UNKNOWN NEGRO'S BODY
F|SHEO FROM THE CANAL
Indications that 1t Had Been in
the Water for Some
Time.

The body of an unidentified negro was
found in the canal just west of the West
street bridge yesterday afternoon. From
the condition of the body it is thought it
had been in the water for some time. The
discovery was made about noon by people
crossing the bridge. The mans hands were
both sticking out of the water when first
noticed. The high water of the last few
days probably dislodged it from some point
either on the bank under the bridge Nc
one could identify the body yesterday.
William Henry, a bartender for Matt
Lewis, at West street and the canal, says
that about two months ago, while he was
crossing the bridge, he heard persons quar-
reling and after he had crossed the bridge
and proceeded down West street he heard
some one cry for help and then a splash In
the water. He thought at the time that il
was nothing serious.

SUMMARY OF THE
WEEKS PORT NEWS

The past week has been fairly busy
in shipping circles. The week began
with squirt, the Miowera arriving and
departing Sunday and the Nevadan
appearing Monday morning. After this,
however. things were at a standstill
and, except for the Coronado's appear
ing on wednes day, there was nothing
arriving during the middle of the week
On Thanksgiving evening the Neva-
dan departed for Kahului to discharge
her freight for that port. Since then,
however, the rough weather has very
much hindered her in that work.
Friday and yesterday were quite
busy. The Alameda locked shortly be-
fore a. m. and the Manchuria came
to anchor outside two hours later. The
Manchuria was so loaded down with
freight for the Orient that she could
not come in the harbor.. She sailed yes
terday shortly after noon for the ORR
ent.
The Gaelic arrived and departed yes
terday. She locked at the Channel
wharf about a. M and continued her
voyage to San Francisco at D. m.
She had practically no passengers and
but little freight for this port but Is
carrying large amount of freight to
San Francisco.
= The other departure yesterday was
the Norwegian steamer Inger which
brought fertilizers from Ocean Island
sometime ago. She was to have depart
ed earlier in the week but her sailing
was put off a couple of times by Mr..
Arundel, her owner, who wished to
take in the Thanksgiving festivities.
The vessels now in port Excluding
obsolete boats in naval row and small
inter-island schooners) are:
The Kaiulani which is at the Rail-
road wharf taking ballast.
The Erskine NJ. Phelps is wintering
at the Hackfeld wharf.
The Niihau. James Makee, Ike Au
Hou are at the Inter-Island wharf.
The barkentine Coronado is at the
Irmgard wharf
The Alameda is at her old place at
the Oceanic wharf The Kaiulani is
at the Coal wharf and Kinau at her
usual place. Both are discharging
freight.
The Likelike is at the Bishop slip,
being overhauled and the George Cur
tbs is still there unloading.

GAELIC WAS
in AND OUT

The Occidental and Oriental steam
ship Gaelic arrived early yesterday
morning from Yokohama, docking at s
O'Clock. She brought two passengers
for this port and had only seven
through for San Francisco.
She brought 40 tons of freight for
this port and has very large amount
of freight for the Coast The Gaelic
comes very near to the record for fewest
passengers with only seven. Not lady
is on board except the stewardess.
An interesting occurrence took place
just as the Gaelic was about to pull
out. immigration Inspector Cullen had
tarried too long and found the gang
way gone. He did not dare to drop
from the vessel to the wharf. a matter
of about six feet, and so was lowered
to terra firma by Chinese sailor. A
cheer went up from nearly every
one present and Mr.. Cullen acknowl-
edged the tribute by a wave of the cap.
