ALGERNON SHAW LEFT HONOLULU AND
WAS LAST HEARD FROM in SYDNEY

swered. except that which was ad-
| dressed to Mrs. Shaw. and that brought
a response which indicates the graft
tude of the mother and that the in
quiries will be prosecuted.
''Dick" Creder. a baker at Singers
bakery. formerly employed on the
steamship Australia, states that Shaw
was with him in the stewards depart
ment. and left the vessel at Honolulu.
Both were in the city together on sew
eral occasions. Creder introduced Shaw
TO people whom he knew. among them
being some Hawaiians. Shaw became
well acquainted with Solomon Colburn.
who lived on Liliha street. There was
also a Tahitian family in Kalihi, near
the leper receiving station. with whom
Shaw was also quite intimate. He
liked the Hawaiians and the Tahitians
and did some sketching among them.
There were young women in both fami-
lies and he used them his models.
The last time Creder saw Shaw was
just about the time OF the newspaper
mems outing at Waialua. When he re-
turned again to Honolulu he heard that
Shaw had disappeared but had been
last heard from in waimanalo. He
go to Australia or TO any South Sea
Islands.
The general opinion when Shaw dis
appeared from Honolulu was that he
sailed In the transport Ohio. which was
in port on August 4. and on which YES
sci he was seen during that day.
Strangely there was never a question
as 10 other ships which were in port
that day. so IL was that no one at
tempted to trace Shaw. who left in the
Aorangi. which arrived from Victoria
and sailed again for sydney that same
day. His failure TO write after that
first letter has caused some fear that
he did not survive his visit To the
South Seas. The Inquiries now on foot
are expected TO have fruit very soon.
AlEernon Shaw was a young fellow OF
some 20 years. short of stature. blond.
with clear cut features and intelligent
face that showed but little OF the
French strain in his blood. He spoke
the language OF his mothers country
fluently and spent his youth in France.
His American was. however. uneXcep-|
tionai and there was nothing To char
ncterize him 10 the casual observer or
companion as anything but an AmerI-
can unless he chose to divulge it.
He was an artist OF considerable abil-
ity. devoting himself principally to-
black and white. He studied In French
art schools with considerable success.
Some OF his earlier work consisted in
pen and Ink reproductions OF the forms
OF some ola ceramics discovered in
earth mounds IN Brittany. Later In
Paris he acted as private secretary for
Sarah Beruhardt. the traCedienne. af-
forwards writing illustrated articles on
The actress life and habits for various
American publications. In New York
he practlced his ATT and was employed
On the y - York Tribune. He designed
some effective posters ana illustrated

tTalia he was In the same condition
That welcome news for the mother
was contained In a letter written from
this city by Sydney c. Boyd. who was
formerly butcher In the steamer Aus
traiia. and who since his retirement
from that service has been keeping an
eating house here. II was as assistant
20 Boyd that young Shaw came TO Ho-
noiulu. While the young man lived
here he was In many ways associated
with Boyd mt first. but later they saw
little OF each other. Then SHAW was
working for the Austin Weekly. and IL
was while In that position that he dis
appeared. Some days before young
Shaw was seen among his friends and
associates here for the last time. he
went 90 Boyd and told him OF an in
tention 20 continue on his Journeys to

- oman and the lad was educated In
France. so that when he was wandering
he turned his thoughts to the colonies
OF France In the south. thinking he
would prosper there. as he spoke the
language eXcellentiy.
After telling Boyd OF his intention
90 go south. the conversation turned
upon the cities through which he was
10 pass. Boyd tells OF Il In this way:
Il told Shaw that my people live In
Sydney and offered him n letter 10 my

took and later when he had reached
Sydney he wrote TO me under date OF
November. telling me OF my family and
giving such details that he must have
been there TO see the people for other

There We're two vacancies at the time
and Shaw was positively identified as
being seen on the wharf thirty minutes
before the Ohio sailed for Manila. Since
then all traces have been lost. Shaw
was Of a Bohemian nature with the
