Number Of Boats weatherbound at
Kauai Ports-Rough on Molokai, Maui
Hawaii and Lanai

Very rough weather has been pre-
Vailing about these islands for the last
three or four days. The storm seems
TO be general in every quarter, with the
possible exception OF the south west,
and IL is working gradually around to
that section.
The China struck bad weather last
Wednesday, coming from the orient
and was delayed fully twelve hours In
reaching port. The Fitzpatrick had the
same experience last week, striking bad
weather I'm the northeast coming from
San Francisco. while the worst kind OF
weather is reported by all OF the in
coming island boats. At the present
time. the coast Of Kauai seems to be
getting the worst Of the storm. No less
than fve boats are weatherbound on
that island.
News Of their predicament was
brought yesterday by the steamer w.
G.. Hall Four of these vessels were
weather bound at Hanalei on the north
ern coast OF Kauai. The steamer James
Makee and the schooners Malolo, Ada
and Lady were kept inside the harbor
by the rough weather and were waiting
an opportunity Of getting away. They
We're stu there on Saturday afternoon
when the Hall left Nawiliwill.
The Mikahala was I'm a similar pre-
dicament at Makaweli on the southern
coast and the Waialeale was in Hama
maulu. where she was waiting for the
storm TO subside.
The Hall was in quite a ticklish situa-
ton for a couple of minutes at Nawili-
will on Saturday. A heavy sea parted
her chain and the anchor and six
fathoms of chain We're lost. Captain
Thompson had the boat headed out to-
ward sea, TO avoid being carried inshore.
So rough was the weather that the Hall
was unable to take all the passengers
or freight from Nawiliwili getting off
nothing but the baggage.
On the trip over from Honolulu, the
Waialeale lost a boat last week. a
heavy sea broke over the small boat as
it swung from the davits. and filled the
boat with water. So heavy was the
weight that the fastenings parted and
the boat fell into the water. The sea
was too rough to attempt to recover the
boat so the Waialeale borrowed one
from the Hall after reaching Kauai
Captain Parker of the Claudine, which
arrived from Maui ports yesterday
morning, reports that the weather has
been very rough all along that island
Particularly heavy seas were running
| into Kahului and Hama. The vessel was
! able however to land all of her freight
| and passengers and take off all return
passengers and freight
The Kinau reports bad weather along
the eastern and northwestern coasts OF
Hawaii The rough weather was the
cause for the vessel being delayed a
couple of hours on Saturday.
The Hawaii returned Saturday from
MOlokai, Maui and Lanai. Rough wea-
ther was experienced at all of those ISL
| ands.
1t has been very rough outside Of the
harbOr here, but the worst weather is
1 reported from the windward side of
oahu. 1t was the rough weather which
caused the schooner Mile Morris to be
| driven ashore last week.
The captains think that the wind
which is now east and northeast is
| gradually working around to the nortf
west and will eventually get down tC
| the south and terminate in a kona. NJ
| particular damage has been reported
thus far from the storm.
