of casts had been taken from a marble
copy of Devine's head of Napoleon but
that the three which had been sent to Morse
Hudson a year or SO before had been half
of batch of six, the other three being
sent to Harding Brothers OF henslngton;
There was no reason why those six should
be different to any of the other casts. He
could suggest no possible cause why any
one should wish to destroy them-in fact,
he laughed at the idea. Their wholesale
price was six shilings, but the retailer
would get twelve or more. The cast was
taken in two moulds from each side of the

may be sure there will be no cables
left in the bottom of the harbOr, for
they will be all picked up by the cut

Capt. LOrenzen repeated to the Ad
vertiser last night that neither he. the
captain of the ship nor the officer on
the after deck on the watchout saw
this buoy. He is positive it was not
there, at least not in place. When
told that two captains had seen it
only a. quarter of an hour before, he
repeated that he did not see it and
that it must have been off by the
Mokolif. AS to the diameter of the
cable, he could not state, but he
thought the length must have been
fully two hundred feet, as he noticed
the stern of the ship, as she headed
out of the harbor with the buoy at
tached and it was about that distance
from the proper place of the buoy.
Lieut. Slattery states that the har-
Dor in under the control of the Secre-
tary of War. but matters of anchor
age are under the local Harbor Mas
ter. He is investigating the matter
and will continue his investigation, but
he admitted that the case is a puZ-
zlfng one. He said further that no
formal complaint had yet been filed
IL lis office nor had he intimation of
any as yet. but that he would in
vestigate it on his own hook. His
theory of the matter is that the cable
was an old one which had been long
buried under the mud and partially
uncovered by the dredger operations
and then had been completely dug up
by the Siberia, whose propellers come
pretty close to the bottom in some
places.

authorities The Pacific this time had
a wire cable on the lighthouse buoy.
Capt Fuller said further that it was
perfectly plain to him that the cable
had pulled the buoy out of place and
under the stern of the Siberia and that
the strain on the buoy chain had parted
it. He had the buoy brought back
from off port, where the Siberia left
it last night, and there was no anchor
attached to it, so both the anchor and
chain to the old boiler on the reef and
the chain to the anchor on the coral
below the buoy had been parted some
time Only an investigation will show
whether both were parted by the ST.
berias strain on the buoy, or whether
the change of position in the buoy re-
ported by Captain Flint had been due
to the previous breaking of the chain
to the anchor below. which was there
to keep the buoy in position.
Capt. w. A H Conner states that it
is almost an impossibility that the
cable could have come from his
dredger. the Pacific. He finished work
in the neighborhood of Bishops wharf
some days ago and was working to-
ward the channel when the Siberia left,
more than a thousand feet away. The
Harbor Master went up, first thing
yesterday morning, to see the super
intendent of Public Works and he went
at once to Lieut. Slattery's office
After talking the matter over, Lieut..
Slattery and Capt Conner went down
