ter. Her owners claim her to be a
very fast sailer. After remaining
at this port for several weeks, the
Tolna will contiue her cruise to
Tahiti, and perhaps Australia and
Japan. The count and countess
expect to reach their home in Aus

sighted the lights on shore he kept
his yacht outside. There was
heavy fog over the land at the time
and the mountain peaks were
dimly seen from where they were.

found her off the east side of Maui.

on deck was washed
overheard. A small boat securely
fastened in front Of the foremost

away by the sea. The count then
,urned the vessel back and came
around on the leeward side of the
sland, passing between Maui and
\ahoolawe. Last Tuesday, the
rolna made Koolau. She then
