MARSTON'S MATE
KILLED AT COAST
Calf Fell and He Was Horribly
Mashed by Ropes and
Winch.

John L. Williams, first mate of the
schooner w. H. Marston and well
known in Honolulu shipping circles,
lost his life in San Francisco on No
vember %.
The schooner was being prepared for
sea. He was guiding the rope at "a
winch in the lowering Of the gait
when the accident occurred. The rope
slipped off the blight to which it was
fastened, the gaff fell, and the rope
wound the unfortunate mate around
the winch, thus mangling his body
terribly. The captain and sailors ran
to the assistance of Williams and the
machinery was shut down as soon as
possible, but not before life was ex-
tinct. Williams was an Australian

SAILORS ARE to- BE
GUIDED BY CONSULS
Norwegian Sailors of Andromeda
Will Make a Roundabout
Trip Home.

The paid off crew of the dismasted
Norwegian bark Andromeda, which
put into Honolulu in distress about two
and one-half months ago and is now to
be sold, will probably have a long voy-
age or series of voyages before again
seeing their homes in the icy land of
the midnight sun. According to the
Norwegian shipping laws any, of these
men who desire must be returned to
the Scandinavian port out of which
they first shipped.
The Norwegian consul in Honolulu
has made arrangements to send the
men to Puget Sound on the Norwegian
bark Excelsior, which recently arrived
here from Australia with a cargo Of
coal. When they reach the Sound the
consuls there will take charge of the
men and will have to arrange to send
them across America by rail to the
Eastern consuls or else ship them
aboard any vessel bound around the
Horn to European ports and thence to
Norway.
But it is quite probable that none of
these men will go home. One of them
has shipped as sailor aboard another
vessel in Honolulu, and if good wages
are prevailing on the Sound when the
men reach there they will say good
bye to consular-conducted trips and
seek the gold that Scandinavians are
usually capable of securing before the
masts of American merchant vessels.
1t has been stated that the sailors
will go to the Sound as passengers
on the Excelsior, but it may be nee
essary to sign the men as members of
the Excelsior's crew as foreign vessels
cannot carry passengers between
American ports.
