A..pUT. UP JOB OF, BURGLARY
j. lXpOSEDIBY A CONFESSION

On Saturday night, however, the
burglars refused to burgle; when 1t
came down to business they lost their
nerve, and although Patrolman Robert
son was in readiness with his official
weapons loaded for burglars, he did
not find an opportunity to use them.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth heard
something of this, but could find out
nothing definite, and could take no
action in the matter. The affair, how
ever, did not escape his attention, and
he kept sharp eye on the suspected
parties. Last night Captain Bowers,
accompanied by Loi Bow and Woo
Luck. appeared at the police station,
and Loi Bow told the whole story to
Mr.. Chillingworth.
He said that Robertson had been
trying ever since Saturday night to get
him to betray his friends into at
tempting the burglary, and assured
him that he would be in no danger
explaining that If the Chinese burglars
lived to tell the tale, and told it as it
happened very little attention would
be paid to the story by the officers,
and the Chinese would be shut up in
jail. where they could do Loi Bow no
harm; in case any unpleasantness
came up Loi Bow could hide away
somewhere until the affair blew over
In view of the fact that he was to
receive SIS for his part in the affair.
and of the many opium smokes that
sum would afford him, Loi Bow, who
is addicted to the pipe, had accepted
the bribe, and had made arrangements
TO have the burglary take place at
o'clock this morning.
However, as the time drew nearer,
he became frightened and, when Woo
Luck, Captain Bowers assistant, hav-
ing got an inkling on what was going
on, approached him on the subject, he
confessed the whole plot.
Woo Luck made haste to inform
Captain Bowers, and Captain Bowers
Immediately marched the two Celes-
tials to the police station. where the
whole story was poured into the ear OF
the deputy sheriff.
The scheme was thus upset, and if
Robertson wishes to win laurels as a
patrolman hereafter, he will probably
have to change his residence to do it.
lust what will be done with the par
ties to the conspiracy has not yet been
decided. but the matter will probably
be vigorously pressed.

A neatly planned scheme, which
might have cost one or more lives, and
which was to have eliminated this
morning at l o'clock, was frustrated
by Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth
last night a merchants patrolman,
in his zeal for gaining trade, waxed
ingenious and bribed a Chinaman to
betray two of his Celestial friends in
to attempting burglary upon a store
watched by rival, at an hour when
that rival was absent, so that the
promoter of the scheme might rush to
the spot, shoot, If convenient, and
take into custody the offenders, thus
winning laurels for himself on his
rivals field, and at the same time
casting reflection upon the vigilance OF
that rival and clothing himself IN
halo of glory. Had it not been that
his accomplice developed case OF
frigfd pedal extremities, there would
probably have been tragedy at the
appointed hour.
Captain Bowers and William Rob-
ertson are the two rivals, and TO the
latter may be given the credit OF the
scheme which failed. For long time
the two have been in the pay OF the
merchants, doing duty as night watch
men. and each has his patrol Accord
ingly as they win the confidence OF the
business men their patrol increases,
and proportlonately it is so with their
financial returns. Each OF the patrol
men is assisted by Chinese friend,
one Loi Bow being in the service Of
Robertson, and a bland Celestial
known as Woo Luck assisting Captain
Bowers.
Last week Robertson approached Loi
, Bow and offered him SIS to procure two
Cinnamon to break into a store being
guarded by Captain Bowers at q time
when Bowers would be busy at other
buildings; he explained to the China
man that as soon as the burglars
should break into the store he would
appear and, in the name of the law,
take such action as would be neces-
sary to prevent the lawbreakers from
following out the plan. Loi Bow
sought out two uususpecting friends.
and the event was set for Saturday
night.

After leaving port, nothing remark
able occurred during the first part of
our voyage. Having succeeded in OBJ
tanning a small quantity of oil, we
touched at Fayal, one of the Azores, or
Western islands, to leave the oil and
replenish our stores. We left Fayal on
the following day. Our course was
down the Cape de Verd islands; and,
without any accident worth relating, we
passed round the Cape of Good Hope,
through the straits of Madagascar, and
found ourselves in the Indian ocean.
We continued to cruise among the
small islands for some time, but being

unsuccessful in the object of our yoy-i
age, it was deemed advisable to make
for Java. We ran the whole length Of
the island of Java, passing through the
straits of Sandal-Wood island, to the
island of Timor. and touched at the
port of Coupang, where we remained
about five days, took in wood and wa
ter and replenished our small stores.
After leaving this place We attempted
to pass through the straits of Timor,
with a view of gaining the Pacific
ocean, but owing to adverse winds and
the strong currents setting against US.
we were compelled to abandon the un
dertaking and accordingly altered our
course. We intended to have touched
at Ternate, the principal of the Moluc
cas- or Spice islands, but we passed it,
running down the island of Morty Cor
Mortay) to it's furthermost point. See
ing no port at which we could stop. we
altered our course, intending to make
for some of the Ladrone islands, which
we knew to be in possession of the
Spanish.
I must here observe that soon after
leaving the island of Mortay there came
on a violent storm, which lasted the
whole of three days and nights. Dur
ing all this time we were unable to take
an observation. This led to the melan-
choly disaster which was the COM
mencement of misfortunes and suffer
ings too great TO be adequately con-
ceived of by any but those who expert
enced them. The violence of the storm
compelled us to take in all the sails eX
cept the topsail (Which was close reef
ed), foresail and foretop-mast stay
sail.
We were sailing in this manner not
apprehending danger, when, about IL
o'clock at night on the 21st of May,
1892, just at the time of relieving the
watch, the ship struck with great vio-
lence with what we afterwards found
to be the coral reef extending to the
northward and eastward of the Pelew
islands The ship ran directly upon the
rocks and struck three times in quick
succession, the waves daShing over
and around us with tremendous force.
| AT this awful moment 1 was in my
berth in the steerage. When the ship
struck the third time, so great was the
shock that 1 was thrown from my berth
against the opposite side of the steer
age; but. soon recovering myself, /
rushed upon deck. There all was con-
fusion, horror and dismay. The ship,
Immediately after striking the third
time, swung round so as to bring her
lstarboard side to the windward and
was in a moment thrown upon her
beam ends. While in this awful con-
dition, with the waves continually
breaking over us. threatening to over
iwhelm US in watery grave, or dash
US to pieces against the rocks, the cap
tain came upon deck and inquired OF
the second mate. Where are we?" The
reply was, ''I don't know, but I think
there is land to the leeward." There
was no time for deliberation; 1t seemed
that the immediate destruction .of the
ship was inevitable.
| In the midst of this confusion / heard
the mate give orders for lowering the
llarboard quarter boat. His directions
were Immediately complied with, and

which resounded through that hotel
when the American tourist was remov
ed from that chair. Historians do not
explain the exact manner, in which the
Hawaiian Prince jerked the tourist off
the cushioned seat and dumped him on
the floor after administering few
forcible arguments TO his face. How
ever it happened the noise reached the
manager who had been proud at reg
istering their Royal Highnesses Prince
and Princess Kalanianaole' on his
books, and he rushed to the barber
shop, explained to the half-dead Am
erican that he had had the honor of
being licked by a prince, fact which
made the son OF the great republic
arise and addressing. say to Cupid: Il
didn't know your highness. 1 got all
I deserved. Will you honor me by
joining me at a small cold bottle?"
There is no record as to Cupid refus-
ing the invitation.
In Geneva, in Switzerland (Genf,
they call the place there), the pugiiis-
tic prince got into more serious, but
more amusing row. He was In care

young autocratic 'tBurschen," or stu
