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 TO- Saturday morning, after mid
night, the vessel was going ahead
easily, the weather being fair, although
| the night was dark. Poivert, 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-
| FERROUS three-masted vessel doomed up
as the 120 foot high islet which lies
in the semi-circle of coral teeth to the
east Orders We're 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. rush was made to the wheel
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 jammed in the coral. The sea was
comparatively smooth and this pre-
vented the ship from pounding. Both
anchors were dropped, and kedge
anchor was put out astern, and an eff
fort was made at once to get the ves-
sci off, but without success. The ship
was held in a 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.

CHINESE WILL PAY
MOST OF THE FEES

One might think, from reading about
the consideration of fee for dIsinter-
ment certificates by the Board of
Health, that there was a considerable
tendency not to let the dead rest in
Honolulu. Inquiry at the Health office
elicits the information that the Chinese
almost monopolize the business of
opening graves and removing the re-
mains therefrom.
That nationality believes that there Is
no rest remaining for the people of
China who are quit OF toll upon the
earth but sepulture in or upon the soil
of the Celestial Empire. All those Chi
nese, therefore, who can afford the ex-
pense have the bones of relatives dying
in this country taken up from their
intendedly temporary graves here for
shipment to China, there to be deposit
ed in their resting graves" to quote
the expression of Robert Louis Steven
sons.
This Chinese disinterment business
has given good deal Of extra trouble
to the Board of Health officials, hence
the demand for a compensating fee. a
soodly but not exorbitant figure is nam
I'd in the regulation on that subject
now awaiting the action of the Board.

MAY HAVE
DONE MURDER
Three Japanese Held to
Account for Taka's
Death.

Nomura, Tanaka and Hirora, three
Japanese, who have figured at differ
ent times as the husbands OF Taxa,
the Japanese woman who was found
floating in the ocean off the premises
of Governor Dole at Diamond Head on
Sept. 30, will be held to the grand Jury
which will investigate the affair and
determine whether or not indictments
for the murder of the woman will be
returned. The coroner's jury which
investigated the case last night made
tentative recommendation that this
action be taken.
There is a possibility also that the
men may be called before the Federal
grand jury, as they have admitted that
they were in the slave trade, that is,
buying and selling the woman who
met her death, possibly by foul means
The testimony of DR.. ]. s. b. Pratt,
executive officer of the Board of Health,
given before the coroner's jury inquest
held at the police station last night,
was to the effect that the woman had
received blow on her head before the
body had entered the water. DR.. Pratt
read the notes of DIR. Mcdonald, who
made the autopsy, in which DIR. Nc
Donald said the woman had received
n blow on the head which brought on
her death, superinduced by drowning.
Tanaka Sekimatsu, the woman's hus-
band when she came to her death, had
bought her for $l20 from Nomura. Ia
naka had been the husband for three
weeks. He returned to his home at
p. m. and his wife was missing. He
said search was made for her that
night. The first he knew of her death
was when he heard her body had been
found. He said he and his wife" had
had no trouble, and she had been cheer
full when he left her on the evening of
her disappearance.
Nomura had known the woman for
about a year, but had not seen her for
four weeks prior to her death. She
had been his wife before Tanaka bought
her.
The jury brought in the following
verdict
That the said Taxa Tanaka (w) came
to her death at Waikiki, Honolulu on
September 30, from hemorrhage of the
brain caused by blow on the head in
iiicted by u person to this jury I'M

A Long Trail
of MisfOrtunes

The Conetable de Richmont left
Hongkong June 16 for Taetal, nitrate
port of Chile, South America, after
having discharged at Hongkong a cargo
Of oil and wheat. She had 400 tons of
water ballast. For nearly three months
the Conetable de Richmont sailed about
in the China Sea. on the night of Sep
TENDER 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
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

OUT
WITH GEAR
The Judges Old Bosom
Friend and Clerk
Leaves Him.

! Gear and Loucks have separated.
Specifically inclined persons will now
doubt the story of David and Jonathan
and flout the less authentic but equally
beautiful legend Of Damon and Pythias.
When Judge Gear came to the Circuit
Court bench three years ago. he called
+. II. Loucks from his private voca-
ton in bookstore to be clerk of his
court. Judge and clerk outside of
courtroom and judicial chambers were
generally recognized as bosom friends.
In the Judges bachelor days, where
you would see one you would see the
other.
A rift lately appeared in the lutte,
which has now developed into an open
and complete rupture. This climax
arrived on Monday afternoon last after
Judge Gears court had adjourned for
the day. Mr.. Loucks, annoyed at in
stances of the JUDGES fault-finding
with him In the course of the days
court session, informed his Honor that
he might confer the clerks Office upon
an object that could appreciate it's hon
OTIS ana efilOluinenlS, with the trimming
of judicial hypercritcism, better than
the wearer.
On Tuesday vi. r. Simonton, clerk to
Judge Robinson, ofiiciated in Judge
Gears court and again yesterday. He
could not say, for anything he knew,
that Mr.. Loucks was not merely taking
n few days of rest by leave. Mr..
Loucks himself was seen yesterday ev-
ening, however, and while reticent over
the cause of his retirement stated that
he resigned the clerkship voluntarily.
Further, he intimated that the trouble
between Judge Gear and himself had
begun some time ago. Both in and out
of court the Judge would pick him up
on his work, and on Monday last in
stances of this treatment in open court
made the situation intolerable,
Judge Gear Will require to engage
some one as clerk this week, unless one
Of the deputies in the judiciary clerks
office can be spared to him for while,
as Judge Robinson will resume civil
jury trials next week and needs his
own clerk. The Office carries a goodly
salary and for the right kind of man
there are lucrative pickings in COM
missioner's and masters fees.

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 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 We're not answered. 1t
Is supposed that the Boatswain came
to the conclusion that he knew more
than the captain and struck out for

was poorly supplied. About month
or five weeks ago, the captain of the
ship reports that they signalled large
steamer headed eastward, and his de-
scription of the vessel-white hull, two
masts, two yellow tunnels, a 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.
