was discovered by Pilot Sanders, who
went to the lookout of the pilot office
very early in the morning Il was too
dark for him to make out whether the
/ large steamer. outside was the Gaelic
or not, but upon inquiry by telephone
at the Custom house he found that the
Coptic had left the evening before. He
notified the postoffice and the Port
Physician and they went out in the
| pilotbOat. II was then found that the
steamer had anchored before o'clock.
This is two out of three foreign steam

Bell Buoy Sunk.
The bell buoy has been replaced by
red can buoy. The big bell buoy
was found to be missing about a week
ago and it is thought by some to have
been sunk by one of the many vessels
which lie outside at night.
The bell buoy first made it's appear
ance in Hawaiian waters off the coast
of Kauai about ten years ago. 1t had
broken away from its mooring on the
California coast and. driven by wind
and sea, made its way here. Pilot
Macaulay, at that time captain of the
James Makee, passed it one night, but
could not make out what it was. A
few days later it was reported ashore
on Kauai, between Waialua and Ha-
namaulu, and the Makee was sent aft
er il and brought 1t here. 1t was sold
by the Inter-Island people to the Ha-
waiian Government and has done duty
ever since. AS soon as possible the
buoy will be raised and repaired and
returned TO its position.
