none OF those saved was seriously
hurt. The worst hurt was a Piute
Indian, who was in the mizzen cross
trees at the time she was breaking
up, and was swept out of there and
up on the rocks. He climbed up
over the bluff and lay down in the
grass and went to sleep. We did
not see him till morning When he
saw us he said, 81 thought YOU fell
lows were all dead" After we had
been on shore about half an hour,
one of the men said he thought he
heard some one calling. Those who
had shoes on went back over the lava
rocks and hung over the cliff; but
they could not hear anyone.
About half an hour after that the
vessel went all to pieces, so that they
were sure that there could be no one
left alive about her, and they came
away. Then we banked up in the
bushes (hau) and waited till morn
ing. Most of us were bare-footed
and had but little clothing, and all
were wet and cold In the morning
we struck out for Hilo, as we tn ought,
but we were going in the wrong d-
rection. We soon found some natives
and they directed us to Captain FL
darts place. We went there and got
something to eat and clothes enough
to cover us.
After Captain Eldarts had cared
for the living as best he could, he
went with 3rd officer Pardee to look
after the missing men and the wreck.
Arriving at the bluff, they looked
over, and a CHASTITY sight met their
eyes. There lay the bodies of seven
of the unfortunate men, bruised and
disfigured past all recognition and
stripped of all clothing. They were
wedged in among the rocks so that
they were not carried up on the shore /;
but every swell from the sea rolled
high over them. The cliff over which
they had to look was about thirty
feet high. One Hawaiian offered to
go down and try to get the bodies
out if those on the bluff would hold
on to rope tied around him. But
Captain Eldarts says, II would not
send a live man after dead one into
such place like that" The vessel was
completely broken up and gone. This
was at eleven or twelve O'clock Oh
Tuesday, February End. On Thurs
day, February 4th, the nineteen men
saved reached Hilo, and Mr.. C. Fur
neaux, U. S. Consular Agent, took
charge of them and cared for them
as his government directs.
The author of this report here
gives the list of lost and saved the

ian, native of Hilo, residing last at
Honolulu.
Jack Jouvett spent many years In

the presence of mind, courage and
efficiency of Mr.. Pardee.

She was owned chiefly in New Bed
| ford.
The Kinau struck something off
the Hamakua coast, which is thought

This happened about "a hours after
the wreck.
1t is thought that Capt. Rowland
was off in his reckoning either or
account of the poor observations he
had been able to get or on account
of defect in his chronometer. AT
any rate it was the impression OF
those who escaped that they were a
considerable distance to the north Of
where they really were.
A walk of four miles barefooted,
though accustomed to shoes, would
be considered hardship itself worth
mentioning, but for the fact that
these men endured so much that was
worse.
Jacob Guinnic of Finland was the
man lost in taking the whale on the
