THE MISSING VESSEL.

The two natives sent by the Pa
cific Navigation Co. 10 walk along
the coast of Hawaii between Hilo
and Kaalualu, to look for the
schooner Kamoi and to gather all
possible news of her, returned by
the steamer w. G. Hall on Tuesday.
They report seeing no sign of the
vessel, but had gathered information
along the coast that has revived
hopes of seeing her again. At Puma
the old mate of the PATIO and other
natives say that the schooner was off
Puma Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
hut on Monday she was out of sight.
She drifted towards Kau and on
Sunday and Monday she was seen
off that district, but on Tuesday she
was missing. There was dead
calm from her time of leaving Puma
until after she was seen off Kau for
the last time. She was drifting to
the southeast and Mr.. A. +. Cooke
thinks she will yet turn up. He
says she may have fallen in with
some foreign vessel.

AN INCIDENT OF NlR0A.

When the excursion party to
Nihoa were returning on the steamer,
many of the native ladies were OBJ
served to be taking home palm
leaves from the beautiful grove on
that island. Mr.. Jaeger, becoming
interested in that fact, made en-
quiries and ascertained that the
ladies appraised the leaves at high
value. lie then asked them why
they did not raise the native palms
upon their own grounds, when they
could have all the leaves they want
ed without going to Nihoa for them.
In reply they stated that they did
not know that the native variety of
palm was obtainablc in Honolulu.
Mr.. Jaeger thereupon informed
them that about 800 young native
palms were growing in the Govern
ment nursery. The result of this
interview between the nursery super.
intendent and the ladies is that most
of the palms have been transplanted
from the Government plot to the
private lawns of aristocratic manors.

NEWS BY THE W. C. HALL.

Good weather ON Hawaii and
Maui when the steamer left. The
orange season has opened with no
favorable prospects. The fruit will
not be so plentiful this season on
account of blight, and coffee, it is
feared, will share the same fate.
The cane fields are looking splendid.
Hilea and Naalehu mills begin grind
ing about the 1st November.
The Honuapo wharf lately built
by Mr.. johnson is $50 feet long
from the warehouse to the outer end
where there is "a feet of water. No
large vessel can dock there, as mis-
stated in the Advertiser, as a high
sea with enormous breakers continu-
ally runs into the landing, making it
impossible for large vessel to dock
with safety. Capt. Bates, of the
steamer Hall, says the Honuapo
wharf is without exception the finest
outstanding on the Islands.
Last Monday night thunder
storm bursted on Kona and Kau
mountains. The water came down
the Kona gulches in torrents, sweep
ing everything before it, flooding the
fields and laying waste many acres
of land. The steamer touched al
Kahoolawe OH the way down to take
on board Mr.. John Ena and Mr.. w.

and two daughters married. His
age was SO years. DIR. James
Simpson, who was called imme-
diately after his arrival, pronounced

mach. The friends of the deceased

their power to make the patient
comfortable during the passage.
Mr.. Lyle was a man of estimable
character, and kind husband,
father and friend. He was native

Clara county, where his wife and
family now reside. The whole
family with the exception of one
son were with him from the evening
after reaching the Coast until his
| death.
