The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 11-21-1922
PUA, OLIVA
SAILOR ON LIKELIKE KILLED AT KILAUEA.  Oliva Pua, age 25 years, a sailor on the 
inter-island steamer Likelike, was instantly killed last Saturday afternoon at 
Kilauea. Pua was a member of the boat crew that was bringing a line from the 
steamer to a buoy. The boat was probably surfing in with the line and in doing so 
struck a rock. Pua was standing up in the boat and was thrown forward when the 
boat struck and his head hit one of the iron supports of the boat's seats, 
fracturing his skull. He was taken to the Kilauea hospital where it was found that 
death was instantaneous. He is survived by a mother living in Koloa, and the body 
was brought to Koloa on Sunday for burial. After the accident, the rest of the 
crew refused to bring the line ashore from the steamer, claiming that there was a 
kahuna on the Kilauea landing. Three of the men were seriously injured in a 
somewhat similar manner about a year ago. []
