Obliged TO proceed TO sea at once.
In less than half an hour a heavy
sea arose and the anchorage at Apia
was unsafe for any vessel. The German

IL II understood that only about
twenty-five people besides the sherins
will receive tickets. The hour mas not
been set for the hanging yet. and there
is no doubt but that it will take place
after 3 o'clock in the forenoon.
Workmen will start about Wednes-
day or Thursday OF this week to shape
the timbers for the gallows, and il is
probable their labors will be completed
ON Saturday next. After a thorough
inspection OF the grounds within the
