Peterson Is So years of age. He
was born in Gothenburg, Sweden. He
came to this country eighteen years
ago from San Francisco in the old
schooner Lizzie Wight which was
bought by Pilot Shepherd for Allen &
Robinson. Her name was afterward
changed to Kalawahi. He NAMED
in Honolulu for a short time and then
sailed for Portland, Oregon, returning
soon again to make trip to Guano
Island in the schooner G.. NJ. Ward,
which was commanded by Captain J.
A. King, the present Minister of the
Interior. He returned to this port
and soon after was given the position
he now holds. He married an Ha-
waiian who died four months after
her child was born. The pledge Of
their union still lives to cheer the
fathers heart.
For long time it has been custom
airy for the merchants of Honolulu to
present the lookout with q Christmas
purse. This year will be no excep-
ton TO the rule, only it is expected
that the sum will be larger one than
usual. 1t is soon time for the money
TO be collected and "Charlie" deserves
