A PAINFUL RESCUE.
Inspector Hobson's Slow Life Saving
Last Night.

A blood curdling yell, followed by
splashes and loud cries for help, dis
turbed Customs Inspector Hobson just
after IL o'clock last night, while the
inspector was patrolling his watch at
railroad wharf. He ran to the end of
the wharf and saw the man who was
doing the yelling, struggling in the wa
ter. Hobson ran for a rope and threw
it to the man in peril, who grabbed it
and held on. He proved to be one of
the hands from the schooner Inca, lying
close by. He had been ashore for
time and was stealing aboard over the
rigging when something broke and he
fell
Hobson found the sailor too heavy to
haul up on to the wharf, and Jack
didn't seem to be in condition to do any
climbing. No one else showed up to
give assistance and all the customs
men could do in the emergency was to
hold the rope, while the tar hung on to
the other end and swore. "Therell be
a change in the watch at twelve"
shouted Hobson, land then helpn
come"
For half an hour the customs man
held one end of the rope and the sailor
held the other. Jack circled about in
the water below, trying to find way
to get up a pile, now and then yelling
advice to Hobson, and all the time be-
coming more nearly sober. There was
talk Of sharks and Jack said it was
getting cold, but he hung on. little
before twelve the change in watch APP
peared, and Hobson had help. There
were two customs men then, and to-
gether they managed to haul the sailor
out
The sailor seemed to be a bit under
the influence yet and he had another
hard climb aboard. The customs Off
GERS asked him where he had been and
u he hoH al "a

ing devious trail of salt water as he
ambled across the deck to the fore

TWO MONTHS MORE DELAY
THE NEW OCEANIC STEAMSHIP
SERVICE.
Strike in Philadelphia Delays Compile
Continue for Another Trip.

The new steamer Sierra of the Oceanic
Line, will not be here on September II,
according to the time table issued by
the company. Owing to the strike In
Philadelphia there has been a lot of
delay in getting her finishings, and she
will be at least two months later than
expected. 1t is thought now that she
will be here by the middle of November.
The time for the arrival of the other
two new steamers is also doubtful. 1t
was the intention to have all three
the Sonoma, Sierra and Ventura-on the
run by December IL. The Sonoma was
listed for leaving the Coast on October
81, and the Ventura December IL. Now
it is not known when they Will come,
and the difficulties of getting them built
according to program are such that the
people of Honolulu will be glad If the
new service begins this year at all. In
the meantime if the old steamers are
taken off, as was the intention, the Is
lands will have less mail, passenger
and freight facilities. Everyone is look
ing forward to the beginning of the new
service, which will relieve the present
difficulties of passenger travel. 1t is
long time between steamers that can
take passengers to the Coast now.
The Sierra was on the time table to
leave San Francisco on September 8, in
place of the Mariposa, which, according
to program, is now on her laSI TRIP over
the San Francisco Honolulu Sydney
route. The Mariposa is at Sydney, to
leave August l and arrive here on the
18th, and in San Francisco on the oath,
after which she was to have been laid
off for repairs and alterations. In view
of the delay of the Sierra it is thought
that she will be sent over the route
again in place of the Sierra, arriving
back in San Francisco on November 16,
or just about in time to let the Sierra
take her place on the following trip.

Demonstrating the Difference Be-

Several gentlemen in the lobby of an up
town hotel few evenings since were dis
cussing the agitation in The Star for
complete change in the system Of teaching
in the schools of Washington.
The consensus of opinion was that such
change was most desirable, and, since a
couple of the group came from other cities.
1t was agreed that the innovation could be
followed with profit elsewhere.
