CHAPTER XXIX.
The iiltad of Mui lie* northwest
•f Hawaii, a distance o! twenty-eight
vile*. It lies southeast of Molokai a
*2 is tan oe of about eight miles. The
distance from Honolulu to the Tillage
of Wail aim is about one hundred
miles.
To reach Wsiluka, which is near the
northeastern coast of Maui, we passed
. to the wrath of Molokai, and there
fore between that island and Lanai.
I kept a lookontfor this hated place,
and from the moment we came in
eight of it until we h*d passed it, 1
kept a glass leveled at it, soanniug the
mountain slopes for aigns of life.
Gordon stood by my side, and I
pointed out to him the flssnre in the
rock through whioh I had reached the
Temple of the Olietening Rock.
"There is one thing that is utterly
surprising," I said to him. 'The
night Patua, the fisherman, rowed me
from Kannakakai to Lanai, the dis
tance seemed enormous. In faot,
from the shores of Molokai, I could
not see Lanai at all. Yet now we are
in the channel, about midwsy between
the two, and neither seems more than
four miles away. Surely I should
have seen that high mountain for eight
■siles." *
"Undoubtedly," replied Gordon.
"But the distance is greater than you
think. It is probably eight miles from
Molokai to Lanai, between the two
nearest points. But you must remem
i ber that Rannakaki ia not the nearest
point or Molokai to Lanai. The dis
tance i* no doubt fourteen to sixteen
miles. When yoh went there it was
at nigbA. 80 Ido not think there is
much to wonder at."
"Xo. If your geography is correct,
it clears my mind. I began to fesr
that the confounded island really bad
aome mysterious power in it,- and bad
moved nearer the other islands."
"It is near enough now," replied
Gordon, savagely, "until we purge it
of some of its monstrosities."
"Another thing, Gordon,">.l said.
"I fail to note any aigm of a violent
eruption. There ia nothing to be seen
of any volcanio disturbance now."
"No, it is probably all over. It may
have been very severe, and yet not
leave any trace that you could see
from here. When we get there ws
shall find them."
We sailed through Psilolo Strait and
cane to anchor in Kabului Bay.
Wailuku is one of the most nourish
ing villages in Hawaii. It is situated
oa the bank of a small river of th«
same nam* flowing in Kahnlui Bay,
and is at the eastern end of the Wail,
uku Valley. This valley extends
westerly into • high, ragged, moun
tainous region, full of inaccessible
heights and easily overlooked hiding
plaoes. The verdure on the mountain
is thin and laaut, but everything
crows luxuriantly iu the Wailukn
—-.Valley.
In Wailuku the streets are peculiar
ia that they take their shape from the
bonds of the river bank or the nearby
mountaius, and are winding and
rambling, having apparently no defi
nite direction. There are however, a
few broad, straight roads or avenues,
lined with palms, stretching their
lengths through the best portions of
the town, often cutting into and oblit
erating for a space smaller, winding
street.
The population of Wailukn is mixed,
and a like variety appears in the ar
chitecture of the place. Most of the
• bouses are grass huts and are ooou
pied by natives.
The grass hut of Wrilnkn is topical
of the native abode in all the islands.
It ia simply a thatch root on four
posts, sometimes supplied with walls
of like material, and often left open
oa all sides. In the open huts the
roof comes hearly to the ground at ths
sides, thus answering all the purpose*
pf wads for protection from the rain.
IThese huts have but one room, and to,
.this room ths entire .housekeeping;
performances of the natives are con
fined, unless, as in a great many case?,
most of their work and eating is done
out of doors.
Oa some of the streets are scattered
honsss built on lava rook, or wood,
\ood being preferred as cooler and
iess liable to retain dampness. These
are occupied by Japanese, Portugese
aid Chinese, who work on large sugar
plantations in the vioinity, and are
usually surrounded by a porch.
On the main streets there are a few
really commodious houses, built for
ths most part of eoral, and are occu
pied by the few French and German
residents that Wailuku boasts.
But the masterpiece of architecture
in Wailuku ia the Wailuku Female
Seminary, which occupies three or
four very line coral buildings just out.

"Oh, T knowalt about that. It's got

by Frenchmen and Germans, and •
seminary that has a few pupils, now
and then, that learn arithmetic and
grammar and, if tbsre nre tourists
here, how to flirt."
"Xouseuse," said Gordon. "Lasl
year there were thirty-seven pupils in
the school, and they refleet credit on
ths institution and on Hawaii. Ton
are mistaksn about this place."
"But it can't compare with Oahu,
Maui can't"
"It never had tho chance," said
Gordon.
"AAd Honolulu Wouldn't raise a
scamp like this Jean Chicot." " -
"Honolulu has raised plenty just ai
bad. You are away off, Jollroy.
There is a great future for Wailukn."
Happily, one of the first buildings
we struck when we reached the town
was an inn. We refreshed ourselves,
and Gordon gave his men the opportu
nity to do the same.'
The keeper of ths hotel was a Ger
man. Gordon hsd been to this vil
lage before and hsd mst Mein Host
Finckel. Beacamp had met him in
Honolulu.
"Ah, ha, my friend Finckel!" Sea
camp exclaimed, when we entered.
"l'ou have distinguished company.
Look out for yourself."
"Mein Gott, geutlemens!" ev
clsimed Finckel, looking askance at the
soldiers. "Vat was dose matters?"
"Nothing that you need be alarmed
■V'said Gordon. "Bring us plenty
to cat and.driuk."
"Yah! Bight avay quick." Andho
was as good as his word.
"Look here, Finckel," said Gor
don, attacking the viands. "We are
looking for one Jean Chicot,,who lived
here twenty years ajo. gbd, perhaps,
does the same to-day."
The German rolled his eyes.
"You look for das Frenchman!
Mein Gott! I nefer looks for him.
He is no goot. He is a bad one, Jean
Chicot."
"You knew him, then?"
'*l knew him ten years ago. Yah,
das is it. Ten year 1 been here. He
vas a liar and a t'ief. Ah, I know
him."
"Where is he now?" I asked ea
ferly.
Finckel shrugged his shoulders.
"Himuiel! I vould not like to be
gompelled to auswer dot. Der Satan
couldn't tell where Jean Chicotisnow.
He vent avay long time ago."
"How long?"
"Ten years."
"Oh, now say, Finekel, old man,"
said Heacamp, "that won't do at all,
you know. You came here ten years
ago, and knew Chicot well, found him
to be a liar and a thief, yet he disap
peared ten years ago—when you came.
Now think. Don't get rattled. You
Dutchmen can't seem to keep your
heads on your shoulders ten minutes
at a time. An American never gets
rattled like that."
"Ncinl You Americans be very
glever. Vait. Let me t'ink. Ah!
Nine year ago he vent avay."
"Aud his family?" I said. "Is his
wife living?"
"I nefer saw his wife. He say she

"He had adanghter. Didyouknou
anything about her?"
"Ah!" said Herr Finckel, with a
groan. "I hsf heard aomedinksabonti

"Did you kuow her name?"
. "I nefer know."
" Whero did Chicot work when you
knew him?" I asked.
"He rorked mitSpreckels."
"Good. We can .trace him from
thero," said Gordon.
CHAPTEB XXX.
We left the soldiers encamped on
the river bank, and went 1 to the
Hpreokels's plantation headquarters on
Maui. We askod for the superintend
ent. A tall, stout fellow came to us,
|nd cordially greeted us.
"I know you, gentlemen, though
yon may not Inow me," he said.
"Everybody knows General Gordon,
and anybody who has been in Hon
olulu aud has failed to stop with Mr.
Heacamp has missed sometbiug. And
Mr. Walriugford's severe loss is known
to all of ns."
"Just so," said Seacainp. "Ths
American Hotel, once the Nuuanu, is
the finest hotel in all Hawaii. It is
American through and through. You
"get good Ameii-an wines there, and
)rou get good American care. Let me
give you one of my new cards.,"
"Wo didn't come here to advertise
your hotel, Seocsmp," said Gordon.
"I will nxplaiu." he said to the super
intendent. "We are trying to find
one Jean Chicot, believed to have
l»»n in your employ ten years ago."
"I was not here ten years ago," said
the superintendent. "I was at that
time on the Spreckels place in Hawaii.
But the overseer has been here a good
many years longer than I have. We
will have him up and ask bim."
We went into the private office of
the superintendent, and he sent for
\ ths overseer.
"Mr. Peters," said ths superinten
dent, when the overseer appeared, "do
you recollect any one by the name of
Chicot—Jean Chioot, having worked
on ths plantation about ten year-*
■go?" ,
"Why, yes; ovary body that wo* here

founded lunatio used to give us morn
trouble than all the 'Japs' and 'Gees*'
we ever had."
"Strange acting, was he?" I asked.
"Strange! He war a oroiy loon. Ha
used to go through all sorts of moan
inga and oontortions, even while at
work. And he wasn't here more than
half the time. He would disappear
about every two weeks and would be
gono a few days and oomeback crazier
than ever. Finally he went away for
good. Never came book. And nobody
is sorry."
"You think he was really craiy, or
might he be shamming?" asked Gor*
don.
"Well—he's Frenob," replied ths
overseer.
"I stem to be fatsd to deal with
cranks," I said. "What kind of a
looking fellow was this Chicot?"
"A small, dark man, with white
hair."
"No one has seen him sinoe he dis
appeared?"
"I have not. Jim Orcntt, the time
keeper, once saw him up the Wailuku
Valley. Orcutt was up fishing in the
pools above the falls,and Chicot passed
him. Orcutt is near by if you want
hTm."
"Have him oome here," said the
superintendent.
Orcutt appeared.
"How long ago was it, Orcutt, that
you saw Jesu Chioot up the valley?"
asked the superintendent.
"About three or four years ago,
sir," was the reply.
"Can you reoali the cirouinstanoos
listinotly?"
"All there was to it. I was sitting
on a rook fishing in the Nairn pool,
the big one above the falls, and Chicot
ranie along walking up the valley.
He saw me, and turned off in tho
woods. I called him, but he did
not answer. I don't know where he
went."
"How did ho 100k?" asked Gordon.
"Did he seem to be suffering from
want or privation?"
"No; he looked all right. Anyhow,
Chioot had a little money savgd, and
could buy what he wanted."
"But where? If he came to town lia
would be seen, aud no one seems to
know anything about bim," I said.
"He wouldn't need to cotuo to town.
There's considerable travel up uh.l .
down the valley. There is quite n
comfortable settlement of natives up
the valley. They come and go. Ho
could get bis supplies from thein."
"Did you know anything about his
family?" Gordon asked.
Peters looked at me and hesitated.
"Do not bo afraid to speak of what
you know," I said. "Thore are uo
secrets."
"Well, he used to tell as that if ho
bad his rights he would be rich," con
tinued Peters. "He said that his
daughter was the wife of Mr. Warring
ford, onod the owner of Sugar Hea 1
Plantation, and had beeu choated out
of her dower."
"Indeed?" I roplied. "Anything
more?"
"No; that is all he ever eaid of his
family matters."
"That much wasprotty well known,"
said the overseer. "Warringford w.ii
a good-natured fellow, very rich, aud
the Ohicots got in on hiui as long as
he'd stand it. When ho shut down
on them, his wife left him, anil took, I
believe, a baby daughter with ber.
Shortly afterward Warringford sold
Sugar I(ead to Spreckels and weut
away."
"Thai daughter!" I said. ">Vns
anything ever known about her?"
"No. The country was wilder then
than it is now. Tlicro wore strange
things going on all the time. Kadi
of us was satisfied to get along himuclf
without bothering about other peo
ple."
"Then thero is nothing more you
can say that will assist us?" I asked.
"No, sir."
"Very well. I thank you for what
you have done."
"There is but one thing to do," said
Gordon. "We must go up to the
Wailukn Valley and search for Jeau
Chicot."
. "You do not think, then, that it
would be of auy uso to oontiuue our
investigations at Wailuku?" I said.
"No. What could oome of
that? This Chioot is the nsau we want.
It seems lo be certain that it he Is
alive he is- up the valley. We would
lose time wsiting for information at
Wailukn. No one would know any
thing about him save the natives bo
deals with, and we know enough about
them to be sure they will tell us noth>
ing."
"True," I said. "Let us go up the
Wailuku Valley."
"Yes. Come on," said Seaoamp.
"Let's find that nest of the reptiles up
there and tie them all to stakes and
burn them unless they tell ns where
the old devil is biding. do they
live way up there for? Some delicious
rascality, yon may bet. Come on. I'll
■hoot a few of them myself with a
good grace."
We thanked the superintendent, and
went back to the soldiers.
Early the next morning we sot out
i>u our march up the valley.
The place was rich in picturesque
romance.
The river, clear, limpid water, flow
ing gently to the sea; on or.a sido
great lava precipices frowning aul
awe-imposing; on the other, lava
ilopes up high inouutains, covered
with scanty forests; in the valley, rich
verdure, beautiful flowers and soft,
