ALASKAN DRIVEN
OUT OF KAHULUI
WIND SUDDENLY CHANGED TO
THE SOUTH YESTERDAY AND
STEAMER PARTED HER LINE.

The S. 5. Alaskan had to get out of
Kahului yesterday. She parted her
stern line and Captain Nichols did not
waste any time at the Maui port. He
sought the open sea, carrying with him
two scows loaded with sugar. News Of
the occurrence was brought this morn
ing by the steamer Maui.
There had been a mild breeze yester-
day but about l p. m. the wind sud
denly freshened up from the southwark
The Alaskan had been able to load
nearly half of her cargo at Kahulu but
the fresh wind from the land caused
her to part her stern lines. She drop
ped her head lines Immediately, drew
up her anchor and put to set. The sea
was smooth and no difficulty was ex-
perienced putting the sugar aboard
from the scows. In all about 1000 bags
of rhgar were loaded. The Alaskan
will probably go back to the harbor
today if the weather changes and will
finish loading her cargo of sugar and
proceed to Hilo to complete her loading
for Delaware Breakwater. She left Ho-
nolulu for Kahului last Tuesday night
and got to Kahului the following morn
ing, and up to the time that she had to
seek safety in the open sea, had been
making very rapid progress loading
sugar.

Scott commands the bark Gerard C.
Tobey and Taylor, the bark Dumfreis-
shire. The Tobey has about 21OO tons
of sugar aboard while the other craft
has about 900 tons of ballast. Both
boats depart today for the mainland.
The Tobey goes to San Francisco, the
Dumfresshire to Eureka, California.
Eureka is further away than San Fran
cisco but Taylor declares that he thinks
he can get there before Scott gets to

made a bet yesterday. The race is
now on. The question now pending is
whether the vanquished will toast the
