Loss OF THE SCHOONER KAMAuE-The schooner
K0maile. owned by Messrs. a. Frank Cooke s.
others. went on shore at Waialua, on this island,
al about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning last,
very soon went to pieces. She was bound TO
with freight for the plantation of Gordon
4 Halstead. On entering the passage the wind
died away to IA calm, and the current from the
river carried her on to the reef. The Kamdile was
so 90 100 tons, and was built at New London.
Conn. in 1850, coming out to San Francisco in
1851. being then the Queen Of the Vest. and in the
following year was purchased by parties here. She
has ever since been employed IN ia" coaStlng
and was considered a staunch vessel. She
was uninsured. and the loss will amount to prob
ably S. 600. Most of the freight. consisting of
ron pipes, can it Is thought, be saved by divers.
DISPROPORTIoNED-On a dIay passing along the
street to the wharf for shipment to "a windward
the other day, we counted some thirty cases
If liquors. mostly cognac. and. placed on top of
he load. two small boxes of tea. We were re-
minded OF Falstat's uncomfortable quantity of
TO SO little bread. All these cases OF
creature comfort" were addressed to a Chinaman
living in Il remote district OF the Island. One
night suppose that '' john was really a heavy
by the supplies he gets for of course he
never sells any 10 his neighbOrs, natives as well as
o~reigners. Oh. no he is not that style of man.
But really, what 1t farce is made of our law on the
liquor traffic. Everybody knows that natives.
in this city and all over the Islands, can get
Ill the liquor they are able to pay for, laws to the
contrary nevertheless. Aud so we assume a vir.
ne. though we have it not.
