(Pacific Commercial Advertiser, June 21, 1897)
Lieutenant Needham, of the police force, received a letter Sunday from a relative living in Kaupo, Maui, to the effect that a native woman had fallen from a pali near that place, last week, and was instantly killed.
It seems that early in the evening her husband and his sister had gone to Waipu, a place near Kaupo, to fish. This is just at the foot of a high pali, and looks over in the direction of Nuu. Thev had been fishing but a short time, when something heavy was heard to strike the ground not many feet behind them, and the sister, thinking a goat had fallen from the pali, told her brother to go and look. He did so, and was horrified to find the body of his wife. The fall had rendered every spark of life extinct.
It is thought that the woman had gotten lonely at home and had gone out in search of her husband. Coming to the pali she had leaned over to see the spot where the fishing was going on, made a misstep and fallen over.
