I While the Hawaiian schooner
Liholiho, Captain III. III. Berry, was
leaving Makaweli, Kauai, at s
o'clock last Wednesday night, Aug
ust 9TH, she struck on the coral
reef and remained fast on the
rocks until II o'clock the following
morning. She had on board about
400 bags of sugar from the Ha-
waiian Sugar Co. The sea being
somewhat rough, it did not take
long to make a hole in the Liho-
liho's bottom near the keel. A
portion of the sugar was taken
ashore in boats to Tighten the ves-
sci. The steamer Iwalani arrived
at Makaweli on Thursday morning
and made preparations to tow off
the Liholiho from her dangerous
position. The large hawser was
twice parted before the schooner
was moved to deep water. After
several hours continuous pulling
the Liholiho was successfully float
ed into deep water again at II A.
NJ. The Iwalani towed her into a
safe place further. in toward the
beach where she now lies on her
beam ends half full of water. The
Iwalani brought about 100 bags
of sugar of the Liholiho's cargo
while over 800 damaged bags were
taken back to the mill. Capt.
Berry, his chief officer and native
crew are still at Makaweli. The
sails and blocks of the Liholiho have
been removed. A native diver has
been engaged to cover up the hole
with pieces of canvas. The I. L.
S. n. Go. are the owners of the lii
holiho.
Capt. Campbell will leave to-
morrow with several ship carpen-
tiers to the wreck. If found
advisable, repairs will be made and
the schooner will be towed to Ho-
nolulu, otherwise the Liholiho will
be sold at public auction in her
present position.
The clipper bark Albert, Captain
T. 1T. Griffiths, was locked at
Brewers wharf yesterday after
noon, nearly fourteen days from
San Francisco, with merchandise
consigned to HI. Hackfeld & Co.
She has on board among her cargo
seven packages of explosives for the
"royalists," so the skipper jokingly
replied to questions.

shut down for three months the

a sugar cargo from Kappa last Sat
urday. The Makee will take down
two cargoes of coal this week
if the weather permits.
The British bark Velocity, Cap
tain R. Martin, arrived yesterday,
sixty-seven days from Hongkong,
with general merchandise and ten
Chinese passengers. Only one of
the celestials presented a proper
passport to the customs authorities.
The other nine had no proper ex-
cuse to give for their presence on
board, except they are anxious to
come to Hawaii.
The American bark S. G. 1A1len,
Capt. Thompson, came in yesterday
morning nearly fourteen days out
from San Francisco, with cargo
