Later in the morning the lwalani

sible. She left shortly after eleven
o'clock with CsptSin Campbell, sew
erSl newspaper writers, among them
J. w. Preston, who represents the
ADVERTISER, and a gang OF native
steyedores- The steamer is chartered
from day 70 day, So ii is not known
when she will return.
The loss Of the bark caused great
deal OF comment in shipping circles
yesterday, and Captain Wolters was
ceusured by most people. Ii Is not
understood why he allowed his vessel
TO get so close in shore, and then again,
men who claim 10 know are OF the
opinion that il he had dropped his an
ehors he might have saved her from
drifting on the rocks, but il appears
that he did not take that precaution.
The captain is also eensured for leav-
ing the vessel in the manner in which
he did; not s soul was left in her. and
according 70 maritime law anybody
who boarded her could claim owner
ship or st least heavy salvage.
The G. y. Wilcox was built in Scot
land in lS92 and had made but one
successful voyage. She is owned prin-
eipally in Germany snd was valued st
above $4,000. She was named after
g. y. Wilcox, prominent Hawaiian
citizen.

THE SCENE AT THE WRECK.
How the Lost Bark Looks to
Eye Observers.

The George y. Wilcox will be to-
tAl wreck. OF this there is no possi-
ble doubt. 1t may be possible to save
some few hundred dollars worth Of the
cargo, and some Of the sails and rig
ging; bat that is all. To all intents
and purposes the beautiful bark is
doomed If the present good weather
continues, she may last for days. If a
storm comes, she will break up in a
short time. The wreck lies in about
three fathOms Of water. 1t Is nearly
parallel with the shore, being slightly
bows on She heads about southeast
by east.
The Iwalaui left here shortly after
II o'clock yesterday morning. On
board Of her were Captain Campbell,
OF the Iuter-I-Iand Company; John

tin respectively. The tug Eleu had
left about two hours before, with Cap
tain WOIters and the crew Of the
wrecked bark, Captain King, c. l.
Wight, Mr.. Wolters, Of Hackfeld &
Co, and several others.
There was 10 other topic Of eonver-
satiOn on the trip, naturally, except
the wreck Various opinions were
expressed as to how she struck, why
she struck, and where she struck.
Every one seemed to be Of the same
opinion ss to the way she happened to
20 ashore. All who professed any
knowledge Of nautical affairs agreed
that Captain WOlters had, while try
ing to make the channel, found him
self too close in shore, and tried 10
tack, but failed Then, in trying TO
wear, the current struck him, ana he
was unable to bring the bark around.
Then she struck, nearly bows on. This,
view however, turned out to be wrong.
From the Captains own story
ne was, about half past four,
hove 10 two and 4 half miles from
shore. He was making about three
miles an hour He tried to wear ship,
but when she came half way around
on the sfsrboard tack the current
caught her, and she begzn drifting
swiftly IN shore. There Ea= only a
