SIR How long is this community to sic quietly

but treat with contempt the respectful suggestions Of

OF being cheated, ~ to cheat"
There is probably not a civilized community un-

to the holding Of Office of men who so entirely fail Of
filing its requirements as do The present members Of
the Board of Health. Why don't they resign, (tbe
doctors, | mean.)
For men will commonly recover,
As soon as doctors give them over"
And let the King appoint a new Board of Health.

l I'M aware that the agent Of the Board OF
Health has given within the past Eve months over
eight hundred notices for the abatement OF nuisan-
ces in the city and suburbs. In most cases the
notice has been sufficient but in many cases the
agent has personally attended to the removal Of
the nuisance. 1t is to be hoped that citizens will
give the agent Of the Board information OF nuisan-
ces of which they may be cognizant. and will help
10 every way to allay the fears OF Ibe more timid.
Our city having been until lately quite free of dis
ease, and deaths being infrequent, some alarm is
naturally caused by the decease of an unusual
number of prominent citizens.

WILLIAM HALFoRD-The gunner of the U. 5. S.
I LackGwannd, now in this port, has a history Of no
little interest. William Halford was coxWain of the
Captains gig, on the U. S. Steamer SdginaU, which
vessel, under the command of Captain Montgomery
Sicard, having left Honolulu on the 1st of October,
1870, on a cruise in the North Pacific, went ashore
on Ocean Island. distant about 100 miles north
west of this island, on the 18th of the same month,
and in a few hours became a total wreck. Provi-
sions and sails were saved and the crew remained on
the barren islet until the 4th of January following,
when they were taken off and brought to Honolulu
on the steamer RiidueG, Capt. Thomas Long, dis
patched to their relief by the Hawaiian government
Immediately on hearing of the disaster. The news
had been brought here by Halford, in this wise: On
the 10th of November, the Captains gig, which had
been raised upon, decked, and thoroughly fitted for
the purpose, sailed from Ocean Island for Honolulu,
to procure assistance. She was under command Of
Lieut.. ]. G. Talbot, and her crew consisted Of
William Halford, coxwain, Peter Francis, Jas
Muir, and John Andrews. They were t~hirty-one
days in the boat, suffering many hardships, and
made the bay of Hanalei on December 18th at night,
and lay of. for daylight. Being exhausted. they fell
asleep and the boat getting into the breakers was
capsiZed, and Lieut.. Talbot, Francis and Andrews
were drowned in the surf Hslford and Muir sue
ceeded in reaching the shore-the latter only 10 die
Of exhaustion soon after. Halford was Hospitality
treated by the natives of KalihiWai, NEAR Hanalei)
where he was found on the beach in the morning,
and was brought to Honolulu in the schooner Yai-
Ola, Capt Dudoit, who gave up his trip for the pur-
pose. Lieut.. Talbot was buried at Hanalei, but the
remains were subsequently disinterred and taken to
the United States. Captain Sicard, his officers and
crew, arrived here on the steamer Klauea, Jan. IA,
1871, and in a published card expressed their appre-
citation of the generous and kind action of the Haw-
allan Government in promptly sending to their
relief. In our issue of Jan. q we gave q full ac-
count of the s~hipwreck of the SaginaU, and of ''The
midway Island Speculation, and what came of it."
Halford, for his exemplary conduct, was given q
gunner's commission in the navy, which he has held
ever since. Capt. Long, who had volunteered to go
in the Riiauea for the relief of the sbipwrecked
crew, was presented by the o. s. Government with a
gold c~hronometer. Through Mr.. Peirce, the Ameri-
can Minister Resident, the q. s. Government sent
the sum of sos. to be distributed among the natives
who rendered assistance to Halford saved property

THE EsPLANADE-During the past week we have
on several days extended our walks about town to
the Esplanade, and closely examined the localities
there where rubbish from the city is deposited. We
found tina. the practice had been discontinued of emp
tying rubbish at the foot of Alakea street (Which
street, it will be remembered is to be continued out
to the steamship wharf) and that the line of deposit
for rubbish is now confined to the east side of the Es-
planade, where water lots are in process of being fill
ed in. The rubbish, as fast as dumped at the waters
edge, is levelled of by a gang of prisoners and COW
cred with fresh earth, which is brought from inland,
several government carts being kept constantly en-
ployed for this purpose. By thus promptly covering
the damp rotting rubbish from the streets and priv
ate enclosures of the city with earth-the best of alb
sorbents-the escape of miasma is efeetually prevent
ed. In this connection we have ascertained the some
what significant fact that in the streets all along the
line of the Esplanade, most exposed to any miasma
that emanate thence, there has been little or no pre-
valence of fever. The bilge water smell which we
noticed last week as coming from that locality, pro-
ceeds from the mudhats. when they are left bare to
the heat of the sun by the receding tide, and is
always more or less noticeable when the wind is from
the direction of the reef.
