1t is against the law to hunt
geese, ducks, etc, at this time CT

couple of local sports from going
out to the preserves one evening
last week, and look for game. The
two sports moved slowly through
the grass, unmindful of the fact that
they We're being watched by farm
err. A big flock of geese came fv-
ing over, and when they arrived at
the death line the two sportsmen
arose from the grass, ran a short
distance, and then simultaneously
were heard four gun reports. They
were good marksmen, and as "a re-
suit four geese came Topping to the
ground. The sportsmen made
run for their game, but when they
got near it. they spied the farmer
running after them. They each
picked goose, ran to their buggy,

swift run for the town. The
farmer got the other two geese. and
there was no complaint.

NOTES.

The Adversely sails this morning.
The Claudine got away yesterday
with large cargo for Maui.
The Lehua was at Maunalei when the
Mokolii left that place. Captain Ben
nett reported heavy rains all over the
island of Lanai.
The Niihau, arriving from Kilauea
yesterday, brought 500 bags sugar.
She reports rough weather an Kauai.
There are $4,000 bags of sugar left on
the Garden Isle.
News comes from a reliable source
that the intentions of the Great North
ern to run a line of steamers to Ma
Mia via this port have been changed
and the cleaners of that company will
not touch here.
The Chas. E. Moody, coming into the
harbor yesterday morning with fair
wind, was compelled to drop both an
chors off the Myrtle boathouse on ac-
count of the great Roadway she had at
| tanned. She was moored off the Mail
dock. The Moody brings 1857 tons of
Anderson's wife accompanies him.
The schooner Golden Shore partially
burned while being fumigated is load
| ing ballast at Irmgard wharf. Two OF
| her timbers and the sister keel were
badly damaged by the fire. On account
of her condition it is not advisable tc
send sugar in her; on this account she
! is out some $4,000 for freight besides
the repairs which will probably amount
| to $500 or $500 on the Sound.

SEA AND SHORE
The Steamer Coptic In
a Rush.
Manila Stevedores and Freight--A
Kings Ship--MokoIii Arrives
--Harbor Notes.

The Coptic from China and Japan.
came to anchor off the harbor early
yesterday morning day ahead of
schedule time. Her load of APO Jap
anese and Chinese immigrants were
taken to Quarantine Island by the
barge. After discharging her mail and
taking the mail for the Coast she de-
parted at 1 p. m. There were several
passengers for this port who, rather
than take the chances of remaining
here longer than they wished, went on.
The Chas. E. Moody from Tacoma
came into the harbor thirty-four days
from her loading port The Doyo Maru
went outside for fumigation and the
old Kaimiloa startled the whole water
front by her appearance on the marine
railway after nine years of disuse.
Freight at Manila.
Capt. E. R. Butler, who for several
months past has been assistant quar-
termaster in charge of the water trans
portation at Manila, came I'D on the
transport City of Picking, and is now
at the Occidental. He gives some in
teresting facts concerning the hand
ling of freight in Manila bay and the
difficulties that must be met and over
come there in taking ashore at Manila
the immense amount of stores neces-
sary for the keeping of an army of 65,-
600 men in the field. Captain Butler is
going home on sick leave. having con-
tracted throat trouble in the islands.
which the surgeons there were unable
to cope with.
Capt. Butler states that in the first
place Manila bay is so large that it
practically affords no shelter, ex-
cept in the calmest weather.
When the bay becomes rough
| it is equally bad for shipping in
the Pasig river. Steamships are COM
PEELED to anchor from one to three
miles from shore, and everything must
be lightered in from them to the docks
When the bay becomes rough lighter
| ing is impossible, and it is oftener
rough than calm. "Often," says Cap
tain Butler, Il have turned out at 5: sc
o'clock in the morning and started the
gangs to work, and by 9 O'Clock the
boats were lucky to get ashore with
out being swamped. During the last
month l spent in the service there
were but nine days during which
freight could be handled on either bay
or river" 55e
Coolie labor is employed. Under
Spanish rule the stevedores were paiG
about 10 cents a day. Then the Dos.
received all the money for his gang
and it was doubtful if the laborer go
over cents. The United States Gov
eminent has done away with the con
tract system. Now each laborer i:
hired by himself, and the scale O
wages has been advanced from II
cents to 40 cents, gold. This means
considerable, as upward of 1000 mel
are employed in Tightening Government
cargoes. Captain Butler does no
think that the harbor can be mucl
improved. There is an old breakwate
now that it would cost millions of dol
lars to improve, and then, in Captain
Buffers opinion, it would not be mucl
good.-San Francisco Chronicle

a Kings Ship.

The Kaimiloa, at one time the flag
ship of the Hawaiian Navy, is to be
converted into coal lighter. For sew
eral years the old hulk has been lying
off the Railroad wharf exposed to all
sorts of weather and when the Kaena
started to move her yesterday it was
an even bet that she would not bulge.
She was towed to the marine railway
and work will commence on her i'm
mediately to convert her into a lighter
for use in the harbor.
The Kaimiloa was built for use in
the construction of bridge over the
river Tay in Scotland and was orig
inally a twin-screw steamer. She was
afterwards used by the Arundels in the
guano trade and sold by them to the
Hawaiian Government
In the service of the Hawaiian mon
arch Kalakaua she made a visit to the
Samoan and other islands for the pur-
pose of forming a Pacific confedera-
ton under the protection of Hawaii.
but she returned to Honolulu. her mis-
sion unfulfilled and subsequently pass
ed into the hands of the Inter-Island
company. She was used for time as
freight steamer by them and then
laid up as improbable. With the mass
ing of the old man-of-war the mem
ores OF OLD times are refreshed in the
minds OF many of the kamaainas on the
waterfront and the stories of the goings
on OF the past are rehearsed for the
dement, OF the younger generation.

Louis Wheaton Breaks His Arm.

Saturday evening Prof. A. H.
Wheaton returned from Virgil,
whittier he had been called on ac-
count of a severe accident which had
occurred to his son, Louis, who is
running creamery.
While working about the creamery
Louis slipped on the wet floor and fell.
As he was falling he threw out his
left hand to save himself and the
member struck the revolving churn In
such a manner as to break his arm at
the wrist. Not thinking that the
arm was seriously injured he went
about his work all day and at night
suffered so much pain that he went
nine miles to surgeon, who set the
broken arm and Louis returned to his
work. In a few days, just as the
broken part began to knit, he again
injured the arm and blood poison set
In. For some days 1t looked as though
amputation would be necessary, but
the surgeons skill saved the arm and
Louis is at work again.
