4 native fisherman made COM
plant to .Harbor Policeman Evans
this morning that some steamer or
schooner ran down his boat outside
last night, totally wrecking it and
compelling him to swim ashore. The
man said he had made a big haul of
fish and was taking a nap before he
started homeward when the accident
occurred. He had no warning of the
approaching danger, but was awak-
ened by being thrown into the water.
His boat was sunk and the cargo of
fish lost. Captain Bennett of the Mo
kolii remarked this morning that the
natives loss was no doubt due to his
own carelessness. Those fellows
he said, "anchor their boats i'm the
channel, without displaying any light
at all, and then go to sleep. | have
seen as many as twenty boats an
chored there, and have given more
than one a close rub at night, when
it is so dark one cannot see their lit
tie boats until right upon them.
shouldn't wonder if more than one
poor fellow had been run down and
drowned without anyone being the
wiser. They ought to be compelled
to display lights while lying in the
channel.
