WRECK OF THE
SHIP CORINGA
CAPTAIN JOSSELYN TELLS HOW
SHE PILED UP ON THE MALAY
PENINSULA IN 1850

Captain Josselyn of the American
bark Nuuanu was the star attraction
at the Oahu preparatory school where
he told the story of the wreck of the
American ship Coringa on November
16, 1880. The meeting was for the
benefit of the Kunalu Boat Club.
He told the story of the wreck with
wealth of detail, the wreck having
been accompanied by sufferings of Of
ficers, crew and of the captains wife
which made the story a thrilling one.
Before the lecture, Mrs. Shepardson
played a piano solo, Hugo Herzer sang
a baritone solo and then with r. c.
Brown sang "Larboard Watch"
The captin told how the Coringa sail
ed from Bangkok, Siam, and after eX-
periencing fearful weather, piled up on
the coast of the Malay peninsula. The
crew lived among the Malays for about
| a month and were kindly treated by
most of them. Finally the mate struck
across country to Penang and told of
the plight in which the others we're.
The steamer Kongkee was sent to the
rescue. President Arthur of the Unit
ed States rewarded the Malays for their
kindnesses.

that make, for they are made entirely
of lace OF open netting.
/ Young people as we'll as old wear
them. Indeed, have just got an order
for two dozen real lace nightcaps for a
bride"
The countess can advance a variety
of reasons why women should return
to the dainty little head-coverings OF
early Victorian times,
Women of fashion have been quick
10 appreciate the pretty caps which
cover up unsightly hair wavers." said
the countess, land, of course, when
they are ill and do not want to dress
their hair the night-cap is invaluable.
/ The ribbon strings can be drawn and
! the frills made to fasten close to the
wearer's head"
Embroidered net, with tiny frlls OF
/ Nalenciennes lace, composes one of the
prettiest of the nightcaps designed by
the countess. At each side, just over
the ears, are two coquettish rosettes
made of loops of white silk bebe rib
bon.
Maclyn Arbuckle, the star in THE
County Chairman" delivered the fol-
lowing philosophic remarks partly to
himself and partly to a man as they
were on their way across the stage to
Mr.. Arbuckle's dressing room one af-
ternoon recently. "A mighty strange
and lonesome feeling always comes
over me when I enter an empty thea
ter like this in the daytime. Within a
few hours 1 will make my entrances
right at this spot. Now 1 look out on
an empty auditorium, dark, somber and
grim as graveyard at night and SC
quiet you can hear that mouse thers
nibbling at the trombone players chair
But in a few hours this gloomy, silent
tomb-like place will be full Of light!
shining upon a multitude Of laughing
faces and the whole thing will be trans.
formed into a house of mirth. If 1 were
one of those disagreeable pessimists
might say that this scene Is typical o
the real life Of some actors, while the
happy animated scene at night is tn,
view the audience has Of stage life"
