STAR OF BENGAL.
Comes from Newcastle with a Cargo of
Heated Coal.

The Star of Bengal which arrived
yesterday morning from Newcastle,
Australia with a cargo of coal had an
unpleasant experience for several days
a month after she left port.
Thirty days after she was on her way
the sailors reported that the decks
were getting very hot in the vicinity
of the main hatch and between decks
the heat was insufferable The captain
realized that such a condition could be
produced by but one cause and this was
either actual fire or else the coal in
the act of heating. The temperature
got up to lis degrees and it was impos-
sible to remain in the vicinity of the
main hatch between decks. ~
Captain Henderson had the matches
opened and the crew dig down into the
coal until the seat of the supposed fire
was reached. About 100 tons were
taken piled removed and placed close
to the aft hatchway. In order to allay
the heat about rs tons more had to be
thrown overheard. In loading the YES
sci the matches had to be kept open
and the rain getting in saturated the
coal with the result that when the
haches were shut down the tempera-
ture began to rise. After three days
of hard work the temperature was re-
duced to 80 degrees and the danger OF
the coal taking fire reduced. The
matches had to be kept open for the
balance of the trip however in order
to keep the temperature of the coal
down as much as possible.
Second Mate Eichel was knocked
down by the fore brace and severely
shaken up. He was rendered uncon-
scious. He will go to the hospital.

THE BRITISH sEALERs.

Captain Macauley who went to Kau-
al to look after the British sealers had
quite a pleasant experience boarding
sealing vessels and telling the master
that only they were to blame for vio-
lating United States navigation laws.
Macauley boarded the schooner Dora
Siewerd last Thursday before she had
came into the jurisdiction of the local
port. He explained to her master Cap
tain O'Leary, that it would be neces-
sary for him to come to Honolulu if
he went to Waimea, so the captain de-
cided not to stop at the Kauai ports.
He was short of water but said he
would prefer putting his men on short
allowance to being bothered. The
schooner was allowed to leave. The
schooner Borealis was released yester-
day by Captain Macauley as her mas
ter, Captain Munro, returned to Wal
mea with his clearance papers which
Collector of the Port Stackable had is
sued to him.
