plugged me in the Jaw, and then we
had fight, and SO I want him ar.
rested"
That was Chas. Freeman's explana-
ton of the outcome Of little difficulty
yesterday afternoon on the deck of the
British bark Lord Templetown. Free
man is stevedore boss, and Kalino
part Hawaiian and part negro, is a
plain, everyday stevedore. Kalino ac-
quired something of a jag after lunch
time. and didn't report back to work
in the afternoon. Ffsehnan put another
man on in his place and when Kalino
came back he found his job gone. :.
According to Freeman, Kalino took
this to be a reflection on his ability to
bad name, landed a heavy one on his
jaw. Then there was a lively scrap and
Kalino, after getting some bruises,
went ashore. Freeman took a police
man into his confidence and a search
was made for Kalino, who was finally
found leaning against the bar of a
waterfront saloon, shaking his thirst
with glass of lager. Kalino looked
as though he had gone through a mill.
Bumps and scratches appeared all over
his head and features. Freeman look
ed as if he had been used for a CHM
ney sweep.
Kalino told the police that the steve
dore boss started the row, and so to
even things up both were entered on
the visitors book for ARRAY, and will
tell Judge Whitney all about the af-
fair this morning. Kalino is over six
feet tall, and is one of the crack tug
of-war men.
SHERMAN SAILS FOR MANILA.
The transport Sherman departed at
o'clock last evening for Guam and
Manila. The big, white troopship was
handled from the naval slip to the
channel by the tug Fearless. The army
people aboard were gay with leis and
numerous friends were on the dock to
bid them goodbye. The vessel dis
charged a lot of hay and other stores
for the local quartermaster depot.
The coast files brought news of the
operations of some thieves aboard the
vessel on the up trip to San Francisco,
one of the passengers missing valu-
able tea-set from his room. 1t was
afterwards found in the refrigerator of
the vessel.
Captain Niblack Of the Naval Sta
ton sent an assortment Of trees and
seeds on the troopship for distribution
at Guam and in the Philippines. There
were 1000 ironwood trees. 200 silver oak
trees, 200 Brazilian rosewood trees, 1000
cypress trees, 1000 alligator pear seeds
and a dozen sacks of kiawe beans.
DREDGER WORKS LIKE A GIANT.
Some idea of the solidity of the foun-
dation Of this island Of ours may be
obtained by watching the giant set of
teeth of the dredger Governor crunch
it's way into the coral strata underly-
ing the new Alakea slip. That it is
solid is attested by the terrific strain
to which the long arms of the dredger
are subjected. After repairing the mas
sive upper arm which gave way the
other day and getting started again
Just recently, another mishap occurred
yesterday, when the thick steel cable
on the forearm snapped. Work had
necessarily to be delayed until new
cable could be reeved over the big pull
leys.
Dredging is a slow operation nova
days for all hands except the men who
operate the arms and steel-toothed jaw
of the dredger. The big dipper is fire.
uuently sent down dozen times with
out taking up more than few pounds
OF coral, small bits which are but the
edges of the crust. That coral is like
flint The strongest pressure OF the
SCOOP, biting into it a dozen or more
times. often fails to make much impress
sion. Then suddenly huge piece
weighing tons will be broken off and
a few dipperfuls are brought up.
The dredging work is one of the sights
of the front. Hacks. buggies and all
manner of vehicles may be seen at any
time of the day grouped along the edge
Of the new slip, and dozens of loiterers
fringe the bank, everybody intensely
absorbed in the exhibition OF steam and
modern appliances endeavoring to undo
the work of the billions of tiny coral
insects.
