THE PILOTS DISAGREED
LAST MOMENTS OF SCHOONER
NORMA.
Remarkable Career of Her Master
-Four Other Schooner Wrecks, One in
the Same Place as Norma's.

The Chinese pilot said port" the ma
tive yelled ''starboard" the man at the
helm chose steady as a mean be-
tween the two orders, and the Norma
stopped altogether, with a hole in her
bottom. This is the story in brief of
the loss of the hoodoo schooner
Captain Weisbarth was trying to en-
ter Kaalaea at night time, which is
something few navigators would dare
to attempt. He had two guides, one
a Chinese and the other a native, and
both of them men who had sailed these
waters for many years. 1t was about
midnight when the schooner went in the
lagoon, trying to pick her way to Kaa-
laea.
Suddenly there was a bump. The
two pilots yelled their contradictory
orders. Then there was harder bump
ing and the schooner was soon fast.
She lies now on the reef at Koolau
point, just behind Mokolii rock. The
j. A. Cummins made one effort to
move her, but found her full of water
There's twenty tons of rock in her."
said Captain Searle, land if pulled her
off she would sink like a brick"
The Norma lies on almost on her
beam ends. 1t is beginning to be
thought that her long and interesting
career as a hodoo is at an end.
The career of Captain Weisbarth in
Hawaiian waters is not at all eclipsed
by that of his unfortunate schooner
The Norma will be the third vessel
whose remains Captain Weisbarth has
left on Hawaiian reefs.
About eight or nine years ago Captain
Weisbarth piled another schooner on
the very point where he left the Norma
this time, only choosing the other side
of the channel" 1t was the schooner
Waimalu The captain tried to take
her in the lagoon at night just as he
did the Norma. She only lost her keel
and was repaired at an expense of
about 5000.
The Waimalu lasted a bit longer and
then she left her bones on the coast of
Hawaii, Captain Weisbarth returning
to Honolulu and buying another YES
sci.
The schooner Kaiulani was the next
vessel secured by Captain Weisbarth.
She knew prosperity for a time, and
then her master and owner left her on
the reef at Kaanapali. In both cases
it was the same combination as in the
case of the Norma, Weisbarth, master,
and big Big Charlie" pilot.
The captain did some work with ISL
and steamers for a time, giving one
company quite a scare by keeping a
big steamer out of the way for day
or two, so that relief expeditions were
talked Of Then, with big Charlie"
again, he entered the famous Norma.
The Norma made a trip to Gilbert
Islands and back, with her pump work.
ing all the trip, and then she went into
the island business. She has been run
ming to and fro, with a number of ex-
citing variations, going ashore twice,
at the mouth of the channel and losing
her cargo on a trip to Kauai, but she
has always got out of trouble till this
time.
The Norma is to be sold at auction
next Saturday noon, by Morgan. She
was sold in the same way at the boat
landing, eight months ago.

WILL RECORD. EARTHQUAKES.
Seismograph to be Installed Within a
Month.

The seimograph, which was sent here
over a year ago by Professor Milne of
the Isle of Wight to be installed on this
island will probably be placed in ope-
ration within the course of the next
month. Professor Milne is the fore
most authority on earthquakes and he
sent the apparatus here for the purpose
of recording the earthquakes, the ma
chine being of the most delicate mech
anism and self recording.
AT present the instrument is now at
oahu College and when placed in ope-
ration will be in charge of Professor L.
Miller of that institution. The seismo-
graph will be located in Punahou near
the college.

THE JAP GUESSED WRONG.
Went to Rescue the Wrong End of a
Mule.

Mule.
A train on the Oahu Railway ran
into three mules belonging to the Apo
kaa plantation yesterday. One of the
mules was killed outright. Another
one was thrown into a swampy place,
and the Japanese in charge of the
mules, rushed to his rescue intending to
hold the animals head out of the water
until he could be gotten to his feet. But
in the excitement of the moment and
in the waist deep swamp, the Jap mis-
judged as to which end of the founder
ing mass the head was on, and himself
got kicked head over heels into the
swamp. The engineer and fireman of
the locomotive had to jump from the
cab TO save the Jap.
The only damage done the locomotive
by the accident was the bending, slight
ly, of her number plate.
