the Kinau sailed through the channel
about o'clock last evening for Hilo
and way ports with big deckload Of
Japanese laborers from MauliOla quar-
antine station for plantations on Ha-
wall No other passengers were on
board and a rather small freight was
taken, owing to the existing health
conditions restricting shipments. Port
superintendent Clarke of the Wilder
company has been a most busy man
for the past fortnight and worked
hard until late last night. Before
leaving the wharf he had made all ar
rangements for the launch to take
longshoremen out in the stream at
4 o'clock this morning to load the
Claudine and Lehua for Maui and Mo-
Iokai ports. The Golden Gate is also
on the berth for windward ports. The
Mokolii, for Molokai ports. was the
only steamer beside the Kinau sail
ing yesterday. The schooners Concord
and Golden Gate also got away yes
terday afternoon with lumber cargOes.
The Athenian locked at the Mail
wharf early in the morning and will
remain some ten days before return
ing TO Manila with horses.
A wahine's Pilikia.
Filled with Kakaako swipes and
wild desire for a bath, one of the
nymphs frequenting the neighborhood
of the lower end of Punchbowl street
ran into the bay at midnight last night
from a point near the marine railway.
She swan out towards the lighthouse
until totally exhausted, when the cold
and a few draughts of salt water So
bering her, she yelled for help. In
her struggles she had torn off her no.
loku, and when rescued by the health
officer on watch was quite unpresent-
able to even health inspector. She
was taken to the wharf and made for
home by the shortest way.
Sad Plight of Vessels Grew.
The Melbourne exchanges contain
accounts of what may happen to the
sick crew of a vessel even in the impOr-
tant port of Melbourne. IL appears
that the Aratapu. of New Zealand. a
well-known intercolonial trading yes
seel. bound to Auckland. was seen fy-

ance. and a waterman from Williams
town quickly made his way alongside
the vessel and proffered his services.
He was informed that the majority of
the crew had beeen stricken with sick
ness. and requested to get a doctor as
quickly as possible. He returned to
Williamstown and began a hunt
around the local surgeries. but was
unsuccessful in catching a disengaged
medico. at l O'Clock as the signal
still flew on the schooner. Command
er Tickell despatched the sick boat
OF II. VI. s. Cerberus to make inquiries.
and on receiving the cOxswain's report
at once telephoned for a doctor. Four
o'clock came, but still the sick men
were unattended. and Captain Gilmer
hoisted the incoming flag for port
health officer on duty and Customs.
II was at this hour that the waterman
Wade. who had been for seven hours
hunting around Williamstown for a
medical gentleman. succeeded in
meeting with DR.. \. Honman, health
officer of the town, who at once start

that he found the Aratapu's crew in a
state of utter helplessness. five Of them
being stricken with influenza. while
the cook, who was the only man able
TO move about, was suffering from a
severe attack of dvsenterv. After
temporarily relieving the sufferers he
had conversed with Captain Gilmer
whose remarks regarding a port where
crew could not get a response To an
urgent signal were the reverse of COM

Mayflower of the Pilgrim Fathers
\ comparison made between the sail
ing Of the White Star line steamer
Oceanic for the United States and the
sailing Of the MayfiOwer with the Pill
grim Fathers on board has induced
Sir George BirdwOOd to send an inter-
Csting letter to the London Daily Tel
egraph. in which he saws: 1t is
stated that the said Mayfiower. after
her memorable voyage across the At
lantic, went into the Indian cotton
trade, and was lost in a cyclone near
Masulipatam. This is an error which

Telegraph of October "a. 1889. and. as

its perpetuation is TO be deplored. I
beg that YOU will allow me to once
again put il right in your columns. IN
