for Honolulu and work was commenced
on putting it ashore as soon as the var
Iious Government depa 1tments got
through with the vessel.
Steamers Weatherbound.
| There are two steamers weatherbound
| at Waipio Gulch and extremely rough
weather is being experienced on the
coast of Hawaii. Island steamers
which arrived here from the other Is
lands yesterday have exciting stories to
tell of the pranks of the winds and the
waves. The little steamer Iwalani of
the Inter-Island Company, which ar
rived at this port on her last trip from
Maalaea Bay with leak, is again go
ing through the same experiences
which she then endured and is having
a pretty hard time of it generally.
The steamer Ke Au Hou of the same
company is weatherbound at Waipio
Gulch, after having landed all the Por-
| to Ricans which she took away from
this port. During the trip from Homo
| lulu to the Big Island the immigrants
! had an experience through which they
have never been before and whi"h thev
! will probably never forget. The sea
was whipped to fury by the winds and
! the winds were at their worst when
the steamer arrived at the destination
| of the laborers.
| Great waves broke over the vessel,
drenching the Porto Ricans to the skin,
| frightening them more than hurting
them. That was their first bath it is
said, since they left their native land.
The immigrants had experienced no
very pleasant passage on the City Of
Picking as far as the weather was con-
cerned, but they met with far worse
times on board the little steamer which
toxic them to Hawaii. The Ke Au Hou
made three unsuccessful attempts to
round the southern point of Hawaii.
She had to get to Kau to land some of
the immigrants. Her captain could
have forced the vessel if he had so de-
sired but he realized thatsit was better
not to run any risks and so waited for
better weather. The probabilities are
/
around the point without the risk of
being washed off by the terrible seas
which threatened the vessel.
When the time came to land the i'm
migrants by means of the small boats
there was little less than a panic. Some
of them had almost to be forced into
the boats, so terrified were they at the
lroughness of the sea. This was not the
only trouble in landing the laborers
however. When one batch had to be
Handed at one place and another con-
lsignment at another locality there were
very naturally great many tears that
had to be shed by the separated inn
migrants and some time was spent In
Engineering matters to a successful nm
ish. There was no further trouble on
the Ke Au Hou with the Porto Ricans
! after she sailed from Honolulu except
las far as the weather was concerned.
The Ke Au Hou, according to latest
reports, was weatherbound at Walplo
with the Iwalani. Both steamers were
at anchor and waiting for the elements
to cease their boisterous play.
Yesterday morning the Mauna Loa
arrived here. She reports very rough
weather off the Hamakua coast and
along hdu.
; The Mauna Loa was obliged to bring
back some freight which she had taken
for Kau from Honolulu, not being able
to land 1t at Maalaea Bay on account
of the fierceness of the storm.
'"The Irish Admiral" Captain Greg
Dry, and Purser Chaplain, will have a
, story to tell about the experiences OF
!, the Iwalani no doubt. when that YES
: sci returns to this port
Sailed for the Coast.
| The barkentine S. G. Wilder and the
| barkentine Jane L. Stanford sailed
D hence for the Coast yesterday.
The Wilder managed to get away
without her first mate. Benson had
been bound over by Judge Wilcox OF
the District Court, for a trial in the
: Circuit Court on the charge of assault
, ling officer Needham with an empty
;. bottle.
o Captain Jackson was very anxious
e that his first officer should go with the
: vessel and everything was done to gel
q him out of the hands of the law, but
T without avail Needham's injury is Sc
r yare and the charge against Benson
: will BE pressed with due care and en-
: Eergy.
s The S. G.. Wilder takes sugar to Sar

a for the Sound in ballast.
