NoEAU ALMOST SANK.
Owing to an extremely heavy load
On the forward deck the steamer No
eau almost sank off Makapuu Point on
Tuesday. Captain Peterson brought
the vessel back to Honolulu, and enough
Of the cargo was discharged for the
vessel to put to sea this morning in
safe condition.
The cargo filed the hold and besides
there was thirty-two tons of coal on
the forward deck, $4,000 feet of lum-
her in the alleyways and quantity of
kerosene oil tins stored about the
decks. She was down to eleven feet
six inches at the bow and twelve feet
eight inches aft, whereas her maxi
mum mark is ten feet forward and
twelve feet aft.
When off Diamond Head the vessel
plunged into heavy seas Her nose
dug down deep and the forward part
of the boat was partly submerged and
Abe decks generally were flooded. All
doors leading to the lower regions Of
the boat were closed up tight, and no
water, luckily, got into the engine
room. Finally Captain Peterson gave
orders to put the vessel about and re-
turn to Honolulu.
The officers positively refused to 60
to sea again unless the load was re-
duced. The matter was also laid be-
fore the Masters and Pilots Associa-
tion which held special meeting to
consider the matter. 1t was there de-
elared that no member of the Associa-
tion should take out the vessel if she
was loaded down so deeply as reported.
The company accepted the Associa-
zion IS ultimatum, and reduced the load.
The coal was piled on the forward
deck as rush order had been received
for coal on Hawaii plantation.
WASN'T AFRAID OF MARSHAL.
+. B. Friel, who was placed aboard
the ship w. II. Smith on Tuesday after
noon by Marshal Hendry, after an at
tachment had been served on the ves-
sci at the instance of Umekichi Naka,
japanese stevedore who was hurt
aboard on Monday, informed Deputy
Marshal Winter yesterday that the cap
tain had threatened him. Mr.. Friel s
letter to Mr. Winter is as follows:
''I am having lots of trouble here.
Last night the captain ordered me
ashore and told me that he had cleared
the ship at the Custom House yester-
day at 3 p. M, and would leave this
morning as soon as he could get the tug
boat to tow him out, and that he would
put me ashore and he didn't give n
damn for the marshal or any one else.
What shall dot"
Shortly afterward the ship captain
stood on the carpet in U. s. District
Attorney Breckons' room, and there re-
seived some energetic words of advice
as to his future conduct while federal
officer remained aboard the ship.
MARINERS STRANGE WILL.
According to the will of the late
Captain S. II. Lucas, who died short
time ago in Los Angeles, the body Is to
be cremated, the ashes put in cop
per globe, with name and age engraved
thereon and under it the following:
Crooked in the cradle of the deep
lay me down, in peace to sleep"
The globe is to be given to the Off
GERS in charge of some United States
man-of-war with the request that it be
thrown overheard in the Pacific mid
