The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 8-24-1915
KAWASHIGE, KUICHI
SUFFOCATED IN ASH BOX.  While playing hide and seek with five other children of
about 
his own age, Kuichi Kawashige, aged eight years of Koloa, decided to hide in one of

the iron ash boxes which are used by the Koloa mill, and when the boy lowered
himself 
down into one, he immediately sank and was engulfed in the powdery substance. His 
playmates, 15 or 20 minutes later, noticed his hand projecting above the ash surface

but when the body was drawn out, life was extinct.
