MISSED HIS POI.
Now and again a native boy. acting
as messenger, comes aboard. One day
he minated that he was hungry and
was taken into the cooks galley and
there turned loose. Such wealth of
good things had never before greeted
his hungry aze and he gorged himself
70 his hearts content.
After getting through six courses. and
doing justice to each, he boarded the
sampan going to shore, remarking, L

THE SITE INSPECTORS.
Admiral Very and Capt Slattery have
returned from Makapuu Point and gone
to town. Their inspection of the light
house site has caused them to form
favorable impression of same. 1t is
hard place to get to. but there is lots
of stone lying handy which can be
used for construction purposes.
THE LATEST WORD.
Aboard S. S Manchuria.
August "a. 1906 6 p. mo-.
The Manchuria quivering like hurt
thing, still lies on the reef Bereft OF
ali power OF response. she is buffeted
about at the will of the wind and the
waves.
fa;y Liz s
has had a good deal to say in the oper-
atoms so far carried on. He appears to
be in better touch with the situation
than almost anyone else aboard, and
his advice has been much sought.
BOILERS DISABLED.
The boilers of the liner are not mis- |
placed, but the steam pipe is broken in |
all save one
There is every reason to believe that |
the outer bottom is still in good shape |
and that the plates are probably un-
damaged
ORDERS TO GO EASY.
There is now no doubt that orders
have been received from the owners
and insurers not to do anything but
hold the ship until the arrival of Cap
tains Metcalf and Pillsbury. Should
anything happen to the vessel through |
acting without orders the insurance
companies concerned would most prob
ably be cleared.
WAIT" THE wATCHwORD.
Until Metcalf is ready to go to work
q strain will be kept on the Manchuria,
both by the RestoNr and her own
winch pulling on the anchors. The
result will probably be that little by
little she will be worked into deeper
water, thereby greatly facilitating Met
Calls operations.
So far all has been done that could
possibly have been done toward the
ships salvation. Metcalf will order
power from Honolulu and pull on her
for all he's worth, meanwhile tighten
ing her up.
The EIeu left with the tender Pioneer
in tow at $40 p. m. The tender had
aboard the Manchuria's deck-load Of
kerosene oil, about 25G0 cases.
Both these craft, captained by Cap
tains McAllister and Lane, are certain
Nv earning their money these days.
They will take another supply of fresh
water out to the Manchuria tomorrow.
ABOARD THE PIONEER.

that the latter has a fiat bottom, she
