HIGH WINDS AT
PEARL HARBOR
The Work Of Dredging at the
Bar Delayed Greater
Capacity.

High winds of the last few days have
delayed the work of dredging at Pearl
Harbor bar. The ground swell became
so heavy on Friday last that work had
to be suspended until yesterday at
noon, when it was resumed.
A night shift has now been put to
work on the dredger so that with good
weather the machine may be run for
the consecutive twenty-four hours. 1t
is expected that the output will be
made 1000 yards during that period.
Mr.. Haas, of the contractors, who is
experimenting the work, said yester-
day that the dredger had been timed to
put out $50 cubic yards in $50 minutes,
delivered in 119 loads. showing an aver
age of one and one quarter cubic yards
TO the bucket load. Mr.. Haas hopes
to increase this by the addition of teeth
to the buckets, the teeth now being on
the way from the makers.
A second and larger bucket is being
built as it has been found that the
dredger has a reserve of power which
warrants the increase of the load. It
is thought an average of 1900 yards
will be reached when the weather per-
mits continuous work.
1t has been found that a three or
four feet swell does not interfere with
operations, and it is believed that the
customary trade winds will not make
more than this swell.

ROMANCE OF THE
ANNIE JOHNSON

There has probably arrived at Hilo
by this time a sailing vessel which has
as wonderful a record as any ship that
sails the seven seas. She is the Amer
lean bark Annie Johnson, Captain Will
liams, now 20 days out from San
Francisco.
The history of the Annie Johnson
reads like a chapter of fiction. She
originally belonged to Liverpool, Eng
land. and was known as the Ada Ire
land.
In the fall of 1876, about two hundred
miles from the Marquesas Islands, she
was abandoned in flames, owing to the
spontaneous combustion of her cargo
of coal.
After % days of horrible suffering the
crew of the Annie Johnson reached the
Marquesas Islands in open boats, with
the loss of only one man.
Now comes the most remarkab BILE
part of the story. The burning derelict
drifted westward to Tahiti, a distance
of nearly $500 miles, and was picked up
and towed into port by a French man
of-War in the summer of 1877, about
eight months after her abandonment.
Her coal cargo continued to burn UNI
til May 1878, when she was repaired.
