sent from the Honolulu iron works

cial Sugar Co., Maui. The Hawaii
went to the P. NJ. s. S. Co.'s wharf,
hoping to find a suitable place
there for hosting the roller on

went there, but the idea of hand
ling it was given up, as the planks
at that wharf were not strong
enough to bear such a heavy
weight. The Hawaii was taken

dray brought the roller there. After
heavy iron chains had been wound
around the roller, the donkey en-
CINE on board the steamer began to
hoist. The roller was raised but u
few inches when one of the links
gave way, and the heavy casting
came down with crash upon the
dray. The vehicle was not injured
by the fall, but the hind wheels
were sunk into the wooden planks
of the wharf. About fifteen
minutes afterwards, the roll
