The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., Jan. 12, 1915
AH TUCK
DROWNED OFF THE WAINIHA LANDING.  Ah Tuck, a rice planter of Wainiha, fell from 
the landing at Wainiha bay about 7 o'clock Thursday evening and was drowned. The 
body was found Saturday afternoon. This morning the coroner's jury completed its 
investigation and returned a verdict of accidental drowning. The Chinaman, 
accompanied by another man and a boy, went down to the landing to fish for crabs. 
Ah Tuck was engaged in drawing his net in for the third time when he fell 
overboard. The small Hawaiian boy, aged 13, bravely plunged in after the 
struggling man, caught hold of him, and tried to drag him out, but the Chinaman 
gripped the boy in such a way that both were in danger of drowning. The man on 
shore called to the boy to break away, which he succeeded in doing, and just in 
time, too, for he was almost exhausted when he reached the landing again.
