At about 1:00 or 1:30 P.M. on the cloudy and windy afternoon of March 4, 1958, plaintiff, a 56-year old woman in "pretty good" health, noticed that it had started to rain as she was about to leave her apartment in Waikiki at the corner of Kuhio Avenue and Lewers Road. She reentered the apartment for her umbrella. She then walked down the sidewalk on the southerly (makai) side of Kuhio Avenue, in a Diamond Head, or easterly, direction toward Royal Hawaiian Avenue. She was carrying a Quantas airplane bag over her right shoulder containing $15 in silver and pennies, $15 in currency, some cookies, a thermos bottle of milk, a small jar of vegetables and a sandwich. Cradled in her left arm was her business ledger book.*fn1 In her right hand she tilted her umbrella so as to keep the rain from her trifocal glasses, which were wet.
