ISLAND NOTES.


The new double effect for the
HOnOkaa Sugar Company was landed
safely from the Iwalani on last Friday
and Saturday. Since then the steamer
has not been able to land anything
owing to the heavy northerly swell. She
still has part Of her cargo on board, and
probably will not be able to land it, as
the sea is breaking very heavily all
along the coast.
Last Sunday night, while some Portu-
guese belonging to Paauhau plantation
were fishing at the landing, one of them
got his hook caught in the rocks and
went down to clear it, when heavy
roller swept him off. His body was
found on Monday morning with his head
damned fast between two rocks a short
distance from the landing.

Jules Tavernier, having almost entire
ly recovered his health, is hard at work
sketching. He has eight or nine beauti-
full subjects almost finished, and notes
for a score of others. He will probably
place number of his canvasses on exhi-
bition at Kings gallery in the course of
a few weeks In dealing with landscapes
and figure subjects, more congenial to
his taste than the fiery Volcano, he is
producing work of better merit

have skating rink here. 1t will be 40
feet by 20, and located below the tele-
phone office on Main street. The novelty
is not altogether appreciated by the
staider members of the community.
