WAIALEALE WITH CARGO OF RICE

Along the waterfront yesterday there
were signs of an abatement of the
plague-stricken appearance which was
apparent the day before. Before noon,
when il was evident that the Pake
owners of lot of bananas and oranges
from Kona were in limbo, and would
not claim their goods off the Mauna
Loa, handsome Mort Tuft, purser of
that steamer, received word to dispose
of the perishable unclaimed fruit. AS
an auctioneer he was an immense sue
cess. Good prices were realized, con-
sidering the bad state of the local mar
ket for the products, which will be
turned over 10 the Pake merchants.
During the morning the steamer Maui,
from Hamakua, came TO an anchorage
along with the Mokolii, from Molokai,
off the boat houses among the mosquito
fleet, and in the afternoon the Waia-
leale, from Kappa, Joined them. These
three vessels were allowed to take on
SpCOldl lACI7Hl ny vi Tic u

Lahaina and Kaanapali general freight
and sails this afternoon; the Mauna
Loa sails at 10 o'clock this morning;
both these vessels will enjoy listening
to the surf and rolling on the pillows
for the coming week. The Waialeale
brought a cargo of rice from Kappa
which was sent away Immediately on
Tho NTn1-nIii no ;olo L.
will try to load special cargoes not
