will be turned out as good as new.
The Claudine belongs 20 the Wilder
Stea mship Company OF Honolulu and is

quires a steamer she is always chosen. 1t
was the Claudine that raced a British
man-ol-war to Necker Island and hoisted
he Hawaiian flag over that barren rock
before the English vessel got there. The
island was wanted for resting place for
the proposed ca bIe from Australia to
America, but Hawaii wanted the resting
place on Oahu Island, and therefore an
nexed Necker to bring the BrItisner to
terms.

they were no good 10 him, and Mr.. Adams
might have them for $5
The offer was refused, and the smart
young man was still trylng to make a sale
when Donald Ross OF Ross & Hewlett

recognized the trick, but before he could
