SEA AND SHORE
How the Mariposa Was
TeIephOned.
ne Henry Villard--Mauna Loa From
Hawaii = New Regulations.
Harbor Notes.

Yesterday the usual Sunday quiet
reigned on the waterfront. The call
of the ship Henry Willard for orders
and the departure of the four-masted
schooner Annie VI. Campbell were the
principal events of the day. During
the morning some of the yachts were
out for a spin, the Abbie NJ. going as
far as Koko head. Clarence Macfarlane
with a party consisting of Governor
Sam Parker, w. Porter Boyd and Jock
Carter went out in the launch Julie to
visit Col w. II. Cornwell, who is
aboard the Mauna Loa. Work on the
new wharf is TO all intents and pur-
poses finished and the shed is now
ready to receive freight. On account
of the hardness of coral encountered
the dredger has not worked as quickly
as was anticipated and about two hum
dred feet of the wharf is all that can
be used at present. This is sufficient
space for almost any of the cargo yes
sells however.
The Mariposa's Call.
Captain Houdlette of the Mariposa
was pretty mad when the pilot-boat
went alongside early Saturday morn
ing. The Captain said he had been
fooling around outside since midnight
and of course thought the lookout on
Diamond Head would report him. The
Diamond Head man, however, did not
know the Mariposa was around until
telephoned IT, by the Custom house
people. A furious footing of a big
whistle attracted the attention of the
district inspector, who, upon investiga-
ton, saw the lights of the vessel off
the harbor. Blue lights were burned,
signifying that the Mariposa wanted a
pilot, and Captain Sanders was rung
up and went out. Houdlette expected
that the mail would be brought out in
the pilot-boat, so he could get away
without having to wait, but it was not
and the genial Captain said something
under his breath. The steamer was
anchored by Captain Sanders, and the
mail and Bert Peterson, the only pas
segner for this port, were brought
ashore in the pilot-boat. The steamer
left for the Coast about 10 a. m. Satur-
day, taking the mail only. A small
amount of freight for this port was ia
ken on to San Francisco. Head winds
delayed the steamer, else she would
have been here on time.
The Henry Willard.
The American ship Henry Willard
was spoken by Pilot Lorenzen yester-
day in the forenoon. She was forty
days from TsintoI and is bound for
HilO having come here for orders.
Captain r. Quick reports that he left
New York on July 10 of last year. His
wife and child sailed with him. Seven
ty days from New York his wife died
leaving the baby to be taken care of
by it's father. From Tsintou the ship
sailed in ballast and on the voyage the
boatswain died of typhoid fever He
was buried at sea. Captain Quick Pc
ports that there was no sickness at
Tsintou when he left. He will load
sugar at Hilo for New York.
