KAALA is LOST
An Inter-Island Company
Steamer Wrecked.
Blind Rollers Landed Her on the
Reef-Effort at SaVing-Had
Cargo of Sugar.

The steamer Kaala of the Inter-Isl
and fleet is total wreck on the reef
at Kahuku. Nothing whatever was
saved and the captain and crew landed
safely at Laie in the steamers boats
with nothing of their belongings but
what they happened to have on their
backs
The Kaala left this port last Monday
morning with freight for Kahuku and
Punaluu. She succeeded in landing all
this in good shape and close upon )
p. m. Tuesday, started out of Kahuku
for Honolulu with load of 1000 bags
of sugar for NJ. S. Grinbaum & Co.,
valued at 81 800 and fully covered by
insurance. The weather was rough,
but not any worse that that experience
ed many times by Captain Mosher at
Kahuku. As the Kaala was steaming
slowly over the bar. heavy seas came
in and the steamer struck fairly on the
bar. She refused to answer her helm
and was struck by other seas. Then
she got into a trough and began to
fill with water rapidly. In a short
time she was on the reef Captain
MOsher seeing that there was no help
for her, ordered his men into the boats
and all hands went ashore.
The Kaala was then pounding heav-
| lily on the reef and breaking to pieces
very rapidly. Telephone messages re-
ceived yesterday were to the effect that
the steamer had almost entirely broken
up.
The Kaala was built in San Fran
| cisco by the Dickey Bros. and was
| launched in November of 1887. Her
machinery was furnished by the Union
Iron Works and her boiler by the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works. Her register was
272 and her tonnage 9053. She was
valued at 100000. The Inter-Island Co.
| carried it's own insurance so the wreck
of the Kaala is a complete loss.
The officers of the Inter-Island Co
attach no blame whatever to Captain
Mosher and say that the wreck was
one of those unfortunate things liable
| to happen at any time and especially
in the treacherous waters at various
of the places on these Islands. Captain
| Mosher has always been known as a
careful and painstaking man who takes
| pride in doing his work we'll and al
all times. He and his crew will be VI

Government recently imported some
vaccine from England, France. Ger

Spring at Niu.

There is at the present time a very
interesting case in the Courts re-
garding a claim to a certain spring
on this island.
The land known as Niu belongs to
Chas. Lucas while Wailupe, immedi-
ately adjacent, is the property of the
Perry Estate.
The spring in question is down on
the seashore and the owner Of Niu
claims that the whole of it is on his
land and therefore, belongs to him.
The Perry Estate claims half the
