II wanted still two hours of sunset,
when Lanty Hanlon left tine lighthouse
with the mallard wing in his pocket for
Uncle Jerry His pace was now more
hurried and purpose-like than when
last seen vending his way through the
dark giens. His song too had entirely
ceased and he held his 5lackthorn staff
no longer carelessly under his arm, bat
grasped ii firmly III his hand, Ike a
traveller resolved to let no grass grow
under his feet till he had accomplished
his journey.
On passing the road below Else Cur
ey's cabin, however, he looked up to
see il the old woman was IL sight, that
he might make her 8 sign of friendly
recognition: or perhaps it was whole-
some dread of second unceremonious
visit from Mamie. that made him turn
his eyes In that direction. Be that as it
NAV, neither Mamie nor her mistress
could be seen, but in their stead, and
much to Lanty 3 surprise, appeared the
tall figure of the stranger, issuing from
the door Of the little mud cabin, and
making his way down the hill N the di-
rection of the lighthouse. Lanty
stopped suddenly, not well knowing
what 10 th1nk CT this. He had seen the
stranger, a full half hour before, quit
ting Iough Ely, and setting OF towards
Croban, and naturally concluded he was
by that time far on his way home. i
moment e reflection, however, convinced
him that the nan must nave hid himself
behind some rock or hiIloek, and waited
there until he could venture mp unob-
served, to pay his usual visit TO Else
Curley.
THIS manauTring was by no means
satisfactory to Lanty; on the contrary, il
served greatly to confirm The bad opin-
ION he had begun to entertain Of bis
purpose in hovering 30 constantly abou.

also, by inducing vessels Of heavy ton
mage to make this port for supplies.
Were the bar deepened by ten or twelve
feet, as it might be, Honolulu would
hardly ever be without national ships Of
the various Powers having mercantile
interest n the North Pacific TO protect
This in itself would be a very great ben
eft TO the trading and producing interests
of the city and surrounding country. For
example, the cash disbursements of the
three British war ships recently here was
very considerable, and their purchases
of fruit and vegetables and other sup
plies formed an appreciable factor in the
local market. If Admiral Seymour had
been able to bring H. NJ. S. Triumph
into the harbor, instead of lying outside
in the bay, the disbursements would
have been far larger. We mention this
as an incident simply to emphasize the
point we have made above regarding the
necessity for deepening the harbOr. II the
Government makes any definite proposal
in this direction, the Legislature should
give it their most earnest consideration.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly meets to-
day for the dispatch of business, after
an adjournment from Thursday last.
The holidays having interviewed, it is
probable that very little attention was
given to committee work, but we hope
progress was made in other directions
We understand that the report of the
Minister of the Interior will be presented
to the Assembly to-day. This will fur
nish very considerable matter for
thought, and enable the House to 90 on
with the balance of the Appropriation
bill. 1t was objected that members
could not vote intelligently without this
report, and there was a good deal of force
in the objection; but inasmuch as this
drawback will not exist after the morn
ing sitting OF the Legislature to-day, it is
to be presumed that members will settle
down to work, vote the adequate sup
plies for the public service, enact neces-
sary laws and adjourn. This, at least,
is the course which diainterested per-
son would advise as most conducive to
the best interests of the country.

HARBOR IMPROVEM ENTS.

From time to time the ADVERTISER
has pointed out the necessity for in
creased harbor accommodation. The
development of our sugar industry has
greatly increased the shipping frequent
ing this port, and very frequently the
want of wharf accommodation is felt.
With the addition of two ocean steam
ships to the Hawaiian mercantile
marine, and the almost absolute GER
tainty of the projected Canadian-Pacific
steamship line between British Column
bia and China, making Honolulu a way
port, we are brought face to face with
the fact that the accommodation for
large steamships is wholly inadequate.
1t is not sufficient for the present steamer
traffic, much less is it adequate for
the certain expansion of our shipping
trade in the not distant future.
In addition to the want OF wharf a.
commodation we have the further fact
that the reclamation of land from the
harbor has very materially lessened the
water space This cannot now be reme-
died. 1t is possible, however, to utilize
what water space now remains to greater
advantage than at present, but it can
only be done as part of d comprehensive
harbor improvement scheme. The bar
should be deepened to admit the largest
sea-going vessels, and open water space
should be reserved to enable them TO
swing without risk of accident A
craving dock should be built and
equipped A double-track railroad
should be constructed along the water
front, to facilitate the handling of cargo
and lessen the expense to shippers. OF
course all this would involve large ex-
penditure and considerable time for COM
pletion, but the improvements indicated
are absolutely essential to the growing
demands of our commerce, and the inn
portance of Honolulu as the great mid
ocean port in the North Pacific.
Some of these improvements are press
ing, as in the case OF increased wharf
and landing space and the deepening of
the bar. The expenditure on the first
would paw handsome interest on the in |
vestment; the outlay for deepening the I
water on the bar would be profitable !

A Small RIaza,

On Sunday afternoon, about half-past
u o'clock, an alarm of fire WAS rung out
from the different engine houses. 1t
proved to be for fire in three-roomed
cottage in Panoa Valley, in rear of the
residence of Z. K. Meyers. The cottage
was occupied by Norwegian, who states
that the fire was caused by his boiling
milk over a tin containing kerosene oil.
The room caught on fire and communi-
Gated to the roof. Mr.. Myers put out
the fire in the room with hand grenades,
while the fire on the roof was extin-
guished by Mr.. Selig and others with
water. This prompt assistance by neigh
bors saved the building from destruc
ton. The damage done will not exceed
800 The building is owned by Mr..
Bruce, a ship carpenter. The depart
ment turned out promptly, but their serv-
ices were not required.
