LEAKING.-The bark HoogIey, Cole, which went to sea Dec.
IL, returned on the 18th leaking in the bows and stern. Her
crew also refused duty.
The whaling bark Prudent, of Greenport, was found to be
leaking badly, having five feet water in her hold. On examina-
ton it was found that an attempt had been made to scuttle her
by boring an anger hole through her bow, about three feet below
water mark. She has been repaired.
The ship Great Republic was loading at New York for Cali
fornia, and would sail about 18th or Goth November. There is
some prospect that we may see her this way.

DIsNAsrED.-The whale ship Benjamin Tucker, of
New Bedford, Capt. Barber, came in port last Satur-
day, under jury masts. having encountered a severe
hurricane, ON the 3rd of November, the same gale
that dismasted the Italy, in which she lost b~owsprit,
all her fore and main masts, and mizen topmast,
leaving her an unmanageable wreck with only her
mizen mast standing. For fourteen days the sea was
so rough and the vessel rolled so that it was impossi-
BILE to stand up without holding on to the rail. Yet
during this time the vessel was rugged out with jury
fore and main masts with topmasts and square sails
set, which brought her into smoother water. Capt.
Barber and his officers deserve great credit for their
skill in rigging up the ship with broken spars. spliced
rope, and torn sails, in the fine style she came into
our port. Several old captains, who have been
through many such accidents, said they had never
seen a vessel rugged out at sea so securely, and
thought she could safely venture another voyage
across the Pacific. She viii be reftted at this port,
at an expense of perhaps $4,000 or 50, 900, and be
ready for sea in two months. Capt. Barber has furn-
ished as with the particulars of the accident, which
viii be found among the marine memoranda.

Mr.. EDITOR The public has looked in vain for
an answer from Mr.. Perrin to the two letters pub
lished in your paper of the 4th of December.
When kings are bending in respect before public
opinion, how does q Commissioner dare to remain
mute before its bar. Is there any nan of the least
responsibility, in this community, who would thus
hide his head, when publicly accused of the deeds
with which I have reproached Mr.. Perrins Is there
no blood in his veins to redden the forehead of the
French Plenipotentiary? Will his silence not tar
nish the glorious feat of having on the occasion of nv
suspension, struck me numerically, in his office I,
an old man, weakened by fever at the time, to whom
the justice of this country answered the diplomatic
character of your assailant places him above cur
reach Does he not owe to me some sort of thanks
for having prevented my boys from breaking his head,
which would have been the cowardly act of knocking
at nothing.
The governmental organ having then refused my
letter on this base assault, I hope that your indie
pendent organ will not be forbidden to insert the
present one. I remain yours, &c.,

Bark Italy, of Greenpcrt.

LAHAINA, Dec. 10, 1906.
MEssRs. EDITORS 1t is with pleasure that we re-
port the arrival here this morning of the bark Italy,
of Greenport. The Italy has been reported as lost,
and fears were entertained that such was the case, as
she was much later than all the others who left the
whaling ground about the same time.
Capt. Weld informs us that he left the 70 passage
Oct. I'd, had contrary winds and on the Sd Nov. ex-
perienced a heavy gale of wind and lost ~bowsprit,
head of fore mast and all above it, rail, stanchions,
boats, &C., leaving the vessel a complete
wreck. He succeeded however in rigging up spars, &C.,
so as to enable him to carry sail, ard has arrived
with 1900 barrels oil on board. Three natives of the
islands have died with the seurvy on the passage in.
The bark will go down to Honolulu in a day or two.

THURSDAY, DEC. ID, 1856.

There has been an active demand for all kinds of island pro-
duce, which still continues, and in most articles Of domestic pro-
duce the supply is very limited. The Post which sails to-day,
takes some $50 barrels Of oil from the Nantfcon, being the
salvors' portion, $50 bales pulu, and $4,000 oranges. The re-
ports Of the San Francisco market are considered favorable for
shipments, of most kinds of produce. The ship Gladiator sailed
on Saturday last with a full cargo of oil and bone, which will be
found in our expert list.
An extensive sale of assorted mdse took place On Friday and
Monday at the store of Messrs. Won Holt & Heuck. at which
prices ruled low.
We notice the following transactions and prices IN staples:
FLOUR-No change in quotations last given, So. There is
no foreign in market, and the demand for Hawaiian still con-
tinues somewhat ahead of the capacity of the mill for supplying.
COFFEE-Yery little in the market we quote at 12Ic for
green.
SUGARS-6c "a &c. The demand for the shipping in port
has reduced the stock, and it commands SC 90 &c readily.
MOLAsSES-None in the market last sales at Bic.
PROVISIONS-Pork S2S "a $50 American beef SIS "a S26;
Hawaiian SIS. 1t is quite probable that the Yankee or Fanny
Major will bring supplies.
BREAD-Stockv very light, 10c "a 12&c.
RICE-Stock much reduced by shipment to California
Manila No. /, &c; China No.. 1. &c.
~PULU-Large quantities offering with few purchasers. There
is a six months supply in San Francisco; last sales made there
at SC.
OLIVE hear of offers of 6Oc for polar and that may be con-
sidered a low quotation.
BUILDING MATERIALS-No transactions. The only sale
we hear of is that of $4,000 feet white pine ex Messenger Bird
on private terms.
SHINGLES-Shaved red wood SIS "a SIS so.
Observation-Disclosures bills we quote at par. 1t is rumored
that the Government Sxpect advices by the next mail from New
York, authorizing the Minister of Finance to draw on account of
the loan effected by Mr.. Allen. The loan viii amount to $780,
900.
M0NEY.-We learn from various quarters that silver dollars
and quarters are becoming so scarce as to be a serious incon-
that the silver is sent to China. Gold however, particularly
twenty dollar pieces, is very abundant.

Mr.. EDIToR-It is a little singular that with all
the gossip of this little town, one-half knows so little
of what the other half is doing-agriculturaIly at
least. A paragraph in your last speaks of the okra
as a new thing here.
The writer of this saw it in the garden of Mrs.
Godfrey Rhodes on Kauai a year and a half ago, and
has since several times seen it cultivated by others in
Honolulu. So with the cGc0o tree spoken of in last
weeks Po1ynesi0n. IF not naturalized, it has been
a denizen here for many years, as any one can seeby
looking in at Mr.. Gilliland's place by the lower bridge
in Nuuanu Valley. G. S,
