The KILAUEA-This old and WORKOUT steamer,
having passed her day of usefulness. and beyond
repair at any reasonable price. was sold at auction
by Mr.Adams, on Thursday last, bringing the insig-
niacant sum Of only 5000, and will be broken up.
She was built in New London, CT. by G. a. Will
liams d Co., and was brought to the Islands under
command of Capt. James NJ. Green about twenty
years ago. Her career, since her arrival in our
waters. is intimately connected with the growth of
the country, and the social Improvement of the
people. Through her, the horrors of a passage
between the Islands by the mosquito feet were
turned into a trip of pleasure. and thousands feel
gratided that her name is perpetuated by our
friend Hobron's new steamer, launched the other
day. Fond memories cling around the old Kildued,
and many a regret will be felt that she no longer
=" walks the waters, like a thing of life.' !
