[meteorite-list] OT: 1859 aurora in HI

[tracy latimer]

Our librarian is searching for information relating to an aurora that 
supposedly was visible from the Hawaiian islands (all right, the Sandwich 
Islands) in 1859.  She has searched all the available local records, 
newspapers, genealogies and accounts, but has come up blank.  Something like 
an aurora should have been pretty spectacular to be seen in Hawaii; does 
anyone have other resources she might check?

Thanks!
