The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 3-3-1914
MADARANG, NORTUNATA
CHILD DROWNED WHILE SURFING.  Nortunata Madarang, a Filipino girl, 12 years old, 
was drowned in the sea at Kahaukomo near Hanamaulu about 10 o'clock Sunday 
morning. A Filipino woman who was with the girl at the time and went to a 
fruitless rescue was no nearly drowned that she is still in the hospital in a 
delicate condition. The little girl went out with the woman, the girl's father, 
and some other men, the girl and woman to swim in the surf and the men to fish 
near the scene. The girl was wading in water scarcely over her knees when she was 
suddenly struck by a high wave, and before she could recover her feet, was washed 
into deep water. The woman could not swim at all but made a brave effort at rescue 
and came near losing her own life. The men, hearing the cries for help, hurried to 
the scene and saved the woman, but when the girl was brought ashore, life was 
already extinct. Sheriff Ellis took the body of the dead child and the helpless 
woman to the hospital, and the Sheriff was notified.
