BIRTHDAY PARTIES ON MAUI

MAUI, Feb. 27.-The unloading of
the wrecked bark Leahi has continued
steadily. Probably about 200 tons of
coal have been brought ashore-thus
already paying the purchaser. 1t is ru-
mored that ropes are to be fastened
to her and that steam plows are to be
used to haul her nearer the beach, so
as to clear the harbor of the derelict.
She has been keeled over considerably,
and is lying on her side. The bottom
of her hull is so badly broken that they
cannot save her. The Leahi is the yes
sci from which several sailors desert
ed some time ago, refusing to voyage
longer in her, considering her unsea-
worthy condition. A commission, con-
sisting of Messrs. Goodness and King
of Wailuku, declared her fit for service.
