Mrs. William Geringer and Mrs. Ben

was a dreadful mix-up among the

Mrs. William Gerringer was sure
that Carrie was set upon by the whole
bevy of defendants, who beat her with
stones, pulled her hair and injured her
so badly that she was unable to stand
and had to be assisted home. Wit

Carrie, herself, was the aggressor, call

striking the first blow.

abandoned about 500 miles northwest
OF Kauai. This Is within a compare
lively short distance OF Laysan Island
and should the search for the Kerr
prove unsuccessful the steamer could
be sent TO Laysan Island for load OF
guano.
Just why the Kerr was abandoned
at sea and no attempt apparently made
10 save her, Is what some OF the peo-
pie on the water front have been try
ing to settle. IL was argued that when
the fire was discovered TO be so bad
the vessel could have been headed TO
Laysan Island and there sunk in a few
fathoms OF water and the fire extin-
gulshed and the vessel would. in con-
sequence. have been saved. Ia all
probability. Captain Gibbons consider
ed all OF the chances OF saving his yes
sci. but from what has already been
learned OF the affair. he and his men
were driven into the boats by the fire
bursting forth and getting beyond their
control.
IL is possible that the Hong Kong
Maru may sight the derelict on her
way from Yokohama 10 this port. All
OF the Oriental vessels pass within a
few hundred miles OF the chain OF is
lands stretching northwest Of the Ha-
waiian Islands. and II the Kerr was
carried To the westward by the winds
which were prevailing at the time her
crew left her. the Hong Kong Maru
may sight the boat
There was some talk OF the tug Fear
less going after the boat. but 1t is
thought that the Fearless would be un-
able TO take enough coal to enable her
TO tow the derelict back TO some port.
even II the Kerr was found without
much search.
Captain Gibbons OF the lost ship is a
self-educated man who was left half
orphan at an early age. He worked
himself UP from the bottom. supporting
his mother In the process as long as
she lived.

that some sort Of an inquiry will be

the testimony OF the various sailors and

Local people on the water front are
considerably exercised over the rich
salvage prize which they see in the
