"Shoe'-Mikahala from Kauai-The
Gainsborough on the Ways.

The Kauai will sail for Lahaina at
4 p. m. tomorrow. She takes a cargo
of coal, and several pieces of machin-
cry for Lahaina plantation
The lwalani for Hamakua; lie AI
Hou for Kauai ports; Kaala, for Oahu
ports; James Maliee for Kapaa; Mo-
kolii for Mololiai and the j. A. Cum
Minis, for Oahu ports, all sail on their
respective routes today.
The Claudine came in from Maui
ports yesterday morning She brought
her usual consignment of island pro-
duce, but no sugar. Kahului harbor
was destitute of shipping when the
Claudine left. She sails at p. m. to-
morrow on her regular route.
The steamer Kilauea Hou arrived in
port early this morning, bringing 1910
bags Paahau sugar. consigned to w.
G. Irwin G. Co., and which were placed
in the Oceanic warehouse. President
Dole returned by the Kilauea Hou,
having boarded the vessel in Mahr-
kona.
The Mikahala came in early yesteT-
day morning from Kauai. She brought
down 100 bags of Hanamaulu sugar
the last of that plantations crop for
the season-consigned to Hackfeld &
Co. She had also 21O bags rice, IS
bags rice bran, 10 bundles hides and
10 packages sundries. Several Kauai
people came down on the Nlikahall.
She sails again tomorrow at p. m. for
Kauai ports.
The Lehua was ashore on her last
up trip, on Mololtai. She has torn off
her shoe and done some damage to her
keel. Probably the vessel will have to
be hauled on the marine railway be-
fore again proceeding to sea. As the
Gainsborough now occupies the rail-
way, the Lehua may have a consider
able wait. She was ashore for some
two hours, and finally fioated, with the
assistance of kedge anchors.
The Gainsborough was hauled on
the marine railway on Saturday after
noon. She was taken up stern first, is
all the leakage was supposed to be in
her bow, to give the water chance
to clear itself. 1t now appears, how
ever, she is leaking generally fore and
aft, her rivets right along having been
shaken. Temporary repairs will be
made in Honolulu and the vessel will
be sent to San Francisco for thor
ough overhauling.
A. o. Benjamin, the diver, has ac-
comrliehad a dangerous feat, to ascer-
tain the extent of the damage done to
the wrecked Umatilla, now on the
beach near Point Wilson lighthouse. |
Benjamin was for some time in Homo
In and was engaged by the Wilder
Steamship Company to recover the
boiler of the wrecked Kihilani, which,
after several attempts, he succeeded
in doing, being severely hampered by
the strong currents running off the
point where the boiler lay.
