LOOK FOR
SUBMERGED ROCKS

J. D. Hague who arrived on the
Sierra, will join the cruiser Tacoma
on her return trip to the coast, and
will assist in the location of hidden
reefs reported between here and San
Francisco. Mr.. Hague has not been
here since 1860. He was here when the
U. S. s. Levant sailed from Honolulu
and was never heard of again. He
believes that the Levant struck an un-
charted reef and has urged the gov
eminent at different times to under
take the location of the hidden island.
This is the same reef of which Cap
tain Chapman, late of Tahiti, referred
to in an interview which was publish
ed in the Advertiser a couple of weeks
ago. Submerged rocks We're located by
a vessel bound for Tahiti in 1853, and
the cabin boy on that vessel is still
living in Tahiti. He remembers the
discovery of the submerged reefs and
told Captain Chapman of them only
couple of years ago.

do in Australia and telling what he had
been doing during his past years work
= the mainland. Because of Mr.. Koe-
i de's limited stay he was asked -to
make statement Immediately after
the opening of the meeting Professor
Koebele said that he had been quite
successful in his visit to Ohio during
the last summer, in obtaining a Num-
Der of parasites to prey upon the leaf
hopper. He said it was too early to
predict just what the results OF the ac-
tivity OF these parasites in the Hawai-
ian cane fields would be, as it might
be year or two before their work
was effective. Mr.. Koebele also told of
his find of similar parasite in Cali

ne also brought with him two boxes of
insects which would be propagated by
Entomologists Terry and Kirkaldy.
Asked as to his coming work In Aus
fralia Mr.. Koebeie stated that it would
not be confined solely to the collection
of feaf-hopper parasites, but would ex-
tend to a search for beneficial insects
In general. He said that he had already
spent fourteen months in the colonies
and knew of certain parasites which !
might be beneficial to the islands.
Among these he hoped to send back in

CAPTAIN RlNDE r

Captain J. H. Kinder, master of the

Brazil. After conducting a thorough
investigation. United States Local In

John K. BuIger submitted yesterday
the following decision to Captain John
Birmingham. Supervising Inspector for
the First District. of California:
From testimony taken III our In
vestigation of this case We find that
the steamship Mongolia, ]. II. Kinder,
master from Norfolk, Va, to San
Francisco. Cal, was running along the
coast in order to verify the chronome-
tiers. AT 1858 2. m. March 9Th the yes-
sci struck on a reef or shoal. The
weather was clear, the wind light and
a smooth sea. soundings taken around
the vessel showed five fathoms near
the bow. FIVE and a half fathoms on
each side anidships and eight fathoms
aft. The tide was about half flood;
vessel was drawing twenty-seven feet
forward and twenty eight feet aft. At
4:2S p. IN. the vessel f1oated
The following bearings We're taken
at the time the vessel was aground:
Selleiro point, N. % w; Olinda light
house. IS. IS W., true BY the chart
these bearings locate the ship in flf-
teen fathoms of water and four miles
outside Of the fve-fathom line Of
soundings along the land. There are
no indications on the chart of reef
or shoa1 water in this vicinity.
AFTER a careful consideration of the
evidence in this case we have to exon !
crate Captain J. II. Kinder from blame
in connection with the grounding of
the steamship Mongolia on March 6.

cONDEMNING BALLAST.
Professor Perkins and Mr.. Kirkaldy
asked the Board for ruling as to bal
last brought into port. Often soil was
brought in and discharged here and
there was danger that it might contain
some harmful insects. Mr.. Gfffard stat
ed that as long as the ballast came from
San Francisco or Pacific Coast ports
there was no way TO stop its discharge
but all soil brought from other eoun-
tries should be inspected. He said that
the entomologists could use their own
Judgment as to whether the ballast
should be passed or not. Some ballast
such as sand. in which nothing could
grow, might be admitted without ques-
ton.
