PREFERRED A LIFE ON THE
OCEAN WAVE.
Wife of Government Physician Falls i'm
Love with Captain Of Vessel and
Makes Round Trip.

Deciding, as it is supposed, that sine
perferred "a home on the rolling deep
and the love of a sea captain to living
with her legitimate spouse, Mrs. W.
b. Deas, wife of DR.. Deas government
physician for koolau, who came mere
on the barkentine Planter some weeks
ago is now, it is said, under the pro-
lection of Captain Chase of the barkeu-
tine Planter, sugar laden for San Fran
CISCO
Dr. Deas came to these islands not
many months ago, leaving his wife be-
hind him in California while he es-
tablished a practice nd home for
them in Hawaii. He located as a phy-
stefan at Heeia and was the only APP
pliCant for the vacancy LETT by DR. VIM
slow of cloudy fame.
AS things shaped themselves satisfac-
torily, Or. Deas decided to send for his
wife who arranged to come to Homo
lulu on the Planter while her mother-in-
law made preparations to come down on
the SonOma. by which vessel she arrlv-
ed yesterday.
Whether Mrs. Deas Junior had found
that distance and absence had estIang-
ed her love for the DOCTOR or whether
the long hours on board the Planter
dragged YEARLY and called for some
excitement, is not in evidence. 1t SUI

all true seamen do, made himself agree

Gated Mrs. Deas was known to her
friends here, who remembered her IN
California, as a very quiet woman, but
she came off the Planter arrayed in

CARRYING her full complement of eleven
| passengers, Mrs. Deas was on board.
Dr.. Deas is described by his friends
| as broken hearted over his wife deser-

suage his grief. He attempted, so ii Is
said TO drown his sorrows in the flow

! physician administered successful anti
dotes and now DR.. Deas looks upon the
affair in a more philosophical light, es-
teeming himself well rid of the late
partner of his sorrows and diminlsheI
of his joys, from whom he Will apply
for a divorce on the ground of deserIon
as soon as the necessary time has clap
sed.
CAPTAIN Chase was strongly advised
by his water front associates to break
loose from the woman with whom ne
! was entangled and expressed himself tG
! them as eager to do so. As the woman
| had however left her husband for the
| love of him. the skipper probably felt
that it was up to him to do the chlVai-
rio thing and take care of her. Both
! DR.. and Mrs Deas have personal friends
here who knew them in the states and
! who are greatly surprised at the turn
| events have taken.
There seems to be something IN the
air of KooIau that breeds misfortune iol

school inspecting duties is now in Ma

Japan where he went as steerage pas
senger, after skipping MS bail in Homo
