'Ghe Gainsborough.

AS a thoughtless person once con-
nected with this vessel has epdea-
vored to prejudice the officers of the
ship in regard to its stranding, and
requested The INDEPENDENT to pub
lish certain statements and request a
formal Investigation, a representa-
tive OF this paper called upon one in
authority in regard to the matter.
He ascertained that through in
vestigation had been informally
held, and that the charges alleged
we're absolutely baseless and dictat-
ed through temporary lack of dis
erection. The facts ascertained will
be reported to the Board of Trade.
So far the captain and officers are
deemed to be fully exonerated from
blame.

The Flftieth Anniversary Of Ills
Arrival 10 this Country.
Biography of Lawyer, Statesman
and All Round Prominent and
Honored Citizen of Hawaii.

On the 9th of September, 1916,
6fty years ago this day, arrived in
Honolulu man who has identified
himself with the progress OF the
Hawaiian Islands, who has material
ly assisted in developing the re-
sources of the islands, and who at
all times has promoted good and
liberal Government for his adopted
country and for his friends the
Hawaiians.
The man is Herman A. Widemann.
There is no better known man
in this country than the man who
to-day can look back upon fifty
years of useful, unseliish and noble
work in the interest OF Hawaii.
The jubilant is absent on this
memorable day, but we have no
doubt that he will remember with
pleasure the many friends who send
him across the sea, their hearty con-
gratulstions and deep-fet sincere

military family his father having
seen servics during the Napoleonic
era of 18l2-15, in Russia aud in
France. He received a thorough
general training, and was especially
educated to follow the profession Of
his father. The many obstacles
thrown in the way o( promotion in
the German armies made Widemann
dissatisfied and he loft his military
career. He went to sea and after
serving in different vessels he finally
found himself ON board q whaler
bound for the South Seas. The

Honolulu ia 1843 aud 1874 and the
