THE G. R. BISHOP.
AN UNSUCCESSFUL TOUR OF
THE OTHER ISLANDS.
She Leaves Kauai For Palmyra
Island in Search of the
Missing Men.

The steamer c. R. Bishop is con-
tinuing her voyage in search of the
missing boats crew of the Hawaiian
bark Lady Lsmpson, the steamer,
at last accounts, on the 18th inst,
having left Waimea, Kauai, for a
search around the island of Niihau
From thence, if no news is obtained
of the boats crew, will proceed on a
zigzag course toward Palmyra and
Fanning's islands and other islands
in that region, the search being in
tended, according to the orders of the
Government, to be most thorough in
its character. The search along the
coasts of Lanai, Molokai. Maui and
and Hawaii has resulted in nothing,
no news being obtainabIe from any
of those islands of the arrival of any
shipwrecked crew. The same has
been the result of inquiry and search
at Kauai. During the voyage of the
steamer from kailua, Hawaii, to Wal
mea, Kauai, the speed of the vessel
was reduced and rockets thrown up
during the night, but without any
response. The steamer left Waimea
at 10 An. on the 18th for cruise
around Niihau, to take her departure
from thence about evening for the
scene OF the wreck of the Lady Lamp
son, viz: Palmyra Island. It is com
puted that the G. r. Bishop will re-
turn to port about the 10th of March,
and if no news of the Lampson's
boat is obtained, it is expected that
some other news may be obtained
from that quarter, so prolific
in shipwrecks, as to repay in
some slight measure the trouble and
expense incurred in the expedition.
On the various islands called at the
action of the Government has been
most favorably commented on, and
will no doubt meet with like criticism
abroad.
On Kauai, Deputy Sheriff Stolz,
Sheriff Wilcox and Deputy-Sheriff
Deverill have assisted in every way,
but as yet no news. The G. r. Bishop
left at $50 Pm. for the cruise south.
