Americans probably do not recognize
how keenly the Kaiser desires from
Rome recognition OF his services to
Christianity. Almost from the day OF
his accession he has labored and planned
to this end. Bismarck's downfall was
necessary partly on this account, for
Bismarck still in power would have
found ample opportunity OF directing
rldicule upon "that young man." as he
called his sovereign when their relations
grew strained.

PARIS. August S.--Parisians are already
now looking forward with great expecta-
tons to the visit of the King of Italy,
who had originally intended to visit the
city on Bastille Day, July 14th.
There has been great deal Of talk
about this royal visit First 1t was said
that the King would be accompanied by
Queen Elena; then that he would be alone
Then the visit was postponed to the end
of July, and now 1T Is said that he Will
arrive in September.
The fact is that no day has been fixed
for the visit, which, however, Will prob
ably take place in October. when the
Queen shall be able to accompany the
grandson of III re galantuomo' to the
country to which his family owe so much
At the same time the Prince and Prn-
cess of Wales will probably also visit
us, according to promise given to Pres
ident Lonbet in England.
Nor Will this be all, as the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess of Roumania
have also announced their intention to
visit this city during that month, and
parisians may then imagine that the days

History Of the
renchman

The Conetable de Richmont is a yes
sci built for the new French marine,
in 1901 at Nantes, France, for the Ste.
Bretonne de Navigator Gle of Nantes.
She is 227 feet in length, 40 feet inches
beam, % feet inches in depth.
The boat of the executive officer,
Lame, went in a direction which may
result in the loss of his crew. Only
steamers from Seattle for Yokohama
pass over that portion of the ocean, and
not frequently.
The carpenter was almost drowned
while the party was landing on Kauai.
The breakers were very rough and the
boat capsized. The carpenter had eat
en- but little since leaving the ship and
was very weak. His companions saved
him. The provisions in each boat con-
sisted of three bags of biscuit. But for
occasional showers, the water supply
would have run short.

Company yesterday afternoon:

The officers of the Nippon Maru will

on her westward trip.

when asked whether a vessel flying sig
nails indicating shortness of provisions
had been seen near Midway Islands
while the steamship was enroute from
Yokohama to Honolulu about the middle
of September said that about five SAIL
ing vessels had been sighted on the trip,
but that none were clearly made out.
and no such signals had been observed.

French Captain
Makes Statement

The statement of Captain Rault, of
Frigate Shoals, that the resemblance
of the main rock of the shoals to a full
rugged ship Iured him into the reef, is
borne out by that of several shippers
who have visited those lonely islets of
the Pacific.
Forty years ago Captain n. C. Brooks
visited the shoals in the Hawaiian
bark Gambia which was then on
sealing cruise. On his return here he
described the French Frigate Shoals
as being very dangerous to navigation
and described the main rock, as ap-
pearing from a distance of about eight
miles, as looking like full-rigged brig
In his report he said: Next visited
French Frigate Shoals, situated in lati-
tude 2S.46 North and longitude 1864
West, or rather this is the position of
the principal rock on which is the very
large and extensive deposit of guano
reported to exist there. The reef is
crescent shape. about forty-five miles
in circumference. One point of the
crescent is to the N. w. and the other
bears S. s. e. The shoal is protected
on the N. E. and S. E. by reef on
which the surf breaks heavily. The
guano rock is about $50 feet long and
forty feet wide at the base, and rises
very abruptly to a height of 125 feet,
forming ridge. at each end of which
there is a space of about twelve square
feet. This rock is situated about in the
center of the shoal and can be seen at
a distance of some eight miles, and
closely resembles a full-rigged brig.
These shoals open to the west. There is
no danger outside of the line of break
ers. There is good anchorage inside
the reef in from five to fourteen
fathoms Of water. The largest sand
spit of the group bears from N. E. by
e. from the rock, about four miles dis
tant. Inside this spit there is a good
harbor where a vessel of any draft of
water may enter and lay in safety
from the sea with a good anchorage.
Water may be obtained on the largest
of these splits at about eight feet below
the surface. 1t is very brackish and
strongly impregnated with lime. The
shoals abound with fish and turtle
The position given above by Captain
Brooks does not agree with later sur
veyS.

The Vessel
Abandoned

On Sunday morning, October II, Cap
tain Rault concluded to man the boats
and leave the vessel to her fate. as
he was short of provisions. Each boat
was fitted out with food and water to
last fifteen days, although the cap
tain's boat had less than the others.
Each boat had sails and compasses.
Captain Rault's decision was to set out
for the Hawaiian Islands, and the start
was made at 6 a. m, Oct. II. The boat
in charge of Lame went in northerly
direction, against Captain Rault's or
ders. 1t was really a case of mutiny.
Capt. Rault and Boatswain Rault
started together for Hawaii. They kept
together until Thursday evening, Octo-
Der Is, when the compasses were COM
pared. On that night the boats separ-
ated, Captain Rault having seen the
Boatswain's boat between and g. Cap
tain Rault made fire signals during the
night but they were not answered. 1t
is supposed that the Boatswain came
to the conclusion that he knew more
than the captain and struck out for
himself. Two days later, however, on
October IS, Captain Rault arrived safe
ly on Niihau at 3 p. m. The party left
the French boat on Niihau being con-
veyed to Waimea, Kauai, in another
boat, arriving in Honolulu on the
steamer Mikahala yesterday morning.
During the last two days of the boat
journey the captain and his crew suf-
fered somewhat from the water which
had become bad, but it was better
than nothing.
Captain Rault spent the day in the
office of the French Consulate making
up full report of his voyage and the
disaster which will be forwarded by
Consul Raas to the Ministry of Marine
and also to the owners.
Consul Raas will await the result
of the search for the missing boats be-
fore deciding what to do with the saved
mariners. Those now here, and the
others if saved, will either be sent to

CONTINUED from page L,

the Conetable de Richmont sailed about
in the China Sea. On the night of Sep
ternber 4 the Pacific Mail steamship
City of Picking sighted ship which
had up signals of distress. The Pek-
ing was hove to and a boat from the
stranger pulled over. The vessel was
the Conetable de Richmont, eighty
days out of Hongkong and short of
provisions. A boat load of eatables was
sent over to her and the Picking con-
tinued on her journey, reporting the
matter at Honolulu, the story of which
was printed in the Advertiser. The
vessel was to have put into Yokohama
but failed to do so.
The Frenchman next fell in with a
Swedish steamer near the Ladrones or
Marianne Islands. A request was made
for provisions but was refused by the
Swedish skipper on the ground that he
was poorly supplied. About a month
or five weeks ago, the captain of the
ship reports that they signalled large
steamer headed eastward, and his de-
scription of the yessel-white hull, two
masts, two yellow tunnels, bowsprit
would indicate it was vessel of the
Togo Kisen Kaisha, probably the Nip
pom Maru. Captain Rault says this
steamer was sighted west of the Mid
way group The day the vessels met, it
is claimed by the captain that the
steamer appeared to steam straight to-
ward him, and he then hoisted signals
when about five miles distant to indi-
cate he was short of provisions. Just
at this time the stranger changed her
course and steamed away

The LoreIei
of the Shoals

Capt. Rault then decided to put into
Honolulu for provisions. In order to
get the advantage of heavier winds he
steered off to the northeast. On Octo-
Der 10, Saturday morning, after mid
night, the vessel was going ahead
easily, the weather being fair, although
the night was dark. Poilvert, the car
penter, was on watch. About a. m.
the lookout reported a full-rigged ship
off the port bow. The watch on deck,
with their attention attracted to the
object, saw the huge bulk, and thoughts
of fresh provisions arose in heir minds.
One thing struck them as odd, that
the stranger had set no lights. The
Frenchman held on in chase of the
phantom, and then suddenly the mys-
terious three-masted vessel doomed up
as the 120 foot high islet which lies
in the semi-circle of coral teeth to the
east. Orders were given by the CAP
tain, who had previously been summon
ed on deck, to change the course, but
they came too late. The vessel was
found to be making her way in the
midst of submerged coral. The look
out had also seen a line of breakers
ahead A rush was made to the wheel
to put the ship about, but before this
maneuver could be accomplished, the
Conetable de Richmont had struck with
a force which almost shook the masts
out of her. She remained fast, her
bow damned in the coral. The sea was
comparatively smooth and this pre-
vented the ship from pounding. Both
anchors were dropped, and a kedge
anchor was put out astern, and an eff
fort was made at once to get the yes
sci off, but without success. The shin
was held in tight embrace. 1t was
4:30 a. m. exactly when the thing hap
pened. Steam was got up and the dom
key engine was worked all day Satur-
day The pumps were sounded but no
water had entered showing the hull
was not damaged. The ship was tilted
over on one side, and in this condition
she was when the officers and crew
abandoned her the next day.
