from town after the first alarm. The
Honolulu Rifle Company had weapons,

Mr.. Moran brought 10 this efiice. The

for, or what he name was, Moran did
not hear. She was away by daybreak.
and possibly sailed for the Gilbert
group, or perhaps Tahiti. That they

act in this strange and unprecedented
affair was most deliberate.
