SEIZURE OF A SCHOONER.
Deputy Sheriff W. Sheldon Makes a
Haul.

William Sheldon, the Deputy
Sheriff Of Waianae, and one Of the
cleverest opium catchers III the
country, made good haul on Satur
day. He received information that
schooner was anchored at X, au on
this island. Proceeding TO that
place he met n man from the vessel
and arrested him. He then notified
the Honolulu authorities, and Mar
shall Brown, Deputy Collector Nc
Stocker, Port Surveyor Sanders, aud
a posse OF police Immediately emu
barked in the Eleu and steamed for
Keau.
The schooner was boarded by
Marshal Brown aud formally seized
by McStocker for violating the reve-
nue. laws Of the Hawaiian Islands
The schooner, which flies the
British flag, is called the Henrietta,
Anderson master. She is from Vic
toria, B. c., bound for La Paz,
Mexico. The captain claims that
he called at Keau to Obtain water
and provisions. The crew consist
of three white men and a Chinese
cook. On board was a passenger
who gave his name as @. +. Gale.
On board the schooner was found
considerable amount of tins sup
posed to contain opium. The mani
fest states that the cargo is opium
for La Paz. The amount described
ON the manifest is identically the
same as was shipped some time ago
by the. Custom House to r. p.
Rithet, Victoria-a fact OF consider
able significance.
The Custom House authorities
have engaged the assistance of the
secret service in Victoria and have
been in receipt Of letters notifying
them of the departure from Veto
ria of the Henrietta with opium os
tensibly for Mexico, but believed to
be intended for Hawaii 1t was act
ing under that information that the
Eleu has been chasing around lately
and catching bibles. The dope was
finally located by Mr.. Sheldon with
out the assistance of the Customs
officials or their man-of-war.
There was no change id the price
of opium during the day, which
shows that the lot caught was not
depended on by the dealers, and
that the Henrietta has had ample
time and opportunity to land at
other points Nobody believes for
a moment that the vessel, il she is
smuggler, would come here with
only half a ton on board of cheap
stuff.
The Henrietta is lying at the
Oceanic wharf in charge Of customs
officers, and her master, crew and
the passengers slept in Jail last
night.
