THE PUNALUU HARBOR is VERY
DANGEROUS.
No Less Than Eight Sailing Vessels
Have Been Wrecked at That Place.
Strong Current, the Cause.

Punaluu has come to be regarded
as the most dangerous landing place
in these islands. 1t has the record of
being the grave yard for more vessels
than any other landing in the group
The bones of nearly a dozen of the lit
tie island sailing fleet have been brok-
en- there during the last twenty-five
years. The recent loss of the schooner
Mile Morris recalls the danger of max
ing an entrance at that place.
There are practically two reefs at the
entrance, and so situated are they, that
a strong current is created, sweeping
into the landing place at the rate of
three to four miles an hour Behind
the second reef is a third rock reef
which extends out well toward the
channel The channel is about 150
yards wide and in going into or out
of the anchorage the vessels generally
make three to four tacks
1t is especially dangerous trying to
go out of the harbor for there has to
be sufficient wind to overcome the swift
current which sets in constantly, as the
result Of the peculiar formation of the
outside reef. Unless a vessel has
good wind, she is apt not to come about
readily, and be swept over onto the
inner point, behind the second reef.
There is about four to FIVE feet In the
this dangerous reef of rock. The result
is that every time a boat is thrown
onto that reef, it is generally with such
force that from the current, that the
bottom of the craft is stove in and she
soon begins to go to pieces.
Among the vessels there have been
the schooners Maunakawai, Marion,
Juan Apion, Saki, Lady and Mile Nor
ris, and sloops Yankee, and Wailala.
Out of this lot only one has ever been
rescued. The Lady was piled on the
reef once, and was sold for $50 some
enterprising man got her off, patched
her up all right, and she has since
been in the island trade. She has been
put back on the Punaluu run and Will
make a trip to that place this after
noon, taking the cargo which was to
have been carried there by the Ma
lolo. Captain Nelson of the Lady has
been sailing about this island for years
and is thoroughly acquainted with the
Punaluu harbor so he will take his YES
sci in there this trip

A LEPER LEAPS INTO THE
SEA.
Throws Himself From a Gin, After
Nearly Fourteen Years Suffering at
the Leper Settlement.

After over 1S years residence at Ka-
laupapa among the lepers Kaleomai-
kai last week disappeared, and he is
supposed to have thrown himself from
a cliff into the sea. Leprosy had made
him prematurely feeble and he had not
long to live, though he was under 30
years of age. The best years of his
life had been spent at the settlement,
for he went there when he was IA years
Of age.
All that is known of Kaleomaikai's s
fate is that man resembling him was
seen on the cliff, and later a body was
seen floating in the sea below. This
Information is contained in a letter Of
November H. received by Superintend-
ent Reynolds from the settlement, in
which is the following regarding the
supposed suicide:
Late this afternoon, Mr.. Dutton re-
ported that one inmate of the Home
is missing since 4 o'clock this morn
ing. One man reported seeing a figure
of a man standing at the edge of a
cliff overlooking the sea early this
morning. Another later on saw a body
floating in the sea. He hurried back
for help and on returning the body was
nowhere to be seem
His description of the floating body
compares favorably with that of the
missing man, whose name is Kaleomai-
kai, a feeble and far-advanced case.
Up to this writing the body has not
been recovered"
Kaleomaikai was taken to the settle
ment on April 3, 1888, when he was
lad of IA. He was a resident of Ka-
kaakai, Honolulu. At the leper settle
ment he was alone and during his 1872
years life there the disease made
steady progress in his system, so that
at "a he was old and feeble. 1t is sup
posed that dependency over his con-
dition caused him to leap into the ocean
from, tba cliffs a around the settlement,

FUGITANA INsoLvENT.
Japanese Merchant at Honokaa Makes
Voluntary Assignment.

H1LO. November 15.-T. Fugitanav
probably the best known japanese mer-
chant on the Island. located at Honokaa
made a voluntary assignment last We'd
nesday for the benefit of his creditors
without preference. The assignment
was made to NJ. V. Holmes, the leading
merchant at Honokaa. No definite
statement of the business affairs of Mr..
Fugitana has been made at this time
but II Is estimated that his liabilities
amount to about twice as much as his
assets. The cause of the failure Is at
tributed to the drought which oppressed
all kinds Of business i'm Hamakua the
past six months. In Mr. Fugitana's
case the drouth bore down with especial
weight. He had a contract TO build
road and when the dry weather came
he was forced to haul wator for miles
for his stock and men thot were work.
ing on the job. The result was that he
came out loser. The insolVent stands
high among business men for ability
and integrity and his misfortune is
heard of with regret.

HAwAITs ROUGH TRIP.

The steamer Hawaii had a very rough
trip last week going to Hamakua ports.
She had to buck heavy weather, all
the way to Mahukona. When that port
was reached, six inches of water was in
the hold. Captain Bennett pumped this
water out, and as the boat made no
more water in smooth anchorage, 1t is
not thought she opened any seams. She
is weather bound at Mahukona. Re-
ports by the Kinau and Claudine state
that the rough weather along Hawaii,
Maui and Molokai shows no signs of
abating.

WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
1oo,ooo steel Workers no strlke.

The threatened order of President Shat
Ter OF the Amalgamated Association of Iron
ana steel workers, calling out all union
men IN the employ Of all the constituent
companies OF the great Steel Trust, came
tuesday, to take effect next Saturday night,
unless the differences are settled before.
The order involves, in addition to the en-
ployes OF the Hoop, Sheet Steel and Tin
Plate companies, who have been out now
about three weeks, the workers of the Fed
eral Steel, National Steel and National
Tube companies, being all the parts of the
Trust, practically, except the Carnegie
works, which have been non-union since
the Homestead troubles. 1t will, if obeyed
TO the extent that the union leaders expect,
bring out in all about $1,000 men, in addi-
ton to the 10000 already out. A long and
bitter struggle is at hand. Both sides are
determined. The refusal of the executive
board OF the unions TO ratify the first
agreement made between the Trust and
Association officials was followed by fur
ther conferences, at which the latter tried
TO secure concessions, but without avail.
The real bone of contention Is the mills Ia
which the men have organized since the
strike began. The Trust wants them made
open, as they were before and the Associ-
alton wants them classed a. union mills
II bids fair TO be the greatest contest be-
tween capital and organized labor that the
world has ever seen, involving immense
losses to the country.
