CHILD OF TEN
A DECK HAND

The oil-cargo steamer Argyll, which
arrived yesterday morning from San
Francisco, had most curious crew,
the youngest being about ten years of
age. It was composed of women as
we'll as men, and the captain says he
is satisfied with his arrangement 1t
is not probable, however, that the steam
er will carry such a queerly assorted
crew after she returns to San Francisco,
where a new one may be taken on.
In the Crew were Mr.. and Mrs John
Baker, the former the manager of the
Union Oil Co., Mr.. and Mrs. Stoney and
their ten-year old child. The latter was
listed as a deck hand. The ladies went
in other capacities. They had to, at
least in an honorary way, as the Argyll
IS not passenger ship.
Mr.. Stoney was the attorney for the
treasure-seekers who went down to the
South Seas in the schooner Herman
Mr.. Stoney passed through Honolulu
several times while searching for the
gold-hunters. He had laughable expert
ences in trying to locate the spoil
The Argyll will probably leave again
for another cargo

ISLAND BOATS
SIGHT A HULL

SAN FRANCISCO, July I2.-There
seems to be some doubt as to whether it
was the hull of vessel or dead whale
that was seen by the barkentine w. H.
Dinond. The report made by Captain
Nansen of that vessel states that some
wreckage was passed fifty miles west of
the Farallones, and on the following
day what appeared to be the hull of
a vessel was seen drifting out.
To-day the schooner Defender arrived
from the islands with the news that yes
terday morning, in latitude 81 so north
and longitude I24 10 west, long dark
object was seen about FIVE miles distant
and all hands took it to be a derelict
The vessel was becalmed at the time and
Captain Nelson sent the first mate alott
with the glasses to find out what 1t was.
He reported to the skipper that it was
the hull of a vessel He said that it was
about 100 feet long, painted black, with
white at both ends.
When the marine community had made
up its mind that another coaster had
met misfortune, the schooner H. Z.
Wright appeared with another story OF
the dere1ict and it tends to allay the
fears. Captain Nielsen of the H. c.
Wright, which arrived in port last night,
SCOTS the idea of wreck and states en-
phatically that it was dead whale. He
States that early yesterday morning,
when about 100 miles W. n. w. of this
port. he observed the object. He steer
ed for it and when within $50 feet OF 1t
discovered that it was dead right

CONNECT S. PEDRO
AND HONOLULU

The desire of Hawaii to have direct
steamship connection with San Pedro
is expressed by the following letter TO
H. NJ Dow, who recently wrote to the
secretary of the Citizens Harbor Pro-
tective and Improvement League of San
Pedro on the subject:
Dear Sir:-Your communication June
ID, to hand Your letter was read to
the League at their regular meeting last
night, and | believe all members pres
er1t were satisfied that there are many
advantages to be derived from steam
ship company between here and Homo
lulu, such as you propose The subject
is receiving considerable attention here,
and l believe the object can be accom-
plished in the very near future through
the combined efforts of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee and the influential
men of San Pedro.
Yours very truly,
FRED. w. LLOYD,
Secretary.

A wireless message was received yes

ship American of the Amer
lean line had gone ashore at Kamalo,
Molokai.
A message was Immediately sent by
cable to San Francisco with instruc-
tons to forward it at once to the head
office of the Hawaiian American in
New York. 1t read as follows:

ing Sent. Inform New York.

Owing to the first information that
the American was still aground ar
engagements were made for the U. S. S.
Iroquois to go to the rreighter's as
sistance. The tug Counselman of HiIo,
now in this port, was ordered to pro-
coed to Kamalo and the steamship
Mauna Loa was provided with extra
heavy tackle to pull the American off.
The Mauna Loa would have to pass
near Kamalo on her regular run to
Maui and Hawaii The steamer Kau-
al was also to go to the scene, and
all else failing she was to lighter the
sugar taken on at this port. No efforts
were spared by Agent Morse to do ev
erything possible to relieve the Amer
lean from her dangerous position.

Captain Niblack, U. S. N, who has
just returned from a cruise in the
Iroquois to Molokai and Maui ports
said yesterday with reference to the
S. S. Americans going on the rocks
off Kamalo:
THAT is bad place and I can we'll
understand how the steamship struck
the reef. L have been there and the
only warning for navigators is a
marking buoy, near which the island
steamers anchor. It cannot be seen at
night.
There is a fierce wind which drives
down through theMolokai-M Maui chan
mel and by hugging close to the Molo-
kai shore this wind is missed. 1 pre-
sumo that is how that American went
on the reef.
There is really no chart of the
south side of the Moloka1 shore. There
should be one and on a large scale as
there are many dangerous places.
Owing to the height of the. mountains
rising up from the shore a steamer
officers going along in the night might
be misled by the extreme height of
the mountains and think they were
really farther off than they are
