4 kANAkA DIVER.
Went Down to Fix an Anchor and
Remained Three Minutes


From the Sab Francisco Examiner.
Had il not been for the skill and endur-
ance of kanaka shell diver, the chances
are that the barkentine John d. Spreckles.
which plies between this port and the Ha-
waiar Islands. would have had TO sscri-
fee costly ancnor and chain while at
Mahukona recently.
The vessel made her usual visit TO that
little harfyor, and having discharged her
supplies and taken on considerable sugar,
tired to take her departure. The seamen
found. however, that the anchor had be-
come fast to the rocks at the bottom. and
they could not dislodge it. They waited for
the turn OF several tides, and still they
could not free the anchor
Capt Christensen did not want 10 lose
the anchor and yet that seemed to be The
only way out of the predicament. At last
happy thought struck him. He sent
ashore for a kanaka, who reputed TO
be a skillful diver, and when the dark
skinned fellow arrived. made bargain
with him TO release the anchor. which was
lying in ten fathoms Of water. This did
not seem to bother the Kanaka in the
least, however, and he piungei overheard
for a accommodating tour. He gone
about two minutes, and then returned 10
the surface 10 report that the anchor was
clinging to a conical-shaped bowlder. and
would have TO be dragged away from it.
One Of the sailors warned the diver TO be
on his guard. as several sharks had been
seen in the vicinity. The fellow only
2rinned
Shark no bite Kanaka," he said, and
then started for the bottom again, after
giving instructions to have the chain slack
ened.
This time the diver was gone nearly three
minutes. says Capt. Christensen. BY the
time he returned to the surface the IA pid
drifting of the vessel told those on board
that the anchor had been released. The
captain says the anchor was by no means
luh nd ha 10 of NOR nnN
the Ksnaka could handle it and yet survive
in that depth Of water.

no other reason On earth!
