Being bound for Kaanapali from
Newcastle, with a cargo of coal for the
Pioneer Mill Co., he arrived of Kahu-
lui Saturday morning, the 10Th, being
Obliged to enter his ship at the GUS
tom house there before proceeding on
his voyage to Kaanapali. He did not
care to enter the bay two far, fearing
less he could not get out again, so he
concluded to anchor off Spreckelsville,
his chart showing that there was
good depth of water there. To his sur
prise. on approaching the Spreckels-
Vile shore, the water suddenly became
shoai and he was obliged hastily TO
come to anchor for safety
Shortly after this. fearing disaster
owing to the strong wind blowing, he
showed danger signals to the steamer
Maui, which passed close by the Spar
tan at 10.30 o'clock a. m, on her way
to Hama without taking any notice.
Soon the ship dragged her anchor and
at noon was on the reef.

Drummuir corroborates Capt. Flynn's
statement concerning the depth or
water off Spreckelsville as shown by
the chart.

reported, the tug Fearless of Honolulu
tried in vain to pull the Spartan or
the rocks.

auction at Kahului or at Honolulu.
The Spartan remains upon the reef'
apparently in good condition, though
her false keel and other parts OF the
outside of her hull have been washed
ashore.
