will keep in close touch SO that they
can get hold them at any moment
The clothes of these men are to be
taken to the Quarantine wharf on Mon
day morning where they will be fumi-
gated. The men themselves will be ex-
amined and will comply with every
regulation which the United States
quarantine may require. They Will then
be furnished with certificates which will
permit them to ship on any vessel
which may require them. This plan will
be important, especially where steam
ers are concerned which can not afford
to waste any time lying In port waiting
/ for sailors or firemen.
Roanoke for Lumber Trade.
Captain Amesbury has a plan in his
mind which he intends to propose to the
owners of the vessel when he reaches
the United States. There are many sea-
faring mn who have remarked upon
the extreme fitness which the Roanoke
shows for the lumber carrying trade.
and Captain Amesbury himself thinks it
would be a very good and profitable
proposition to put the vessel in that
line. The Roanoke could easily carry
over two million feet of lumber. II
Captain Amesbury's plan is adopted
the vessel Will take lumber from the
Pacific coast to Australia and take
cargo of coal on her return trip. The
Roanoke can carry about $500 tons of
coal. 81
Although the discharging of the
Roanoke is going on at slow rate
at present II is likely that it will soon
finish. The coal which was taken out
of the vessel yesterday was quite cool
and 1t seems probable that there Is
nothing the matter with the rest of the
cargo. Another thorough examination
Of the condition of the cargo and the
hold will be made and in case the re-
suits are satisfactory the Roanoke will
keep 1000 tons OF coal in her as ballast
and proceed to San Francisco where
she viii undergo repairs.
Accident on the Waterfront.
An accident which might easily have
had very serious results happened on the
waterfront yesterday forenoon at about
Il O'Clock. near the Queen street wharves.
The inju, ed man, a Japanese named Hi
rano, was the helper on one of Hustace's
drays. The dray had load of boxes on
ii, and was driven by a native named
Kaiihialokai, while H.rano was sitting on
top of the load. 1t appears that Hira-
nos attention was attracted by a gang
of Japanese emigrants who were on their
way to the steamer from the Quarantine
Island, and he was so engaged in looking
at them that he did not pay attention to
| the keeping of his balance. The dray
suddenly jolted and Hirano tumbled on
his seat and fell right between one of the
boxes and a wheel, his face and left hand
being against the wheel, and as Kalihi-
alokai, who had not noticed the preca-
r.ous position of his helper, kept driving
on, Hiranos face and hand got pretty
! badly bruised.
When he was finally rescued the face
and hand of the Japanese presented an
awful sight. as the blood was running
from many wounds. The Jap was taken
to the Queens hospital by the ambu-
lance, and il was found that no serious
injury had resulted. Kal hialokai, the
driver was arrested and booked for in
vestigati ton.
