The Kipau arrived in port from Ha-
wall about l o'clock yesterday morning
after as rough passage almost as she
has ever undergone. AS she was en-
tering Laupahoehoe she had the mis-
fortune to lose a man overheard and
although everything possible was done
to rescue the unlucky man, he was lost.
The sea was very rough at the time and
the Kinau was rolling and plunging to
great extent; Wainae, an old native
sailor, the man who was lost, was near
the rail at the time of the accident and
was rather careless in his movements,
according to the testimony of eyewit-
nesses.At any rate the boat gave an un-
sually severe lurch when Wainae hap
pened to be in particularly dangerous
position and the consequence was that
| he was hurled overheard, being quick
| ly left far astern. AS soon as he was
| seen to fall the cry of Man overheard
| was given and several men rushed to
| the rail armed with life preservers and
ropes. 1t was during the night time
| and the darkness was profound;
| searchlight was Immediately brought
| into use and although it was a risky
piece of business a boat was lower
ed and a thorough search was
made for the missing man. He was
not found. however, and the search had
to be abandoned. Wainae had been to
sea for the greater part of his life

With the carcasses of several cattle
aboard, the little steamer Kaiulani
came into port early yesterday morning
from Molokai after the toughest trip of
| all her experience. She took 80 head of
| cattle from Kawaihae to Kalaupapa; it
was in landing the cattle at Kalaupapa
! that the hardest time was met with.
| The sea was of the kind that rendered
| it very unpleasant aboard the steamer
! while she was at anchor. The cattle
had to swim ashore and many of them,
| when they finally reached the land,
were in such an exhausted condition
| that they could not stand. During the
| trip from Kawaihae to Kalaupapa,
when the winds and the waters did
their level best to swamp the little
steamer, many of the animals were kill
ed as the result of being trampled upon
by the others. These carcasses were
brought back to Honolulu and turned
over to the slaughter house.
The Lehua was at Kalaupapa while
the Kaiulani was there; she too had a
taste of the bad weather that she will
not soon forget.
At 2:45 a. m. yesterday the steamer
w. G. Hall arrived from Nawiliwili
with several passengers and the follow
ing freight: 100 bags of pia, so bags OF
taro / horse, / COW, 26 meat casks and
Sc packages of sundries. She met with
strong trade winds and a heavy sea.
Late last evening the steamer Maui
came into the harbor from Maui ports
also reporting very rough weather, but
fortunately, having no accidents OF
misadventures to relate. She sailed
from Kahului at 8 o'clock yesterday
, morning and had to stop at way
, port to pick up cattle, this, together
, with the fact that she was day late
in leaving Honolulu on account of the
elections. was the cause of her arriv
ing at late hour. AS a matter of fac
she was not behind time as many sup

of the most severe weather of the sea

as well as the seamanship of her cap
