A d eplorable Event

On Saturday afternoon the news
OF the sudden death of an estimable
young lady under peculiar circum-
stances shocked the community
Miss Grace Kahea, while visiting
her schoolmates at her alma Mater,
the Kameh ameha Girls School, dur
ing fit Of melancholia and despon-
dency, produced by ill health which
must have rendered her Temporal
rily mentally unbalanced, threw
herself from one of the windows in
the third story of the dormitory, a
distance of about forty feet, to he
ground. Miss Kahea was beloved
by all her schoolmates and respect
ed by her teachers and by every one

a deep gloom and sorrow over the
school where she was diligent
aud faithful scholar and has brought
sorrow into more thar one family in
the city of Honolulu.

The, La Bourgogne Inquiry.

LONDON, Jan. 12-The Admiralty
Court to-day found that La Bour-
gogne, of the Compagnie Generate
Trans -Atlantique, was alone to
blame for the collision with the Brit
ishs hip Cromartyshire, on July 4th
last, off Sable Island, coast of Nova
Scotia, resulting in the sinking of the
steamer and the loss Of over 500
lives.
The court found that La Bour-
gogne was travelling at an excessive
speed in the fog and must have rip.
ped more than one of her thirteen
bulkheads, which accounted for her
sinking so rapidly. 1t was further
found that the Cromartyshire could
not have rendered any more assist
ance than she did. In the judgment
OF the court, the loss of La Bour-
gogne is attributed to the fact that
the Cromartyshire racked her star
board side, thus damaging the boats
and she consequently listed to the
starboard, rendering the port boats
unavailable. The court awarded
damages to the Cromartyshire
which will be assessed by the Regis
trar.
