S'They must see the white flag on
this cliff" he said to himself They
were not three miles away. Mr..
Carmody stood on the highest point
and waved his handkerchief. Near
er and nearer came the ship. He fired
the rifle again and again. Could they
see him? Would they understand?
He plainly saw the lifeboats and the
chart house of the oncoming~ vessel
Her masts rocked gracefully in the
swell of the ocean. He saw the iibs
futter in the fresh breeze. The
bow swung to starboard; the long
hull of the ship stood for moment
broadside to the shore; the huge
sails Topped in the wind as she
'came about" they fattened as the
ship obeyed the rudder; the masts
careened and steadied; the foam
showed white at her bows, and the
ship stood away to the northeast
on starboard tack. Mr.. Carmody
saw the whee]man without the aid
of a glass, and could see the faces
5of the sailors as the ship stood
broadside the moment before she
again went out to sea.
They are scoundrels to paw no
heed to flag of distress!' he said
aloud as the ship swiftly receded,
and at last became a mere speck in
the northeastern horizon. 1t was a
sad awakening from happy dream.
Alas! how often we sail proudly by
the f1uttering rags of distress! Lifes
marooned are on islands in every me-
tropolis. The battered hulks of hu-
mainly go down in sight and hearing
of prosperous voyagers. Storm
tossed sailors, unable to breast life's
tempestuous seas, perish on society's
coasts, and no lifeboat puts out from
shore. The wrecl1er burns his false
lights along the rocks.
The Indignation of Mr.. Carmody
was shared by his companions, but
they regarded it as hopeful sign
that two ships already had been seen
from the rocks. This proved be-
You'd doubt that these waters were
frequented by traffic, and there was
chance that some generous skipper
might recognize their flag of dis
tress.
Sunday was observed as day of
rest. No work, other than the rou-
tine of housekeeping was performed.
In the afternoon Sidney and Mr.. Kent
visited the park and brought back a
fresh stock of bananas. On the pre-
ceding day Mr.. Kent had shot fine
deer, and the Sunday dinner was
excellent. Mr.. Rockwell read aloud
chapter from the Bible, and made
short address, in which he said
they had reason to thank Providence
for having protected them in many
perils on land and sea. He followed
with an earnest prayer, in which
he returned thanks to God for His
manifold blessings and invoked His
assistance in their future undertake
ings.

public for several years in all sorts Of
ways. His first venture was as a youth
full aspirant for office under the second
Cleveland administration, when as a
newspaper reporter he had gained some
prominence in democratsa politics in
Portland, Ore. Cleveland liked his as
surance and asked him to become min
lister to Siam--not place of any great
Importance, but one which gave Barrett
an opportunity to acquire q reputation
as a diplomat and an expert in Asiatic
affairs.
Just after his term of service in Siam
came to an end, the war With Spain
broke out, the American flag was raised
over the Philippines and Barrett was
on the spot. He wrote le,te,s from Ma

CHAPTER XXI.
THE BUILDING OF TILE JUMPING
JUPITER.


Work on the boat proceeded with
great rapidity. Under the supcrvi-
sion of Mr.. Carmody the foundation
timbers of the raft were felled and
sollcd to the fiat rock which served
as a pier. His theory was to con
struct raft with a sustaining pow
er of 5000 pounds. The buoyancy
of the timber was carefully tested,
and an allowance made for the loss
by absorption of water. These ex-
periments showed that the timber
did not possess the proper specific
gravity to sustain the weight of
cabin, masts and the eight voyagers.
This nccessitated a change of plan,
and the construction of air-tight
compartments. They therefore built
"a framework of logs 40 feet in
length and IA feet in width, and so

home and Mark Hanna put him on the
stump in 1900. He was in all sorts of
places at opportune moments, was
stopping at the same house in Vermont
with Roosevelt the day Mckinley was
shot, and thus gained the notice of the
coming president, who offered him first
the Japanese mission and has now
given him the Argentine mission.

GOOD RADIANCE.

The Advertiser does not know of any
thoughtful Republican who regrets the
decision of ]. H. Boyd, Jonah Kuma'
lac and Charles Wilcox to follow tbs
spotted skirts of Curtis Iaukea into
an open showing of their Home Rule
fellowship. An avowed enemy can be
discounted; a treacherous friend can
not always be caught. Furthermore the
sooner party divests itself of it's dis
reputable membership the better for its
good name and it's future success.
Every Republican knows or ought to
know that the connection of Boyd, Ku-
malae and Wilcox with his party has
done it vastly more harm than good.
Boyd MIXED the Republican Territorial
committee three years ago of thousands
of dollars, much of which is believed TO
have gone to pay Home Rule campaign
expenses. AT any rate the Home Rulers
were SO grateful to Boyd for some
thing, that they soon after forced him
into office under Governor Dole's adj
ministration. This got the Republican
party into trouble at once From his
rapidly that Boyd was indicted and his
chief clerk, who is believed to have
been a catspaw merely, was convicted.
Where the money went which was not
traced to the clerk, Boyd has never
told. These circumstances so disguised
the party that, in the late primaries,
Boyd rallied a very small following, the
most of 1t composed of Home Rulers
masquerading as Republicans. Having
SO little political vitality, his departure
from the Republican fellowship counts
for nothing in loss of strength. Indeed
the party gains strength by it just as a
man does when he gets rid of bit of
gangrened flesh.
Kumalae fathered every Doodle bill
in the late Legislature and before the
session was through was able to buy
grocery store. A cheap, ignorant and
vicious demagogue, his presence in The
party was an offence to the nostril. AS
for the other seceder, Charles Wilcox,
he was dismissed for cause from the
employ of the Board of Health and
again from the Board of Public Works.
The Republican party, as one of moral
ideas, has no use for such as he. Now
that the whole gang are out the places
they occupied ought to be fumigated

The chief advantages of the law are
two: First the clearing of the title of
all back complications and uncertain
of future transfer.
Any one having to deal with lands
under the present system will realize
the immense relief of securing a fixed
and definite title instead of the present
uncertain ones, depending in many
cases on inheritance through unknown
native ancestors and on long lists of
indeXed names. 1t was bad enough
when most of the names were Hawai-
ian with but one spelling, although fire.
quently a man had several names used
at pleasure; but with the present mix
ture of Chinese, japanese and Portu-
guese names, spelled Theoretically and
according to the notions of each sue
ceSsive conveyancer, the confusion in
the index of conveyances is such as TO
induce nervous prostration in the
record searchers.
The new system will stop all this, and
give all titles a new start with a firm
foundation.
The other advantage named, that of
CHtdplSSS anu FACILITY OF transfer. Will
be strong and continuing argument in
favor of bringing lands under the sys-
TEN. The method of transfer will be
practically the same as that of trans
ferring corporation stock.
When a given piece of land is
brought before the court for re<istra-
ton, title is proved and passed on, and
the land registered. A certificate is
thereupon issued for that particular
piece of land. in the name of the owner.
If the owner wishes thereafter to sell
this land, all he has to do is to endorse
the certificate and deliver it to the pur-
chaser who thereupon can. upon sur
rendering it to the clerk of the land
registration court, secure the issuance
Of new certificate to himself. This
procedure avoids all deeds, abstracts OF
title and expense of lawyers.
While the people may at first be slow
to change over to the new system, the
advantages are so great that the court

HONOLULU's ROAD MENDlNG.

without in any way rejecting on
the good intent of the authorities, it
may be justly said that street-making

In Europe and in some parts of the
East has reached a stage where, with
minor repairs from time to time,
smooth track may be kept indefinitely
even under heavy traffic. The liter
allure of good roads, which is easily
obtainable, is full of instances in point
In driving out Waikiki way, the
spurs, dips and angles of the newly
built boulevard are already beginning
to appear. One notices a certain ir-
regularity under the wheels, although
the roadbed is fresh and new. By
the beginning of next spring this cost
ly highway will be in need of mending
and by another year. if past experience
counts for anything, the top dressing
will be off and Jagged stones will have
cropped up to spoil the rubber tires
OF carriages. Such is and has long
been the case with the macadamized
road up the Manoa hill. AS for the
fine carriage drive around Diamond
Head, which was completed not long
ago, it is being ruined by dirt-teaming
to the park. For pleasure purposes the
circuit of Leahi has been ruined. Is
1t not true that macadamized high

will destroy, must have been imper-
fectly constructed in the first place?
Possibly Marston Campbell, on his
return, will have some modern ideas
of road and street-making by which
the Public Works bureau and the tax
payers will profit.

upon the natives by the laws of Con-

for the purpose of maintaining a rev.

people, accustomed to self-government,

it hard to disconnect themselves from

SAN JOSE, Sept. 13.-J. w. Thrift. who
says he halls from Seattle, was shot in
the hip early this morning while trying
to enter the residence of Mrs. E. T. Wood
a 72 Stockton avenue. Mrs. Wood and
two other women were alone in the house.
About o'clock this morning Thrift came
to the house and attempted to break in
the front door. He was warned away
by the women, but refused to go.
Charles A. Holt, who lives next door,
was awakened by the women's cries and
went to their assistance with a six-shoot-
er. Warnings of Holt to Thrift to leave
the premises were not needed, and then
Holt shot in the air to frighten the fell
low. This had no effect on the would
be burglar, and Holt shot him in the
right hip. The bullet passed through the
fieshy part of the hip. making a painful
wound Thrift set up a howl of pain and
he was cared for until Deputy Sheriff
Dreischmeyer arrived. The shooting and
the bowling of Thrift awoke the neigh
bors and great excitement prevailed in the
vicinity for some time.
Asa Munsey, a partner of Thrift, was
arrested at the Rainier Hotel early this
morning The two men came here from
been picking prunes at the Blackwell
sey, the two men were drinking yester-
day and Thrift had mistaken the Wood
house for the one where he lived. This
is not believed however, as both men
were sober when arrested. The officers
believe that burglary was intended.
Thrift will probably be prosecuted for at

W.. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-The Mex

State Department Of his Government that
the officials Of that country are anxious
10 locate the former Consul General to
the port OF San Francisco, A. X. COney,
and the various consulates throughout
the United States have been instructed TO
make inquiries concerning the missing
man Although the representative Of the
Mexican republic here would not discuss
the matter this afternoon, the statement
was indiscreetly made by one Of the at
taches Of the legation that Coney is
charged with the wrongful use OF money
belonging to his Government during his
term of Office in San Francisco. and that
the moment he is located a move will be
made for his apprehension. 1t was init
mated that Coney was last seen in New
York City and that detectives employed
by the Minister have reported that they
expect 10 have him within a week. The
fact that COney has been in New York,
living quietly at a small hotel, was de-
veloped by detectives in San Francisco,
who watched his house and finally got
trace Of him through his mail.
