UGLY JAPS.

Some of the Chinese and Japanese
taken from the mauka end of the quar-
antined district showed a good deal Of

The hottest work at the end of the
great conhagration was on the water
front, where several bucket brigades
made heroic efforts to stop the advance
of the flames in front of the Honolulu
Iron Works and Hitch's sail loft, The
fire swept to the front with terrible rap
idity and a strong wind made the
flames threaten everything to the wa
ter's edge. At Hitch's sail loft and at
the Honolulu Iron Works bucket bri-
gades worked for over an hour amid
the heat and smoke. Several times the
men were driven away by the hot air
and the cinders, but they returned
again every time and did a great deal
to impede the progress of the fire. There
were many prominent citizens in the
line that handed buckets Of salt wa

in the path of the flames.
