TO STEAL A STEAMER.
THE CHARGE ON WHICH A MAN HAS
BEEN JAILED.
the Destination All Ready to
Leave.

If the little steamer Waimanalo
does not gain notoriety at the pres
ent time it will not be for lack of
peculiar positions in which she has
been placed. In December Captain
William Davies took her out and
landed arms from her, used in the
late rebellion. From that time
forward her name has been heard
daily in the Military Court room,
and has appeared in the papers far
and near. Alexander Hill, a new
conner, succeeded Davies as Captain
of the Wainanalo. He vas in the
employ of Davies when the arms
were landed. Hill has had a good
deal of trouble here.
The latest freak Of the Wanna
nalo is with her new captain. 1t
is seldom that man attempts to
steal steamer, but that is what is
charged against Hill, who was
arrested about noon today. The
allegations are that he took on a
lot of coal and provisions yesterday
and intended leaving for Tahiti to-
day or Monday. Enough supplies
had been taken aboard to last a
month. Two other men living
here, were in the plot.
The scheme was known to the
authorities, but action was delayed
until this morning. Hill was locked
up, and the other two men will be
arrested. The coal was taken from
the steamer. Hill denies point
blank that he intended taking the
steamer, but the owners assert that
they have all the evidence needed.
The Waimanalo will likely be
sold to Jack Galway this afternoon.
He intends to resell her.
Fred Meyers and Mrs. McNabb
were arrested late this afternoon on
suspicion Of completely in the
scheme to seize the Waimanalo and
go south. A trunk and bag, full
of private effects, were also seized,
the opinion being that important
evidence is to ne found among the
papers.
