and was capsized-the crew being so weak
and exhausted that they could do but lit

JOHN YOUNG.

EDITOR BULLETIN "A cores
pondent of your journal desires some
information about the Hawaiian
pioneer, John Young. Young was
a Scotchman. He was boatswain of
the American bark Eleanore, which
was trading in the central and
Southern Pacific. The Eleanore
was at Kealakekua, on the 18th Of
February, 1890. On this day Young
went ashore Consequently it will be
96 years the coming 18th of Febru-
ary, since he landed on these
Islands). When he attempted to
join his ship he was, much to his
surprise, forbidden to leave, by
Kamehameha l. The bark Eleanore
remained two days off Kealakekua
Bay, firing guns for Young to re-
turn, but the King would not per-
NIT him to 60 on board.
Young was an ignorant seaman,
but nevertheless he had great in
fluence over Kamehameha l. He
IOoC w UC u CIllcl VI consequence,
and to the last possessed the con-
fidence of the people high and low.
At the time of the capture of John
Young, there were other white men
on the Islands - runaways from
ships-mostly of bad character, but
John Young, by his moral and re-
ligious knowledge, superior address,
and intelligence, quickly offset the
opinions the Hawaiians had formed
of the foreigners. Young was so
beloved by the natives that they
would not permit his departure.
He was carefully guarded whenever
a vessel hove in sight, and never
suffered to go afloat. Kamehameha
and other high chiefs made him
valuable presents of estates, etc.
In the year 1904 Young was ap-
pointed governor of Hawaii. He
lived to ripe old age.

the Minister only stimulated him
up to warmer work. Abiding to
the presence of the Minister Of
Finance, Mr.. Thurston said S54, 900
had been spent by the Government,
and there was not scrap of paper
to show where the money had gone.
Mr.. Kapena rose and excitedly
shouted, "You're liar! You're q
liar!" The chairman told the Minis
ter to sit down, but the latter gave
dastardly cue to his partisan sup
porters by continuing, 81 don't
want to have q riot here, but this
talk will lead to riot" then fairly
roaring, 80 my Lahaina, will you
let me be abused in this way?" His
Lahaina, however, proved stolid to
the incendiary appeal, showing
better sense than the Minister gave
them credit for. When he found
the Opposition candidates would not
wilt before his characteristic glare
or appeals to mob sentiment, Mr..
Kapena, in fury, howled out an
accusation against the Opposition
visitors, of having brought four
thousand dollars in gold into the
district to bribe the electors. To
this Mr.. Thurston returned the Min
isterial compliment of the lie direct.
The natives were deeply impressed
with the exhibition made of himself
by the Minister of Finance, and
before the gentlemen left it was
evident that great harm had been
done to the Government cause.
When Mr.. Thurston mentioned the
misappropriation of money on the
occasion mentioned above, he had
not the documentary proof with
him. He procured it later, how
ever, and after speaking at Kahana,
returned to meeting at the Lahaina
market, clinching the charge there
with the production of the Indem-
nifty Bill of last session, necessitated
by the expenditure of the amount
named without authority. At Ka-
hama Mr.. Kinney was appointed
chairman of the day. Mr.. Kapena
followed the Oppositionists into the
arena, but discovering that the tide
of feeling was strongly set against
the Government, he soon retired in
disgust without having spoken Q
word. On Messrs. Richardson,
Thurston and Kinney's approach tc
the Lahaina market, for the second
meeting, they were escorted by 8
gay cavalcade of horsemen.

Marine FATALITIES.

A blue book has been issued in
England containing the First Report
of the Royal Commission on Loss of
Life at Sea. 1t embraces some
$4,000 questions and answers, occu-
pying $50 pages. Although the
London Globe says the investigation
"has thus far borne too much the
appearance of trial of the ship
owning interest of Great Britain on
the prosecution of the Board of
Trade" still perusal of that
journals review of the document is
rewarded with some suggestive hints
and information that may be appli-
cable to other than British COM
merce. Mr.. Gray, Permanent AS
sistant Secretary to the Board of
Trade, while admitting diminution
in the loss of life on best managed
steamship lines, holds that the annual
loss of life in merchant shipping
amounts to one out of every fifty
seven employed. Among the reasons
for this high rate of mortality elected
by the investigation, chief one is
the practice of over-insuring ships,
and the fact that no civil or crimi-
nal responsibility attaches to owners
who knowingly send to sea unsea-
worthy, overladen, or unnamed
vessels. Mr.. Gray. who conducted
the Investigation for the most part,
refers to "small capitalists who,
though they no more want ship
than they want boa constructor, are
induced by highly-colored prospec-
fuses to put their money into ship
owing speculations. Inordlnate pro-
fits are promised, and to get these it
is necessary for the managers of the
enterprise to risk the safety of the
ship by cutting down the masters
wages, reducing the number of the
crew, and, in general, sacrificing
everything to the all-important con-
sideration of saving money" Some
high authorities are cited, on the
other hand, to show that the figures
and conclusions of Mr.. Gray are
over-drawn. "Mr. Richard Lowndes
President of the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, believes, as the re-
suit of forty years experience III
shipping matters, that there is ex-
ceedingly little wilful wrecking; but
he nevertheless thinks that the pres
ent system of insurance tends to
diminish the caution that would other
wise be used" The chairman of
the Hartlepool Shipowners' Society,
in long experience, had not found
that vessels highly insured were more
likely to be lost than those insured

deterioration of officers and men in
the mercantile service. Vice-Ad-
miral r. A. Powell is of opinion that
the master of large passenger ship
is usually an extremely good navi-
gator and skilful officer generally,
but that, on the other hand, the
master of an ordinary trader is not
quite equal to what he should be for
his responsible position. "Still, "
he adds, " it is impossible to forget
what they do when they come regu-
larly into peril, their marvellous self
sacrifice, both in the case Of the
seamen and the masters" Captain
Methven, formerly of the Pcninsular
and Oriental Company's service,
thinks that Z" the ordinary practice
of masters in navigation is far below
what they are capable of and that
their work should be more closely
looked after by owners by supervi-
sion of the log-book, which is often
very badly-kept."
The revelations of the British in
quiry above stated do not show
causes of marine fatalities peculiar
to British commerce. With the
growth of Hawaii's infant marine
they will be found to crop up, and
it would be well to prepare for
them. Already it is no new thing
here to see people who have no more
need of ship than of boa con-
strictor, and know as little about the
management of one as the other,
embarkingin shipowning speculation.
On our coral beach, as well rs on
every shore in the world, there are
always persons ready to jump at
what seems to be chance of for
tune in the shape of vessel con-
demned after running on the strand.
Such ships, when they fall, as they
often do, into the hands of men
without the capital such property
requires for its management, are
patched up barely enough to
make them float with the assistance
of the pumps and sent on a voyage
with precious lives on board. Doubt
less the license allowed such hulks
as these, where regulations are lax
or absent altogether, frequently con-
tributes to marine fatality. We do
not think that over-insurance with
fraudulent or felonious intent has
given much, if any, cause to be
feared in the Hawaiian register.
Nevertheless, as our marine COM
merce grows the temptation to that
species of rascality will doubtless
increase, and ought to be provided
against with other kinds of risk
thrust upon sailors and sea passen-
gers. At all events, one of the
needs of this kingdom is a compre-
hensive shipping law for the pro-
lection of human life on all YES
sells leaving our ports, whether
for foreign or domestic voyages.
In brace of articles in refer
ence to the lost schooner Kamoi,
the most evident local contri-
butaries to the loss of life were
exposed. Since then the schooner
Domitila has gone so long overdue
as to justify placing her on the per.
manent roll of missing vessels. In
making approaches to the electors,
the would-be Lawmakers of the
kingdom could not promise a more
necessary thing than that they should
if elected, see to it that the interests
of those who go down to the sea in
ships would not be neglected in til,
