FOURTH OF JULY ACCIDENT
Source: The Polynesian. Honolulu: July 13, 1844, page 30.
An accident-lucky we-and a fourth of July one- really that
reads as if we were still in the land of Yankeedom. But to the accident. A
friend of ours had his arm badly burnt by a blue-light while engaged in
illuminating in honor of the day, and it gives us the greatest satisfaction to
state, that there is every prospect of the arm being in a condition to burn or
be burnt again long before another 4th comes around again.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
On the afternoon of the 4th, a young American was
seen going down toward the sea-side. The last that was observed of him was near
evening; he was near one of the wharves. –Since then he has not been found.
