HAWAIIAN MARITIME HISTORY.
Brief Sketch Of Noted Vessels and Commanders
In Development Of the Coasting Service
Of the Hawaiian Islands.
(Conclusion.)

bine though we find her occasionally in
service to windward. Captain Hebron
sold or exchanged the Moi Wahine with
L. Haalelea, for the Grove Ranch prop
erty, on Maui, of some $500 acres. r.
B. Armstrong and L. Severance were
subsequent owners, and they in turn
were succeeded by John Meek, s. c. Al
len and o. Harris & J. Dawson. She was
finally lost at sea in 1865, en- route for
Wakes Island. Shortly after the Ka
Moi's arrival, in 1854, Captain Hebron
took about 40 shipwrecked passengers to
San Francisco, making the passage in ID
days. Returning here she was continued
in the coasting trade on the route as
already stated until her loss at Kauna-
kakai, Molokai, under charge of Captain
West in 1878, and in the wrecking of her
few months later, the Moi Keiki shar-
ed the same fate. OF Captain Hobron's
other marine ventures we will treat later.
THE WARWICKS AND THEIR FATE.
In July, 1850, we find the schooner War
wick of 1872 tons registered to N. T.
Sayre & S. G. Harvard. This little ves-
sci was imported in the ship Eliza War
wick the month previous. Captain Hob
ron bought her in 1851 and employed her
in the Maui and Molokai trade She was
sold in 1856 to j. F. Colburn then to J.
H. Cole, E. Jones, Minister of Interior
and J. /. Dowsett successfully till 1867,
when on September 7th, she went ashore,
on S. w. point of Kauai. Another
schooner took her name and Molokai
route Immediately, for in 1868 the follow
ing account of a trip of the Warwick is
given: Left Honolulu for Molokai with
Rev. A. o. Forbes as the only foreign
passenger on board; neared the bluff of
Kapaliokaholo the same day; here the
&Ia .;rrt,4 l,
vessel drifted out of sight of land. Drift
ed thus for three days, food and water
getting low, when we fell in with the
bark Mauna Loa, with lumber for this
port who aided US and directed US on
our course An almost similar expe-
rience befell the same vessel the follow
ing year, leaving this port February 9Th,
and returning from sea" on the 18th.
A namesake was built by Messrs. D. &
| T. r. Foster shortly after this for Cap
tain Jacob Brown of the Pele, who con-
tinued her as the regular Molokai packet
! till, leaving Honolulu in January, 1882,
for her regular port of Kalaupapa, she
was never afterward heard from.
THE NAHIENAENA'S
In February of 1851 was registered the
schooner Nahienaena, of 421a tons, to
VIM Ellis This vessel was built at
! TIltWdltT, oil l|lcllldu I<ciHo III 1ofos
and arrived here under the name of Vic
toria. Her coasting experience was brief,
! for she was lost at Kauai the same
year. Shortly afterward October, 1851,
! the American schooner Dart of las tons,
is registered as the Harriet Nahienaena.
to Kamehameha III. Under command
of Captain A. P. Brickwood she was
fitted as royal yacht of topsail schoon-
i er rig, and mounted several guns She
1nl and
senting a commendable appearance. She
4 was sent to Sydney via Tahiti for sale,
| October 2, 1852, in charge of M. M. Web
ster, who returned her charter May IL,
1858. Webster on his return opened and
for several years conducted the CONNER
ciaI Livery Stables. In 1864 the name of
/ Nahienaena again appears, when Kane
hameha V. bought the Oldenburg brigan-
tine Hans, of 1877 tons, and registered her
under the Hawaiian flag. She was term
ed the Kings yacht, and is not remem-
bered for handsomeness of model, or
elegance of fittings; still, she served as
a royal plaything under the command Of
| Admiral Abe Russell for a short time.
F. S. Pratt, and the late T. R. Foster
We're successive owners, her name being
changed to the Blossom. She was sub
sequently broken up in this port.
THE sKINOOLE AND HER OWNERS.
November %, 1850. there arrived from
San Francisco the Auckland, N D., built
topsail schooner Post Boy, of A tons
Before the close of the month she was
sold to native known as Philip Nation
who registered and ran her for a time
under her foreign name. In the follow
ing year b. Pitman becomes the owner
and changes the name to Kinoole. She
piled as a windward packet on various
routes, with occasional trips to Kauai,
and for her years in service could boast
of more owners than generally falls to
the average craft; for besides the two
above mentioned, there was r. Robin
son & J. A. Simmons in 1852, Jas. Daw-
son and Paniani in 1853, d. Fredison and
T. E. Cook & P. H. Treadway in 1856
A. K. Clark e. o. H. Gulick in 1858, and
later to E. w. Clark & S. l.. Austin.
She was finally wrecked on Niihau
August "a, 1860.
THE PAUAHIS AND ILL-FATED
KAMAMALU.
May 6. 1850, the British schooner Wan
derer, of ~ tons, arrived here from Ia
Ehiti and was purchased by M. Kekua-
naoa who registered her under the name
of Pauahi. This also was New Zea-
land built vessel. March 81, 1851, hel
name is changed to the w. P. Leleio-
hoku, but on the 4th of October of the
between Oahu and Kauai. January, 1851.
Kekuanaoa registers another Pauahi
formerly the British schooner Chas. Will
son of 63 tons, built at Whampoa, China
In the summer of 1854 she was hauled
up by Messrs. Emmes & Johnson, ship
wrights, and repaired and enlarged to
IA tons. On launching she was named by
John Ii the Kamamalu, and under his
agency served as a regular windward
packet till her loss in 1857. She left this
port under native command for Hflo,
March 49, touching at Lahaina, having
a full cargo and some 20 souls on board
She arrived at Lahaina all right and
discharged some, and took in other
freight and passengers and proceeded or
her course, but after passing out into
the Hawaii channel she was never more
seen, nor any fragment of her wreck
She is supposed to have capsized in a
squall and sunk probably with all hanos
below.
THE LIHOLIHO.
Early In the "fifties' the schooner
Iiholiho was the crack Hilo packet
touching regularly at Lahaina en- route
as in fact did all the windward packets
