HAMAKUA NOTES.

HoNoKAA, Feb. Sth.-The sea con-
tinues as rough rs ever, this morning
il appeared little calmer and the
Waialeale left her safe anchorage AT
Waipio and was at the HOnokaa land
ing by 1880 A. NJ. She sent a few
boats ashore but after landing their
cargo, one was dashed to pieces on the
rocks while trying to get back to the
steamer. When the catastrophe was
to avert it, three of the five boatmen
jumped into the foaming sea, while
the remaining three men were dashed
OF the rocks but luckily escaped back
to the ship with only a few slight
injuries.
No freight was lost. The Waialeale
did not again attempt to land, and
left a little while after for Honolulu.
Hataishi an eX-contract man of the
Honokaa Sugar Co., was arrested last
Monday for peddling without license.
He was released on S25 bail, but on
Wednesday did not appear and con-
seduently forfeited his bail.
The rain has come down as usual
during the 'sslumbering night" but
today it has rained all day, at p. NJ.
it is still raining and will continue so,
probably to the end of the week. Our
main street is pool of water from
one end to the other, and the
oil clothing in the different stores
nearly all sold.
The wind has abated for the past
two days.
The Inter-Island Steamship Com
pany has our sympathy in the loss of
their steamer G. r. Bishop. She piled
between this and other Hamakua
ports from 1852 to almost 1886, and
with the exception of the Kinau was
our only means of outside commune
cation
Our Kinau mail arrived this MORN
ing nearly three hours after time. No
foreign mail was expected, and people
were surprised to hear there was one.
Mr.. NJ. V. Holmes left by the Lee
hua from Paauhau. He expected to
leave Honolulu for San Francisco by
the Alameda. He left for the Coast
principally to visit his parents in
California. While there he will pay a
brief visit to the Midwinter Fair.
After transacting some business,
he will return TO these Islands some
time next month.
Mr.. Joseph Weston is in charge of
his business during his absence.
Mrs. Kaniu Lumaheihei is in town
for a short visit.
The Read Board paid off on the
5th inst.
HoNoKAA, Feb. 12th.-The rain has
ceased and high winds prevailed dur
ing the forenoon.
The sea is still more agitated, the
great waves breaking over the rocks
and sending clouds of spray over cliffs
800 or 400 feet high.
The Lehua arrived at Paauhau on
Friday, but could not send boat
either to land the passengers or
mail. She had to steam to Waipio
and has remained there since.
The Waialeale is expected to-
morrow. 1t is hoped she will be able
to land her freight. The stores are all
run short of many an article OF food
and personal comfort.
Mr.. Z. T. Richard will leave this
week for Kona overland via Hawai-
hae.
Two japanese were arrested yester-
day for working on Sunday. They
were both released on depOSltInS olO
bail each. Their cases will be tried
today.
Rev. Father Paul Raulin celebrated
two masses at st. Stephens at Kukui-
haeIe.
Waipio rice IS quoted at s. hum
dredweight.
The Kinau mail leaves today at 8
p. VI. for Kawaihae to board the XII
nau at the above named port.
There is no important news, ex-
cept the rather startling information
that Paul OF Paul VS.. Wilson fame is
an amateur pugilist. Does Paul in
tend to challenge Corbett or defeated
English Mitchell?
