  Mrs.

  de

  JN~ux,

  swarms 
  of 
  Saturday 
  and 
  Sunday, 
  May 
  20 
  and 
  21, 
  

   that 
  she 
  noted 
  the 
  times 
  of 
  the 
  stronger 
  shocks 
  in 
  the 
  after- 
  

   noon 
  and 
  evening 
  of

  One 
  Maeda, 
  a 
  Japanese 
  living 
  in 
  the 
  Mohokea 
  hills 
  (a 
  large 
  

   ancient 
  crater) 
  five 
  miles 
  (8 
  km.) 
  nearer 
  the 
  lava 
  source 
  than 
  

   Hilea, 
  felt 
  more 
  and 
  stronger 
  earthquakes 
  than 
  the 
  in- 
  

   habitants 
  of 
  Hilea. 
  He 
  reported 
  thirty 
  strong 
  shocks 
  in 
  three 
  

   hours 
  on 
  the 
  evening 
  of 
  May 
  20. 
  On 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  neither 
  

   Waiohinu 
  nor 
  Pahala, 
  respectively 
  eight 
  and 
  six 
  miles 
  from 
  

   Hilea, 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  it, 
  and 
  both 
  on 
  the 
  Mauna 
  Loa 
  flank, 
  

   felt 
  any 
  such 
  number 
  of 
  shocks 
  as 
  were 
  reported 
  from 
  Hilea. 
  

   Waiohinu, 
  an 
  equal 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  lava 
  source 
  with 
  Hilea, 
  

   reported 
  on 
  the 
  evening 
  of 
  May 
  20 
  " 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  shocks 
  in 
  the 
  

   last 
  two 
  days." 
  An 
  overseer 
  in 
  the 
  upper 
  Waiohinu 
  sugar 
  

   fields, 
  however, 
  reported 
  several 
  earthquakes 
  felt 
  in 
  the 
  open 
  

   on 
  the 
  afternoon 
  of 
  May 
  20. 
  Pahala 
  for 
  May 
  20 
  reported 
  

   " 
  an 
  earthquake 
  this 
  morning." 
  The 
  middle 
  Kona 
  district 
  on 
  

   the 
  west 
  flank 
  of 
  Mauna 
  Loa 
  reported 
  two 
  earthquakes 
  on 
  the 
  

   morning 
  of 
  the 
  20th. 
  It 
  was 
  evident, 
  therefore, 
  that 
  the 
  posi- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  Hilea 
  on 
  a 
  line 
  at 
  right 
  angles 
  to 
  the 
  lava 
  rift 
  opposite 
  

   the 
  point 
  of 
  emission, 
  was 
  peculiarly 
  sensitive 
  to 
  the 
  jarring 
  of
