Box-The Buoy Hasg Disappeared .

The finding of opium tins in Lahaina
by the Lehua to the extent that the in
formation furnished the Government,
on which the revenue steamer was sent
out, was correct.
On that expedition, quite late one af-
ternoon, Captain Macauley and Port
Surveyor Sanders were out in small
boats trawling the bay. Suddenly Cap
tain Macauley felt his trawl strike
something at the bottom of the bay.
The rowing ceased and native diver
was sent down, but he remained but
moment Coming back to the surface
of the water, he reported that there
was a shark lying on the bottom, and
he was afraid to stay down. The cap
tain said it was preposterOus, and gave
him instructions to go down again, and
handed him knife to protect himself
with in case he was attacked.
When the diver came up the second
time he reported box, instead of a
shark, at the bottom.
The captain shouted to Sanders that
he had found the opium, but Sanders
was so busy watching his own boat,
which was being blown to leeward,
that he did not pay much attention to
Macauley. The latter fixed a buoy to
his trawl, intending to continue his
search the next morning, as it had
grown too dark to do anything further
that night.
With the drifting or blowing of San
ders' boat his trawl pulled Macauley's
buoy out of position, how far he could
not determine, but when he went to
look for it next day it was away from
the box. Before he could search further
orders were received to return home.
The matter was reported to Captain
Andrews on Maui, but he considered
the tale too fishy to give it much
credence. At all events, the opium was
not heard of again until portions of it
washed up on the Maui beach a few
days ago.
The scheme for hunting for the
opium that trip was one of Deputy Col
lector McStocker'S, and he believes that
if the Lehua had not been taken out of
commission when she was the great
bulk of the opium that is said to have
been thrown overheard from the Nor
ma would have been found by the Gov
eminent agents.
