the wrecked vessel which lay on the reef before the
cocoanut grove Of Waikiki. The brig lies in smooth

which she received in going on shore, her hull re-
NAMED sound for nearly forty-eight hours. showing
that she was a very strong vessel and fit for good SER

Lot Kamehameha started off at ten O'Clock p. in
the steam tug, to render all the assistance possible,
and with a selfsacri6ce Of comfort aud ease which is
commeudable, remained on board, working like q

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURsDAY. DECEMBER %.

The whaling season of 1858 may DO considered
as closed, although several vessels which have been
looked for are still out. Their catchings, how
ever, cannot materially alter the aspects OF thean-
nual review which we now give. Our list on the
fourth page, which gives the report OF each YES
sci, shows that quite a number (22) have gone on
Southern cruises without touching here. Those
vessels will probably touch here in the spring and
ship their oil and bone.
The whole number of whalers arriving at these
islands during the fall of 1858 has been 2Is, viz

KILLED by LIGHrSING.-It is seldom that deaths
occur on these islands from lightning. During the
storm on Thursday night. a native woman was killed
by n stroke of lightning on Waikiki Plains, near the
residence of Mr.. Jackson. At the time of the acct
dent, she was crossing the yard between two houses,
distant about a hundred feet apart. The only trace
left on her person by the lightning was a mark on
her breast, very similar to what would have been
made by a flash of powder. The fluid probably struck
her on that spot and passed through her body to the
ground. -
A NEW CoAsTER--Captain Rikeke. the ~enterpris-
ing master and owner of the schooner John Young,
became the purchaser at auction. last Saturday, of
the schooner Isabel. lately from Callao for LAPS
dollars. The Isabel is - tons register, we'll built of
Guayaquil oak, and under the command of Capt.
Rikeke. will no doubt make a good coaster.
