The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., July 25, 1916
CABRAL, JOAQUIN SILVA
HONOLULU WHARF WORKER DROWNED.  Joaquin Silva Cabral, wharf worker brought from 
Honolulu to Kauai by the Lord Young Engineering Co. in connection with their 
reconstruction of the Waimea wharf, was drowned while swimming in the Waimea river 
last Sunday. The employees under Superintendent McDonald had worked during the 
morning, and after knocking off for the day, a number went in the water near the 
mouth of the river for a plunge. Cabral, when last seen by two of his mates, was 
about 150 yards further down the river than they and apparently wading in water 
not more than breasthigh. The two companions, however, observed him to disappear 
below the water and without thinking anything amiss, resumed their aquatic 
disputations when they realized that Cabral had not reappeared. Upon investigating 
the immediate vicinity of the accident, no sign of the man could be seen, and it 
was not until some 15 or 20 minutes later that a Hawaiian named Kaweheiwa brought 
up the body. Prompt efforts at restoration of life failed. The coroner's jury 
yesterday brought in a verdict of accidental drowning. The dead man leaves a wife 
in Honolulu.
