sign OF steamer or other vessel, and the
distant mountain seemed as lar off as ever
For the first time the heroic girl began to
despair. She felt that she was growing
weaker. Nothing had passed her lips
since the morning before when they had left
port. She was growing faint, and won
dered If she ha not best give up the bat
tie; but not yet, and again she pressed on.
Her father had not moved for some time
she did not know if ne still lived. but dead
or alive if she reached the shore she would
bring him with her.
The steamer Lke-Like left port on that
morning two or three hours later than
usual, owing TO delay caused by the gale
the day previous. Straight out into the
channel she steamed. About o'clock in
the afternoon the man on watch called to
the officer of the deck that be saw some
strange object little ahead of the
steamer. Asked what it looked like he
said lie thought il some strange animal
nut hat 1t was surely alive as he saw il
move from time 20 time.
All hands watched for glimpse of the
object which had been reported, and in
half an hour they were near enough to
see 1t from the deck and to recognize it as
living being. A boat was quickly low
cred and rowed rapidly TO the side of the
object. They found a native girl with an
apparently dead man tied fast 20 her body
swimming feebly away from them. With
strO OF the oars they overlook her and
grasped her TO raise her into The boat. She
did not seem 10 know that any one was
near her nd still strove weakly 10 swim
away from them, but strong hands lifted
her I'D and laid her down in the bottom of
the boat. At first they thought the man
was dead, but when they reached the
steamers deck he was still family breath
ing, and in the hands of a skillful physi-
clan was brought to his senses.
But more interest was felt in the poor
girl than in him. When she had left
Laupaboehoe the morning before she was

cred, face. neck ard arms until the raw
flesh looked like nothing human.
Her hair was filled with salt crystals and
matted and knotted so that before thew
could do much for her they were obliged to
cut it off. But she was alive, and more than
that, she had saved her fathers life also.
When the steamer reached Homo lulu both
were in fair way to recover. Kalili was
the heroine of the day.
From the place where the schooner sunk
to where the steamer picked the cast

distance than that.
When Kalili recovered her strength her

weeks both were as strong as if thew had

After the smuggIer was released he and
his carvings went to the Eouse of Don
Garcia, wealthy Spanish resident Of
Gibraltar. After Juan's death Don Garci1
had the cannons mounted and placed them
on his mantel as an ornament. There
they remained until they became the prop
erty of G. c. Herbert, their present owner.
Herbert is now steward on the steamer
Queen, but sixteen years ago ne was a
sailor boy OF Is aboard the United States
man-of-war Richmond. When the Rich
mOnd dropped anchor in the harbOr of
Gibraltar she was visited by mum bers of
the resldents-Spanish as well as English.
Among the former were the wife and
daughter of Don Garcia. The daughter
was young girl of 10, and Herbert as
sumed the responsibility of showing her
about the ship. Through some mishap
she fell overheard. Herbert CALAMITY
went to the rescue and succeeded in keep
Ing her afioat until they were picked up
by the captains gig.
Garcia was anxious to reward Herbert
for his bravery, but the Yankee boy re-
fused to accept anything in the way Of
money. However. he very gladly accepted
an invita- ton to make the Garcia home his
headquarters when on shore. While there
he sa W and admired the stone cannons,
and was delighted with their somber his
tory. Don Garcia saw An opportunity to
show his gratitude and prevailed upon
Herbert to take them as a remembrance.
Though many years have passed, in
which Herbert has wandered over a good
part of the world, be still has the c0nvict's

offered a good price for them by men who
knew their history, but he declines TO

Then she dove down behind him. and after
many attempts succeeded IN getting the
boots off.
Then she started to swim back over the
course they had sailed that day. Think of
it. Alone, twenty-five miles from land,
with the sea tossing, tumbling waste OF
water, she determined to SWIM to land.
And not only TO swim to that distant land,
but to carry with her the almost helpless
old man.
The wind had died entirely away and
the sea was rapidly subsiding. That much
was in her favor. Then, toe, she knew
that next morning the steamer Like-Like
would cross the channel on her way from
Hilo to Honolulu. If she could keep
a1oat could see the steamer. could make
those on board see her, then she might
hope for rescue. Keeping Ter eyes fixed
on the distant mountain she SWAIN on and
on. sometimes towing her father by his
arm thrown across her shoulders, some
times pushing him forward with her breast
and using both arms, sometimes holding
him with one hand and swimming with
the other.
Hour after hour passed. She became
exhausted. and. turning upon her back,
hoated Tor while TO rest her strained
arms and shoulders; then again she swan
on. on toward that dim speck against the
darkening sky which she knew was
mighty Mauna Loa. That must be her
landmark until she came near enough to
the shore to see the lower land. No
matter what point she reached, only the
solid land, no matter whether near or far
from her starting point.
Night fell; but, watching the stars, she
kept her face turned toward the place
where, miles away, lay the loDged-for
land.
Kalamanu, while day lasted, was able
to hold his head above the waves, bat so0n
after nightfall he became too weak to do
even this. Finding that he was falling he
told his brave daughter 10 leave him and
strive TO save her own life. She refused :;
both or neither should reach the land.
Together they would meet their fate, good
or evil. When he became TOO weak TO
even keep his face above water she tore a
strip from her single garment and tied it
so as to keep his head on her shoulder.
On and on she tOiled.
Night passed, morning came and found
her with aching arms and shoulders still

shore. Up came the sun. and the t0rures

TWO TOY CANNONS
They Represent the Labor

THE WORK OF A PRISONER.
A Romance in Which a Yankee
Sailor Boy Took
Part.
THE WORK OF A PRISONER.

For some months two small stone cam
mons have ornamented the bar of a saloon
on Market street. Each gun is about Jour-
teen Inches long. carved from beautifully
motted sem-translucent rock which scien-
tlsts call aragonite. Though they are mere
toys, these cannOns have history which is
not rivaled by that of any of the historic
swamp Angels" or "Big Betseys." They
were made by a convict in the rock of
Gibraltar. For seventeen years he shaped
and polished these bits of stone, having
for tools only such chips of rock as lay
about his cave.
Juan. the maker of the cannons. was one
of gang of nondescript smugglers drawn
from half dozen nations and onerating
between Spain and Africa. He was
charged by the English authorities with
having participated in the murder of two
sailors, and after military trial was con-
demned to death. He was imprisoned with
the more desperate CT the English-cOnvict
colony in a recess within st. Michaels
Cave. For some reason the sentence of
death was never carried out, and ne re-
manned there for seventeen years. or until
1875, when the convict settlement at Glib
raliar was abolished and Juan, among
others, vas given his liberty.
During the whole seventeen years of his
Imprisonment Juan worked on his eau
mons, and when he was released one was
still unfinished. The models for the can
mons were the guns for the British bat
terry, which were always in sight through
the frame gateway of the cavern in which
he was confined. The material for ther
construction was found in the beautiful
specimens of aragonite, which have since
made s.. Michaefs Cave celebrated. For
tools he had his hands and pieces of gran
lite. limestone and stalactite formation.

are no men in the world more kind to

not regard those women as their intellec-

THE SINS OF FASHION.

A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take
the Sacrament Because of Tight Veil.
A most shocking yet ludicrous thing
occurred Sunday morning in one of the
leading churches Of this city. A beauti-
full young woman was the person guilty.
She was elegantly attired and wore
one of those peculiar wells that fit close
ly over the bonnet and face and tie in q
sort of hangman' Moose under the left
ear. After an eloquent and impressive
sermon the bread in silver salvers was
passed down the aisies by the mem bers
of the session. The lcdy who wore the
curious veil took piece OF bread and
tried to slip the knot at the ear, failing
in which she vainly endeavored to put
the morsel of bread under the veil into
her mouth, but she only drew the loop
tighter. She blushed, grew vexed and
tossed the typical fragment OF bread
carelessly into the aisle. The elder
turned just in time to observe her, and
the plate almost fell from his hands.
Several other faces took on a Mortified
expression and then a smile.
The fashionable young woman would
have given her hope Of heaven to have
been able to retreat from those glances,
but quick as she was after the service to
reach the door she was not soon enough
to escape the minister, who reprimand-
ed her privately on the sins of fashion.

THE VALUE OF WATER.

Ten Thousand inches to 30 Stored fn
San BsrnArdino County.
During no season in the history OF
Southern California has so much value
been placed upon water for irrigation
as during the present year-ths so-oalled
dry year of1S94. 1t ia calling forth tho
energy of many enterprises, and will
lead to many beneficial results. Irriga-
ton during the pact few years has been
going forward, but not 90 energetically
as it might have progressed, simply for
the reason that the true value OF water
had not been realized. Save for citrus
trees no need has been experienced, and
consequently but few new irrigation
propositions have become developed,
even when water in the greatest abuud-
ance could be procured. There is not
section in Southern California but could
be placed under an abundance OF water
If proper effort was made.
In San Bernardino county greater
and moro systematic effort has been
made than elsew here, and the result
justifes the belief that within the next
10 years systems quite az complete will
| be found in Orange, Santa Barbara, Ven
turs and San Diego counties.
The Arrowhead Reservoir company Of
San Bernafdino are progressing on
very large system they have in and.
Col. Adolph Wood, the vics-president of
the company, stated In the course of an
interview, few days ago, that it would
not be until 1896 that his company
would be able to aell water. Their first
effort had been to get complete iniorma-
ton as to the extent OF the rainfall
and the amount OF water that
could be secured in shed Of 70
odd miles that they will draw from.
When this information is complete
they will be able TO tell how much
water they will have. He thinks with
out overestimating they can count on
| 10, 600 inches, or enough to water 30 900
or $4,000 acres. 1t may exceed this,
| but If it, docs not the result will justify
the means employed to obtain 1t.
| The company now has men ct work
on their tunnels. one OF which 10 1900
feet in length. When the entire system
Is completed it will convey water for
distance OF go miles. He is thinking Of
using wooden pipe for a portion OF the,
way in carrying wRtsr, instead OF iron oil
other material. They have an abuntZ
ance of timber and q sawmdl or two

that on the score of economy wood VI
