BOILED COFFEE IN
KILAUEA LAVA CRACK

The Portland Journal of January 1.
has the following: Miss Katherine Jen-
ming of Portland writes to friends from
Volcano House. Kilauea, Hawaii:
I'VE have the volcano in sight ali
day, as it is just below us, dis
lance of 400 feet. The best time to
visit this active Halemaumau-hous
Of fre--is at night, because far be-
low, a distance of 600 feet or more.
can be seen the red-hot lava. 1t looks
like the hole of hot, burning furnace
and shoots up sprays of hot lava like
a f1owerpot in a fireworks piece.
Our first expedition was in the af-
ternoon of December 90, leaving the
hotel at p. m. and arriving at the
crater at D. m. We were all on
horseback, astride, and passed over
black lava with large cracks and
crevices in it through winch smoke
and hot steam were rising. To let You
know how hot the steam was, we
cooked coffee and scorched postal
cards over the cracks called the DeViPs
Kitchen, which is but a short distance
from the active volcano. That even
ing the wind blew the smoke so that
we were unable TO see fire, but instead
we saw what is called the SUM rain
bow-a beautiful white rainbow on the
black sky. 1t formed the entire arch.
The next expedition was planned
for New Years eve. We left a 10 p
m, reaching the brink of the crater
little before midnight. The mist of
steam cleared and We beheld far be-
low a fountain of fire which lastec
about 10 minutes. The woncer or won,
ders had been seen and We did not
mind in the least the dreary home
ward journey through the pouring
rain"

the shippers of pines are heavy. A
shipment made, last month on the So
roma was d total loss, the fruit cook
ing between here and San Francisco,
and the same fate overlook a recent
shipment on the Mongolia, while other
losses of % and 80 per cent. are not
uncommon. These result from close
rooms from which the hot air can not

proper facilities for caring for fruit

HAHDCAR FOR

Many of the street car men are try
ing to build homes for their families
anG in order to do so have selected
property on the outskirts OF the city
where real estate is cheaper. Strange
as it may seem. these men, who carry
nearly all Honolulu every day on the
electric cars, are compelled. after the
service is pau for the night, to walk
horne, distance in many Instances OF
from three to four miles.
A number of these men reside in the
kaimuki section. In order to cut
down the time of their long walk. thal
they may reach home earlier and ger
the sleep that they need. they have
combined. and having gained the con-
sent Of Manager Ballentyne, they may
purchase a handcar
The night men could work the car
out on the King street line to Kai-
nnuki, using hand power, and leave the
car at the terminus overnight In the
morning the day-shift men. residing ii
that section, can bring the car to town.

FULLERTON'S MISHAP
On February the tow-line between
the Argyll and the Fullerton parted.
There was a terrific gale on at the
time, and the steamer was rolling and
plunging, dipping her bow under to the
seas. The vessels drifted apart and
for thirty hours were not in sight of
each other.
Then, to make matters worse, the top
of the rudder of the barkentine twist
ed off and she was practically helpless.
Next, one of the mizzen sails was
blown out. The rudder had to be fix
ed. but the Fullerton was not pro-
vided with extra materials for this
purpose.
Captain McKechnie decided to rig
the rudder with chains passing over
the stern of the boat to the outer ends
of the after railing. The chains must
be fastened to rings on the rudder di-
to risk his life.

A RISKY JOB.

The captain offered $50 to the man
who would perform this risky bit of
work, and Seaman Andrew Nelson
around the stern of the boat, the two
ends being held on both sides of the
vessel. Nelson was lowered over the
stern in a boatswain's chair and in
side the rope. AS he was lowered the
guard rope was Drawn IL and in this
manner he was enabled 70 get under
the stern and in contact with the
rudder
This feat was performed at the
height of the gale and the plucky sea
man was often buried under the seas
as the stern was submerged There
was five hours work all told in at
taching the chains. Lastly, the boom
for the mainstaysail was lowered from
the foremost and this was rugged over
the deck near the wheel, and by a
system of lines the captain was en-
abled to work his rudder by using the
windlass.
After this work was completed, the
Fullerton was guided and set on her
course. The new steering rig worked
well, and in time the Argyll and the
Fullerton found each other again. Sew
eral hours were consumed in getting a
new hawser aboard
ARGYLL IN PLIGHT.
During this time the Argyll was hav-
ing a fight for existence. She rolled
heavily and lastly the captain gave
orders to throw overheard a part Of
the cargo.
You ought to have seen that steam
ship after she turned the oil over
board" said Captain McKechnie of the
Fullerton. She was smeared from
bow to stern with the stuff. and you
know what crude oil is"
The Argyll was very black with
CT ude oil when she came in. althoug /,
most of it was taken off before the
vessel reached port by the use of
gasoline, but her sides showed where
the sticky stuff had taken hold.
CUT OUT KIHEI.
After getting Strengthened out the
vessels sailed direct for Honolulu, as
has been said. Captain Mckechnie
says that he Will return to Port Har-
ford with his jury-rudder. and will
make necessary repairs on the Coast.
The Fullerton has 5000 barrels of
Gil. and the Argyll brings about %, 00o
barrels.

Chinese Can't Buy Land,

One Of the problems facing the re-

bay is the sheltering of the Chinese
Many Of them arc destitute. It has
long been a question in San Francisco
what should be done with Chinatown,
and moving the Chinese in the direc-
ton of Colma has been agitated. Now
they are without homes and without
prospects Of securing any. They can
get no land. Unless the government
undertakes their relief they are in
grave danger. Those who haze money
cannot purchase property, as no one
will sell to them. Few, however, even
of the richest merchants in Chinatown
saved anything Of value. for their
wealth was invested in the Oriental
village which had sprung up in the
heart of the area burned.

Five Hundred Bodies Buried.

The total number of bodies recov-

200. No complete record can be had at
this time. as many bodies have been
buried without permits from the coro-

searchers of the coroner's and the

more than 20 bodies Sunday. They
were buried Immediately. 1t Is impos-
