Among the marine disasters, in the
Pacific, of which no record has ever
been received, is that of the U. S. Ship
Levant, under command of Captain
Hunt, which occurred about SO years
ago. She was a vessel of perhaps 1900
tons burthen, with about $50 men,
more or less, and arrived at Honolulu,
on her last trip, June II, 1860. After
a stay of two months in port, she sail
ed in August for the Coast, via La
hama and HilO, leaving the latter port
in October of the same year. After
that, she was never seen or heard
from, the general and probably correct
supposition having been that she foun-
dered in a very heavy storm which
swept across the Pacific in the autumn
of that year. The disaster must have
been so sudden, that no time was given
to save the lives of those on board by
taking to the boats or building raft.
Whatever may have been the cause Of
her disappearance, it is quite certain
that no one on her survived. In the
spring of the following year, the U.
S. war steamer Wyoming was dis
patched from Panama by the U. S.
Government, in search of her, and call
ed at Honolulu. She returned to Pa
mama without learning anything re-
garding the missing vessel.
1t was in the summer Of 1861, that
the writer, then making one of his
periodical trips around Hawaii, arrived
at WaiOhinu, in Kau. While there, a
native fisherman reported that large
ships spar had floated on shore, and
lay on the rocks near Kaalualu, which
is the most southern point of Hawaii.
Subsequently, it was learned that this
same spar, or one similar to it, had
been seen in the water off shore, by
fishermen, some two months previous
June, 1861, but it had disappeared.
Being at that time, editor and pub
Usher of the Pacific Commercial Adj
vertiser, the mans story furnished suf-
ficient inducement to the writer to visit
the spot and examine the spar. In
company with the late Charles n
Spencer, who was then living at Wal
ohinu, we visited Kaalualu village the
native fisherman having been secured
as guide. A ride of two hours, and a
walk of half a mile over rough lava
rocks brought us to the place where
the spar lay perched five or six feet

MR.. H. M. WHITNEY'S NARRATIVE
Had Communication With the Unit
ed States Government-Wor
of Native Fishermen.

The recent loss of a large Atlantic
steamship, by collision with wreck in
mid-ocean; and also the late report
Of a ships hull, bottom-up, having
been seen off Hawaii by one of the
packets plying between San Francisco
and Honolulu-have directed attention
to the occasional disappearance of
ships at sea, of which no definite re-
ports have ever been obtained. AS the
less of the Atlantic steamship referred
TO may interest the reader, the ac-
count is inserted here:
NEW YORK, February 12.-The Am
erican line steamer st. Louis, Captain
Randle, which arrived today from
Southampton, reports the loss at sea
of the Holland-American line steamer
York. The passengers and crew of the
Veendam were saved by the St. Louis.
At quarantine, Captain Stenger of
the Veendam reported as follows: ''The
Veendam left Rotterdam, February 3,
with a general cargo, nine cabin, 118
steerage passengers and So crew, bound
for New York. February at about
6:17 p. M, the steamer struck a sub
merged wreck or wreckage, which
probably tore hole in the ships bot
tom and broke her propeller shaft. We
Immediately set all pumps to work, but
Notwithstanding this, the water gain

cat 100 a. M, we observed the mast
head lights of a large steamer which
proved to be the ST. Louis of the Am
erican line, bound from Southampton
for New York. We hailed her, and
reported that our ship was sinking, and
that we wished to be taken off. AT
1 40 a. M, we commenced to transfer
our passengers and crew, using three
boats of the st. Louis and one Of our
ships. Our men were kept at the
pumps.
Cat 4:53 o'clock Monday morning,
everybody had been transferred to the
st. Louis. When the last boat left, the
Veendam was laboring very heavily
and sinking rapidly by the stern. The
transfer of the passengers and crew
took, Notwithstanding the great diff
culties and high sea running, three
hours and ten minutes, and was &C
complished without the slightest acct
dent. AS the wreck was a dangerous OBJ
struction to navigation, we decided to
set her on fire, which was done"
