The artesian well being bored by the Govern
ment at Aliiolani Hale was down $50 feet on
Thursday, and on Wednesday evening hard coral
was struck again. Work is TO be continued night
and day. The specimens of rock and coral, with
shells and bone, brought up from different depths
are very interesting as showing something of the
formation of the island. II specimens of every
stratum bored through with their respective depths
noted were saved from every well put down in the
Islands, and placed in the museum at the Govern
ment Building, they would form record of in
estimable value to biologists, and also to students
of vucanology. There should be some one to look

water is flowing over the top of the pipe and

Our readers will remember the loss of the little
schooner Warpich during storm last winter, of
which no particulars have ever been given. We
have been made acquainted with the following
facts concerning her fate which were obtained
by DR.. n. b. Emerson from Mr.. Strawn, AS
sistant Superintendent at the Leper Settlement
on Molokai. The Paynick left Kaaupapa
Sunday morning in November last and sailed
along the northern side of Molokai toward Lanai.
A gale of wind was blowing Mt tho time. She
stood off to the northeast until she was about
fifteen miles distant when she luffed up and
headed for Halawa Point, the eastern extremity of
Molokai. She without cargo ana entirely
without ballast and was very light in the water.
She appeared to have lost her foresail at this
time. Mr.. Strawn looked for her about fifteen
minutes later but she nowhere to be seen, and
he thinks she went down during that interval.
very rough sea was running ut tho time and Mr.
Strawn IL OF the opinion that small boat could
not have lived in it. The Wd,rick left the
anchorage under full sail and had on board three
or four men beside her native captain.
Mr.. A. S. CLRaHoRN and Mr.. wodehouso, H.
b. M. Commissioner, representing the Hawaiian
and British Governments, have visited the planta-
tatiors of Kauai to examine into the condition of
its laborers, and will next make tour of Oahu
for the same purpose. They found the quarters of
the laborers iii many places in very filthy cond-
ton, the managers in many instances having over
looked the condition of the people. The South
ia n tha al Irttp .,,,
the plantations, and those from the Gilbert,
Marshal and other northern groups are considered
to be complete failures. The Chinese also have
dirty quarters, but those Of the other aborers are
not quite so bad. The buildings were generally
found to be in good condition. but it ia the opinion
of the gentlemen mentioned that they should be
housed IN separate cottages instead of in barracks
for reasons of cleanliness, morality and general
comfort separate house or hospital for the sick
should also be provided. The two Government
physicians on the island are not thought sufficient
for the population i'll the large districts under their
charge. There is room for improvement on all of
the plantations and the appointment of sanitary
inspector is recommended, for the South Sea
Islanders and Some others will not keep their
premises in y clearly condition unless compelled
to do So When the tour of Mr.. Cleghorn and Mr..
wodehouse is completed their reports will be in
teres.inG and valuable.
