under Washington orders dated sep
tember 49, has been detached from the
u s. receiving ship Hancock at New
York and ordered to duty at Honolu-
H. He is to sail for this port on or
about October 1. Lieut.. Cushman will
probably act as assistant to Captain
NibIack, although it is known that
Captain Niblack's shore duty is about
up, and he may be ordered to sea at
any time.
Since receiving his promotion as
Lieut. Commander, Capt. Niblack has
not done sea duty, although he has
been Captain of the u S. s. Iroquois.

do duty at sea as an executive officer,
and his duty in connection with the
Iroquois may not be counted as such

Bah at the Naval station. At first he
was appointed as captain of the tug
Iroquois, then were added the duties of
Captain of the Yard, Lighthouse In

keep him. constantly employed. He is
in charge of the naval docks, the naval
station premises, the coal sheds, and
Is even customs inspector for Midway
Island where he has been only this
week, landing supplies for the marine
guard there and erecting lighthouse
He has placed nearly all the buoys
around the islands. In fact, he has
been one of the most valuable execu-
tive officers ever sent to the Honolulu
Naval Station. and his departure would
be greatly regretted by all who have
come in contact with him. An assist
ant to him was asked for and Lieut..
Burnham may fill the order.
