Adelaide Ka`ai, 85 years old "Where the Ala Wai (Canal) is (today) was all swamp. All that area was swamp down to Kalakaua (Avenue)... ...there were no houses, just a few houses here and there, but was all swamp with those tall weedy things and ducks... Just get off the streetcar and go through the bulrushes and find, (chuckles) and come home holding our blouses full of duck eggs..."
