our eyes, bo a black silk handkerchief
was put on uuder our bats and hung
loose over our faces. The central
plateau is about 1300 feet high Bnd
something near five miles one way by
eight miles the othrr way, and is
studded all over tbe top with sand and
cinder cones, most all of which contain
one or more old craters in the top.
Biding around one of these on the
south side of the plateau, we climbed
over the rim of an old orater and before
ourj eyes lay tbe famous Waiau. The
highest peak is to the east of Waian aud
is 770 feet higher. Tbe guide bad
doubts of our being able to get to it on
account of drifted snow, and even if
we did climb it be thought tbe fog
would shut ont any extensive view, so
that part of our program was abandoned.
We remained at the lake an hour,
finished our lunch, indulged in a snow
balling match wbere there were no
windows to bo broken. (My first since
the winter of 87-S8 and the other two
tor a muoh longer time), and cut our
names aud tbe date on a pier of masonry
erected at the lake last year by Prof.
Preston's scientific party for their
pendulum auuliances. Tbe thermometer
behaved in a surprising manner, to us ;
laid ou a rock fully exposed to the
sun, it shot np to 92 degrees in a abort
time, while on the other Bide of the
same rook wonld be frozen snow. Ex
posed to the open air by holding it five
feet from the ground it dropped baok
to 48 degrees and only by burying it
in the snow could we get it down to
o2 degrees, nor did we get it any lower
at any time or plaoe. The temperature
of the water in tbe lake was 42 degrees.
Shortly after leaving w came across
the northeast trade wind blowing full
in our faces, and driving a heavy fog
"head of us. Nearly every afternoon
the lowest ; and we guarautee satisfaction. Also carry a complete stock
onr stock, prices, etc.
the whole mountain is obscured by this
fog. I took the thermometer from my
pocket and held it np at arms length,
when it went down to 36 degrees, but
my bare hand was to me a muoh better
thermometer than mercury, ao I quit
experimenting and put my hands in
my pookts. Had we remained much
longer in the vioinity of Waiau, we
would have found no trouble in getting
it below 32 degrees. A member of
Preston's scientific party who slept at
Waiau, six nights last July, told me
that they had it down to 13 degrees one
night. There was no snow at that time.
I expeot a night party at the time
we were there would have bad no
difficulty in finding the zero mark.
The only life we found on the summit
weretufte of grass, and a kind of a
oross between a fern and a moss at the
lake. Tbe silver sword, a rare "nlAnt
also grows, but in very hard places to
get at, and we saw none. Animal life
was represented by snow spiders and
a kind of a gad fly. We saw dog traoks
where, they had crossed over the top,
but no dogs as they do their traveling
at night. They go wild on this moun
tain and are very numerous and de
structive to sheep and young oalves.
The sheepmen have dog-hunters out
all the time, I only wonder that the
men don't go as wild as the dogs and
other wild animals. I think tbey would
if they remained up there long at a
time.
In coming down the guide led us
by the short outs, and down places that
it would have been impossible for us
to have gone up. Coming down some
of the steep candoones the horses would
half walk, half slide from 10 to 25 feet at
a step. They soon letrned to zigzag
down and gain all that was possible.
On looking back our track was very
plain ' and looked more like some
monster plow had oome down, than
horse and rider bad made such marks.
Perhaps next day not a mark was to be
seen, the natural drift of thia loose sand
oovering it all over. Though still very
high, the same two of us again tried
the "merciful man" business and found
it very different from our first experience
in that line. We walked down three or
four miles feeling fine, but could not
have walked np fifty feet without being
out of breath. Before reaohing oamp
several hogs got in our road, and after
getting some rib-roasts, the rest of their
bones were left to bleach. We made
camp about 3 o'olock. The first thing
was to get something to eat. We all
had fair appetites but the guide be
stowed away more than I ever before
thought the human body would hold.
I will not attempt to enumerate. The
camp-tender had a pig on tbe fire
roasting when we got in, tbat would
bave weighed 30 or 3d pounds on foot.
The two of them got away with it all,
to say nothing of the sbip's-bread,
corned beef, potatoes, ooffee aud suoh
relishes. Tbe platter was linked clean
and we "poor white trash" still left
hungry. About this time we began to
find out that we were pretty badly sun
burned, or weather burned, for the sun
hud not shined on our faces at all, on
account of broad-rimmed bats, borrowed
for the occasion. We did not care much
for sun-burns and were inclined to
congratulate ourselves on having es
caped all the mountain terrors of head
ache, nose bleeding and mountain
sickness, as well as baying tbe
knowledge that we all had sound lungs,
for no man with weak lungs can climb
this mountain. But we"reckoued with
out our host." At 8 o'clock we wore all
in and I was sound asleep. About an
hour later one of the horses got loose
and made s dash past the tent. Two of
us jumped out, but I found that I was
stone blind, oould cot even see the
big fire tbat was burning near tbe tent.
My eyelids were like sand paper and
cut the balls at every move. I sat and
held tbem open with my fingers, but
then the balls would roll which was
just as bad. The other fellow got the
horse, and in half an hour was just as
bad. The third man had not been asleep
at all. We all now suffered the most
excruciating pain. Tbe hot water
streamed out of our eyes in snob
quantities as to wet our handkerohiefs,
and later on towels. I wanted to get
tbe guide np and make for Waimea, but
was voted down and told tbe chances
were good for staying in oamp all next
day. Had tbat bave been necessary
I am sure my bones would be there yet.
One wet bis handkerchief with the
cold tea grounds and thought it gave
relief. We then began .bathing our
eyes in cold water, whiob proved very
soothing to two of us and in about
three hours, which seemed more like
three weeks, I dropped off to sleep and
did not wake again tor two hours. I
lay for some time deciding w bat to do,
for while most of the pain was gone I
was afraid tbat the sight bad not come
back and tbat opening and dosing them
might set 'the pain going again. I
knew I could not lay there always, so I
forced them wide open and could see

Two of us Were in fair oondition next
morning, eyes weak, but nothing more
serious.. The ether had slept none
during the night and was still almost
totally blind, had been and was still
suffering agonies. Onr guide, who
slept in a oave, near by, we found had
been as bad ss we, had slept but little.
Said he had neyer been that way before,
and never saw any jarty of his 24
affected in a similar manner. This
broke up the reBt of our.program and we
made a bee-line for home, where we
arrived at 5 p. m. Our faces were so
swollen and red that we were reoognized
only by our horses. I stayed in the
house for three days and was in fair
oondition after thr.t. Mr. B. began to
get bis sight about this time. He was
getting a little frightened for he had
been blind for sisf months some years
ago. Mr. C. was not presentable for
more than a week and then with a
handkerchief over, his face, below his
eyes. He suffered most from after
effects. And bow happy the ones who
wanted to go and oould not get, away.
Tbe trip to the top can not be said to
be one of yery great pleasure. I would
not allow my horse to go agan for all
he is worth. Still after we all got around
to ourselves again, we were glad that
we bad been, but with our knowledge
we do not care to go again. The trip
is much easier made during the summer
months, there being no snow at that
that time.
The whole formation and texture of
tbe mass of Mauna Kea is very old,
there being no signs of volcanic action iu
recent times. There is no tradition in
native mythology of any time when it
was in a state of eruption. The very
last act of a dying volcano seems to be
throwing out great cones of loose black
sand, whioh is certainly tbe case here.
It was on the summit of Manna Kea
that Noah and his ark landed. He
went to sea in a "laau," a kind of craft
as broad as it was long and as deep in
water as it was high above. Tbe name
of this Hawaiian Noah does not seem
very certain. Their tradition, however,
bears a very close lesemblanoe to the
bible story of tbe same wet spell. All
over the top are to be found ancient
graves, one rocky oone oalled Lilinoe,
over 13,000 feet, having a great many.
In olden times it was very common
practice for the natives of the surround
ing oountry to oarrv np the bones of
their deceased friends for burial,
eommon earth burial not being practi
cal at all. Caves in tbe side of tbe
mountains are also popular places of
burial. A visit to one of these was a
part of our plans, but waj left ont on
account of our inoapaoity. It has men
in it today just as they were placed
years ago, with their pipes, and traveling
outfits, some standing up against the
wall and other sitting. It is bard to
get the natives to guide anyone to this'
cave. Our guide promised to take us
to it, but very postively refused to enter
it. He said bis promise beld good in
the future for us and we yet intend to
pay it a visit.
The lake on tbe summit is a kind 'of
a Hawaiian meoca. Just what qnalities
it is said to possess I do not know. No
curative qualities is olaimed for it, nor
does it make the old young, or the
dead live. The "Aliis" or chiefs seems to
have more regard tor its qualities than
the ordinary run of Kanakas. No Alii
would think of going np and coming
away without a plunge in its waters,
no difference what kind of weather is
found. In 1S83 Queen Emma and a
party of 40 spent a whole dap up .there
and all of royal blood bathed, while
both royal and plebean blood bathed
themselves in whisky and had a "royal"
time. Our guide carried down a

and three-quarter acres in extent. It is
very clear and pure, being supplied by
melted snow. Wo fish are found in its
water, nor do any wild ducks and geese
frequent it, though there are millions
of them only a few miles away in the
middle ground between the three
mountains. Its depth has never been
measured, for the reason that no oraft
to navigate its waters has ever been
taken up. For this reason, perhaps,
its depth is supposed to be something
fabulous; in fact it is usually supposed
to have no bottom. It is 13,050 feet
higher than the level of the sea, so that
only a few bodies of water in the world
are as high as Waiau. They. are found
on the Himalaya mountains of Asia and
on the Plateau of Pamir.
