" hard work of getting the
steamers ready for depart
ure today was made hard
er than usual While the
downpour lasted work was
practically suspended as the goods
handled were Of perishablc nature
and could not be safely loaded in the
wet At the Wilder and InterIslaud
wharfs there are piles of freight left
TO be put on the different steamers TO
day and on account OF the delay n
the handling OF the freight it is pos
sible that some OF the vessels will not
get away on time. The Mikahala was
got ready To take the Halls run today
and she took little freight in the
afternoon. The whole crew of the
Mauna Loa will be laid up with their
vessel except the purser and freight
clerks who will go out in the Hall.
Purser Linderman OF the Hall will
transfer his flag to the Mikahala and
remain on her while she is on the
Halls run. Purser Simerson of the
Mauna Loa is rather glad of the
change to the Hall from - regular
Kau liner, as he thinks that by the
time he returns the ghost which play
cd such merry pranks on the big YES
sci Will be effectually laid and there
will be no fear of a man sleeping
alone and being tackled in the night
by the clammy hands.
The Mauna Loa which began dis
charging the remainder of her sugar
into the George Curtis at the railroad
wharf yesterday will be finished this
evening, and tomorrow or as soon as
the Iwalani comes of the marine rail
way she will go on for a scraping and
painting. Her machinery will be
oycrhauled and IL Is probable that she
will take up her regular run again a
week from Friday. The work of coal
ing the transport Sheridan was not n
terrupted by the rain yesterday and
the coal passers drenched to the skin
hustled the coal aboard. Sunday they
had worked all day and by night last
night the seven hundred tons needed
were all aboard and slowed away 20
the vessel can leave this morning at 6
o'clock This she win do If the weather
permits.
Yesterday the band gave concert
on the upper deck OF the Sheridan and
Captain Berger was asked to play and
respond to many pieces that were not
on the program. Nearly all the pas
sengers were present and apparently
greatly enjoyed the music Dta-ing the
music. refreshments were served and
the afternoon, notwithstanding the IN
clemency of the weather, passed very
pleasantly
What promised to be a thrilling tale |
of shipwreck and disaster was spoiled |
early yesterday morning by the iden- |
tification OF the boat picked up at sea |
by the gasolene schooner Surprise N |
her way home from Kauai. She arriy- |
ed Sunday afternoon after quick |
round trip to the Garden Isle and |
when several miles on Nawiliwili head
she fell In with lot of floating wreck
age and ships boat The vessel was |
stopped and the boat hauled aboard. |
There were no marks or a name Nv |
which could be told what vessel II be- !,
longed TO. and on her arrival here the
news soon spread over the waterfront
that there had been a wreck. II was
thought that maybe the Fannie Adele
had suffered an accident but the boat
was not of the regulation steamer kind
that the schooner carries and so is
she was safely at anchor at the time
that the boat was found II was known
that IL could not be her boat Then
In casting around for solution of the
mystery and inspection of the boat
brought to town was held and as soon
as Captain Nelson of the Malolo saw
the boat he seid IL was one of the two
belonging TO his vessel That were left
at Hanalei the last time he was there.
as at the time he left il was too rough
TO take the boat aboard and he had Il,
leave quickly. The boat had presum-
ably gone sdrift and was carried by
the current from Hanalei to the place
where II was picked up. The identif-
cation of the boat solved the mystery
and made the minds OF several schoon-
er owners here rest easy. Ii
