Calculating the Distance of a Storm.

YING WITHANICEBERG.
The Singular adventures of Some
COunfrymcu of Jules Verne.

A few years ago a French man.
of-war was lying at anchor in Tenn
pie Bay, and the younger officers
took it into their heads to amuse
themselves with an iceberg, mile
or rnore distant in the strait. They
would have sumptuous picnic on
the very top of it. All the warnings
of the brown and simple fishermen
went for nothing with these gentle
men who had seen the world.
1t was a bright summer morn
ing, and the jolly boat with a flag
went off to the berg. By II O'Clock
the colors were flying from the top,
and the wild midshipmen were
reveling on the ice mountain. For
two hours or more they hacked it
and climbed over it. They frolicked
and Toasted and laughed at the
very thought of danger on this solid
ice.
When, like thoughtless children,
the young men had played them
selves weary, they descended to
the1r Cookie smell or boat ana
rowed away.
AS if time and distance had been
measured on purpose for the men to
view the scene in safety, the great
iceberg lay silent until the boat was
a certain distance off. Then, as if
it's heart had been a volcanic fire, il
burst with awful thunder, and filled
the surrounding water with its
ruins.
Awed and subdued by the scene
of destruction, and thrilled at their
narrow escape from death, the pic
nickers returned to their ship. 1t
was their first and last day of
amusement with an iceberg

ANOTHER PLAN.
Captain Swinfon Thinks He Can
Float the Miowera.

Capt. H. Swinton is reported to
be preparing a plan for floating the
Miowera. Mr.. Swinton was one of
those who aided in getting off the
old steamer Kilauea az Kawaihae
years ago. He proposes TO float
the Miowera by means of two
heavy lifting posts placed near the
stern. He thinks that the tug
Ellen and steamer Likelike could
do the work. The stern is TO be
raised by means Of heavy wire
cables running from the forward
part Of the vessel to the stern, two
wires going through heavy blocks
placed at the top of the lifting
posts, and the tug is TO tow the
wires, by which the stern of the
vessel could be raised several feet,
at the same time the steamer
Likelike would tow from the bow
Mr.. Swinton says he can get two
heavy blocks and poles from the
marine railway, while the cables
are to be found on the Z. S. S
Philadelphia. He will present his
plans to Capt. Stott and the agents
of the Miowera for examination.
Mr.. A. Lyle, of the Marine rail
way, accompanied by his son
James and a native diver, went
out to the steamer Miowera at 80
o'clock last Saturday morning.
On their return, Mr.. Lyle report
ed that the stranded steamer was
all right all along the port side I'M
derneath the bottom. On the star
board side she was free from the
smokestack forward and for fifteen
feet from the stern post. The Milo
vera is therefore aground on the
starboard bilge and bottom, the
bi!ge keel on the starboard side be-
ing deeply buried into the coral
reef. AS far as the diver could
ascertain there were no holes on
the bottom.
Messrs. Lyle & Sorrenson will
not make any tender for floating
the Mlowera, as they are very busy
at present with other work.

Detectives Larsen ard Boyle Arrest
Four Chinamen at the wa Pump
Works Under DimcuItIes

Detectives William Larson and
Neil Boyle had a very narrow
squeak on Saturday night, and but
for the display of Il good deal Of
bravery and very prompt action
there might have been four
vacancies in the police force today.
The police, under the new regime,
have been making Honolulu so
warm for the Chinese and native
gamblers that a great many Of
them have removed the base OF
their operations to the country,
where they feel more secure. For
some time past Detectives Larson
and Boyle have had their official
eyes on full ledged gambling
outfit located in the vicinity of
Eva pump works, and preparations
for raiding it have been going on
for some days. Saturday night
was the time set, and when the
descent was made a full assert
ment of the materials used in the
fascinating games of che ia, paka-
pho and fan tan were found in the
house.
Larsen and Boyle, who were ac-
companied by two native police
men, arrested the four principal
owners of the concern, and were
just making ready to bring their
prisoners to town when the house
was surrounded by over two hun
dred and fifty bowling Cinnamon,
armed with stones and clubs, who
demanded the release of the four
arrested men. This was a part of
the programme that Larsen and
Boyle had not counted on, but
they decided that as they had
come over ten miles to secure the
men, that it would not be a very
glorious end to their raid to come
back empty handed.
Both detectives drew their pis-
tolls and advanced on the crowd Of
excited rescuers who retreated a
few steps, after looking into the
muzzles of the guns. Advantage
of this momentary hesitation was
taken and the prisoners were hus-
tied out of the door and around
the house, where, under cover of
the bushes the officers escaped
with them, and they were brought
to town and lodged in Jail.
Boyle and Larsen deserve a great
deal of credit for their capture. 1t
was an affair that took good deal
of nerve, and not many men would
have had the courage to face such
a mob, even though it was not
armed.

Defiance of the Provisional Coy

Honolulu is blessed with, was one

especially pleased with Saturday
afternoons drill. 1t interfered with
the running of his line of palace"
cars, and that is a crime second
only to the breaking of the ten

raj consequence was that some of
the men were in the way of the
cars, and when the second one was
blocked Mr.. Paine arrived in all
his majesty. He Immediately or

they refused, surprise was plainly
