A SENsATIoN.-The schooner Nellie Merrill,
which arrived on Wednesday afternoon from
Lahaina, reported that the steamer Likelike, which
left here on Monday evening for windward ports,
had not made her appearance at Lahaina up TO
4 O'Clock p. m. on Tuesday, some twelve or more
hours behind time. The conclusion was arrived
at that some serious accident had happened TO the
steamer, and Mr.. Wilder the owner, promptly
chartered the Netie Merrill to 60 in search Of the
possible wreck. Capt. Hebron, the owner of the
schooner Kdmoi,-w5ich also left for windward
on Monday accompanied Mr.. Wilder, on the
Nettie. OF course, all sorts Of conjeetures were
rife in regard to the steamers non-arrival at La
haina and a great deal of anxiety was felt by
those having friends on board. We are happy to
say however that the Nettie returned to port on
Thursday evening and to the great relief Of the
entire community reported the Lkdike all right.
An accident had OCCURRED to her machinery which
necessitated going to leeward OF Lanai, for re-
pairs, after completing which she continued on
her trip, arriving at Lahaina at half past one on
"wednesday morning. She will be due here to-
morrow morning.

at IL minutes past 8 O'Clock. The circumstances
attending the murder will he remembered as
evincing a remarkably cold-blooded disposition
on the part Of the criminal. But, there was a
woman at the bottom Of 1t, and while her two vic
tins have gone TO +" the other side" she remains
unpublished. John Kapaoa was a native of Maui,
about thirty years OF age, in robust health, tall,

Of the Jail TO the Office, where the death warrant
was read to him, and thence to the scafold, where

THE END OF HAYs-Thed oubly notorious Cap
tain Hays, of whose ~piratical career "as be
sailed, as be sailed " about the Pacific for the past
twenty years, a very interesting book might be
written-is now said to have come to the end of
his tether, having been murdered by his servant.
It is possible however, and would be quite In
Hays style, that he himself has set the story in
circulation in order to throw pursuers OF his
track.
