Makiki Station. 



The work done at this station has been principally routine. 

 Owing to heavy rains, which caused the stream to overflow and 

 cut up the road, we were obliged to blast out a number of rocks 

 in the bed of the stream and build a wall to prevent further 

 damage. The work was done by the men working on the water- 

 shed.
