Every blow threatened to tear the old
bark to pieces, but she managed to
crawl along, and the captain still had
hopes of taking her home. At last
blow struck the Topgallant which car

and 1t was then that the skipper came
to the conclusion that the best thing
he could do was to put into Honolulu.
If the bark had not put in here, the
probabilities are that she would never
have been heard of again, and that
her bones would now be resting at the
bottom of the ocean.
1t will be remembered that there
was a murder In connection with the
Topgallant in Manila, after she had
arrived there from Hongkong. The
cook killed his wife, who had been the
stewardess on the bark. on the day
following the vessels arrival at Ma

Put Ashore at Diamond Head
There is a man of this Island who
took a trip from Honolulu to Diamond
Head yesterday afternoon on an ocean
steamship. The big vessel stopped to
put him ashore, and the pleasant jour
ney did not cost him red cent, al
though he got slightly wet in making
the landing.
Shortly after the Oceanic steamship
Zeaiandia sailed from this port yes
terday afternoon for San Francisco a
, message was sent into town from the
| lookout at Diamond Head to the effect
! that the steamship had stopped about
mile on the other side of the Head
and had landed a white man.
One of the vessels boats was low
cred for the purpose and manned by
four of the crew of the steamship The
supposed stowaway was placed In the

On account of the breakers it was i'm
possible to beach the boat, and the
stowaway was obliged to get out and
wade ashore after the boat had gone
as near to the beach as it dared After
the man had been landed the boat re-
turned to the steamship, and the Zea-
landia resumed her voyage to the
/ Coast.
