Two boats belonging to the

Tuesday. The boats and rails are
now lying at the bottom Of the sea
in a depth of nearly twenty fathoms.
Attempts will most likely be made
to recover them.
The four masted bark reported the
other day was ship, and that is the
reason that no bark was seen going
past. It was four masted all the
same. And it was twenty-five miles
off instead of fifteen, and that is the
reason Faithful Charlie didn't see it.
It was sighted from an elevation Of
about a thousand feet, and bore due
southwest from Honolulu.
The police are making steady pro-
gress in unrayeling the misdeeds of
Barefooted Bill, and recovering the
stolen property. Yesterday silver
watch, stolen from W. G. Parke, was
recovered from a Chinaman to
whom it had gone from Bill. Bill
sold it to the Chinaman, but he
gave it away" to the police. He
told them at first that he had given
it to the two mythical whitemen, but
the police declined to be fooled. A
pair of boots, supposed to have been
stolen, turn out to have been paid
for. A revolver, taken from Hall q
Sons, was also recovered from the
same Chinaman.
