morning, and charged with Grim

arrest was published in the Holo-

PATERNAL GUARDIANSHIP.
A British ConsuPs Views of
Americas Relations to
Hawaii.

Thomas R. Walker, British vice
consul at Honolulu, and wife are
at the Occidental. Mr.. Walker
states that all reports of a native
uprising are groundless. There is
perfect peace in the islands.
Mr.. Walker declares that the ma
tive Hawaiians are perfectly will
ing to let the United States decide
as to what is just. He commends
Mr.. Blount for impartiality.
As for Honolulu, he says it is
practically an American city. He
thinks that a sort of paternal guar
dianship for the islands by the
United States would perhaps be a
good solution of the Hawaiian
problems. F. Chronicle, Oct. 10,

with hawser to keep the Liholiho

as we have seen, and the labor on
the part of the boats crews was Sc

more than when ordinarily employed
in boating off sugar. The distance
over which the sugar was boated was

ANOTHER WRECK.
The Old Pile Driver Sinks at the
Pacific Mail Dock.

On Saturday night Mr.. Jarrett,
government superintendent Of the
wharves, was ordered by Mr.. w. E.
Rowell, superintendent Of public
works, to have the pile-driver in
readiness by 5 o'clock on Sunday
morning, as he was going out to
the Miowera to drive down several
piles for Captain Metcalfe. Mr..
Jarrett made it fast at the Eva end
of the P. NJ. S. S. Co.'s wharf.
Saturday night there was quite a
swell near the mail wharf and the
pile-driver was continually bumped
against the wharf until it sprung
a leak and sunk.
When Mr.. Jarrett arrived at the
mail wharf on Sunday morning at
5 o'clock, he found the pile.driver
lying on her beam ends, as it were.
The derrick was lying flat on the
surface of the water, but the iron
hammer had fallen out from its
place. The hammer will be re-
covered from the bottom this morn
ing.
The wreck was towed over to
the Waikiki end of the wharf by
the tug Eleu, where it was righted
again. Messrs. Rowell and jarrett
employed a large gang Of men yes
terday to remove the donkey-engine
from the pile-driver to a new
scow, and the derrick and hammer
will be temporarily fitted thereon
this morning as Captain Metcalfe
needs it the Miowera.
The pile-driver is very old, and
has outlived its usefulness. 1t was
the first scow ever built by the old
government, and it was this very
pile-driVer which drove the piles
for all the wharves along the city
front.

LUNG YAO CAPTURED.
The Chinese Murderer Escaped
TO Hamakua on the Kinau.

LUNG Yao, the Chinese murder
er for whom the police have been
looking for some time, was brought
back from Hamakua yesterday
morning on the steamer Waialeale.
He had been supposed to be in hid
ing in the Waianae hills, or that
vicinity, and the officers were
greatly surprised when he put in
an appearance at the station.
Yao left here on the Kinau last
Tuesday. 1t is supposed that he
was kept in hiding by some Of his
friends here until the day the
steamer left, when he went on
board and was not recognized in
the crowd. When he got to Hama
kua, however, an acquaintance
of his there informed on him, and
he was Immediately returned to
this city.

u) a schooner completed taking in her
cargo OF sugar at the port of Makaweli.
Kauai, at dusk and soon after started
on her voyage to Honolulu. Held,
leaving the port in the night time was
not per Sc evidence of negligence.
(2) The fact that the salving vessel and the
schooner from which the sugar was
sAlyed belonged to the same owners
does not prevent salvage being award
ed against the cargo SAWED.
(S) The libellants were under contract to
convey the sugar from MAXWELL to
Honolulu and their vessels we're under
general orders to assist each other.
These facts do not prevent the res
cue OF the sugar from being a salvage
service.
(4) The action of the winds and the waves
being the proximate cause OF the disas-
ter and the miscalculation OF the Mas
ter being the remote cause, the loss
was Occasioned by a peril of sea.
t5) The schooner L. was loaded and
started in the early evening TO 20 TO
sea from the port of Makaweli, Kauai.
The master was at the helm; the crew
hoisted the foresail and mainsail, hove
on the anchor until it broke ground,
then began to hoist the jib. The wind
was light and off shore on the port
bow, as the schooner was coming
round. The course out of the harbor
was 5. W. The wheel was hard to
port and dashed. The schooner payed
off very slowly and the mate fearing
she might touch the reef let the anchor
go. Shortly after this it was again
hoisted. the mainsail-peak was lowered
and lib sheet hauled to windward and
behaved and when the schooner was
within two points of her course she
struck the reef on the windward or
port side of the harbor nea- the en-
trance, and stuck fast. The steamer
Iwalani was sent for and when she ar
rived she anchored, and fastened q
hawser 70 the schooner and kept a
steady strain on it to keep her from
being lifted more on the reef by the
swell. and discharged the sugar rapid
" with her own boats, and finally
pulled the schooner off into deep water.
The L. had knocked hole in her and
afterwards sank, and was a total loss.
This service was attended with but
little danger to the lbellants' saving
vessel. the sea being smooth and the
wind light, and did not require great
skill or any extra expense, and occu-
pied only about u hours: Held, that
that one-quarter of the net proceeds Of
the cargo salved would under these
circumstances be proper compensation
for the service.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD, c.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD, c. ].
Circuit Judge Cooper heard this
case below and decreed that the libel
liant is entitled to salvage from the
sugar saved from the wreck of the
schooner Liholiho, and that amount
of such salvage be fifty per cent. of
the net proceeds of the sale of said
sugar paid into Court. We adopt
the findings of fact and of law as
decided by Judge Cooper in his
opinion rendered on the 21st Sep
TENDER, 1893, with the exception of
the amount of the salvage. Follow
ing is the decision upon which the
decree appealed from is based:
son the evening of August 9, 1888,
the schooner Liholiho went ashore
on the reef forming the southern
line of Maxwell harbor, Kauai her
cargo consisted of 1450 bags of sugar.
Soon after the schooner grounded
the captain sent his boat ashore for
assistance, but was unable to secure
it, after which the crew pulled over
to Waimea, where the steamer Iva
lani lay at anchor, and requested the
captain to come at once to the assist
ance of the Liholiho. The Iwalani
arrived at the wreck some time be-
tween midnight and 2 o'clock, and
after a short consultation with the
captain of the Liholiho, it was de-
cided that the best thing to do was
to transfer the sugar from the Llho-
Tho 10 the Iwalani. The first attempt
was made with the Liholiho's boat,
but, owing to the heavy swell and
roll of the schooner, the boat was
broken. After which the Iwalani's
boats were called into action, and
1158 bags of sugar were taken aboard
the Iwalani. Both the crew of the
Liholiho and the Iwalsni participated
in the work, and after daylight assist
ance was rendered by men from the
shore. Soon after the arrival OF the
Iwalani hawser was passed to the
Liholiho and fastened to the main
mast, and a steady strain was put
upon it for the purpose of keeping
her from going further upon the reef
Before the sugar was fully out the
haRser parted after which it was
carried forward and made fast to the
foremsst, and an effort was made tt
pull her off the reef which was finally
successful. After being pulled of
the reef the schooner began to make
water rapidly and the remaining
sugar was wet, and IS bags of the re
mainder was taken out and landed
upon the wharf the captain of thu
Iwalani refusing to take this we
sugar for fear of damaging the sugal
he had already taken aboard. TIT
Liholiho soon afterwards sank anC
the remainder of the cargo became
total loss. The Iwalani proceeded
on her voyage, and in due cours
landed the 115S bags of sugar a
Honolulu.
On the 18th of August, 1893, tn
libellants fled their libel in thi
Court praying for an attachment ant
. sale of the sugar, and claiming
, twenty five hundred dollars for salv
age service.
