Believe it or not, but the old traditions and legends of beautiful Hawaii bear a striking resem- blance to ancient Jewish ones. which leads some authorities to believe that in this island para- dise live the descendants of the lost tribe of Israel. who braved the wide Pacific Ocean to find a new home on the waves. I

Now let us examine those tradi- tions and legends and see how they compare with the Old Testa- ment stories.

The Hawaiians tell of a great flood which took place long. long ago. This “Sea of Hlnalii." as the flood was called. destroyed all the island life save that of one holy man and his family who rode out the deluge in ti great,’ water boat Wl’ll(‘ll was built at the direction of the gods. When the; Sea of Hinalii subsided, the wa-: her boat came to rest on the peak’ of Manua Ken. Duos it not soundl like the story of Nnah'.' l

The two kittens crouched in the corner. their fur standing on end and their eyes popping. But there was not another sound to be heard so they quieted down at last. As for Mrs. Biddy. she was startled at first. but. after she thought it over. she became very annoyed. All that morning. she walked a- bout the barnyard. clucking and complaining about foolish kittens who had nothng better to do than frightened a hard working hen half to death.

And strange but true, Hawaii had amongst its characters a demigod named Maui who made the sun stand still so that his mo- ther's taps cloths might dry before dark.

The Biblical story of Jonah and the whale has its counterpart in the Hawaiian versions of the prophet. Naulaa. who. when cap- sized from his canoe, was im- mediately swallowed up by a whale, which later vomited him up on the beach at Wailiia. it's Joseph whose P.\'pl(lllS so paralled those of his Biblical autotype that it caused the missionaries to raise bewildered eyebrows.
