Fearless Takes Hold.

For over forty minutes the Mauna
LOa tuggcd away, without moving the
ship so much as a foot. Meanwhile
the powerful tug Fearless stood by
like dog with a bone in his teeth,
waiting for the Mauna Loa's line to
part, and the line parted right enough
and the Fearless walked in and had a
word with the Frenchman. Take

OF the Reyers skipper and the Fear,

hold.

Kennedy's Expedition.

toria street. over the telephone at an
early hour this morning he heard the
French ship was ashore. II was about
$50 o'clock that he grabbed his 31a'
inch French glasses and took q peep
at the vessel on the reef. He saw
that she was fast, that she was carry

All this naturamy gladdencd the heart
Of the steamship company president
But Mr. Kennedy realized that the
mail and passengers, particularly the
former. because Uncle Sam Is most
particular. must not be delayed, so he
at once wired Captain Haglund, the
LII. dock superintendent. to order out
the w. G. Hall for the trans fer of
mail and passengers.
Then Kennedy himself hustled to
town and went out with the Hall, reach
ing the scene about 7:40 o'clock.
Mr. Kennedy expected to relieve the
Mauna Loa of her mail and passenger
yank away for salvage. but disappoint
cd was in store, for. when the Hall ar
rived, the Mauna Loa was homeward
bound having parted her line. This
Mauna Loa locked at s o'clock and was
out of the reckoning.
Other Boats Go Out.
Mr.. Kennedy boarded the Reyer and
he and Captain Dieulengard discussed
the situation. Little or nothing was
said about how the ship came to 90
on the reef. On this point Captain
Dteulangard was very non-committal
and Mr.. Kennedy, as well as the
Frenchman, was more interested In
getting the vessel into deep water
again. Mr.. Kennedy wanted to know
II the Reyer was going to depend en-
tirely on the efforts Of the Fearless.
Finally Captain Dieulangard decided
that 1t was better not to depend on
the efforts of one tug and he consented
TO the Inter.Island boats taking hold.
Meanwhile the IL. s. N. Co. Niihau
and Likelike were standing by and q
line was passed from the latter to the
Reyer. This line was made fast around
the Likelike's aftermast. The Niihau
and Captain Miller's Lehua were close

Crowds View Reyer.
At sun-up people were already lining
the heights and the beach. Numerous
Hawaiian canoes put out to the strand
ed ship and everybody in the neighbor
hood who owned a small boat made use
of II.
Crowds went out to the beach resi-
dence of Admiral" Beckley, Aqua
Marina" and there obtained splendid
view of the big square-rigger:
The Reyer lay with her head pointed
north. The steamer Likelike, heading
south, pulled hard in an effort to DRAG
the iron vessel into the safe waters.
The tug Fearless, with her nose into
the southwest, strained away at anoth-
