BETTING EVIL

as you can find anywhere else-and it
was not baseball gambling either.

THE GOAT
Was FR|SKY
From Mondays Advertiser,


A black negro, white goat and a
jag. en!ivened the Sabbath quietness
Of Fort street, yesterday afternoon,
considerably.
Coon turned from Hotel to Fort
street about $50 with the goat In tow,
chain being the connecting link.
Goat was the billy kind with flow
ing beard.
Passing a drug store the goat butted
in--probably wanted to Investigate the
stock of goats lymph.
Coon got mad and yanked the beast
off his feet.
A little further down the street goat
had occasion to pass two timorous
native maidens. out of sheer light
heartedness he capered some. Girls
screamed like anything and goat play
ed ring a-round-of-roses with them.
He was eventually disentangled and
yanked several yards farther. Then
he baked and went down on his
knees.
Come on you Billy" yelled his
owner. billy, however, refused to
bulge.
Coon then basted him a few with
the chain and goat got up with a
start, ducked between his master 8
legs and scampered along King street.
Come back you Billy" shouted the
negro. "Ah. sure nevah did see such
an ornery ungrateful critter in all my
born days" And the goat kept right
along.
He turned up Bethel street and coon
thought he had him but goat won out
on the move.
''Youse sure heading for de slotter-
house, Mistah Goat" exclaimed the in
ebriated black. DE ideah for n goat
to run away from nice. good mastah
like me. You'll be offul sorry afore
youse finished, Billy"
The goat was finally captured by
passerby putting his foot on the chain
and keeping 1t there.
The coon then proceeded to boot the
poor goat numerically until remon-
strated with by onlookers.
The last seen of the goat, he was
being dragged along King street in
Kakaako direction and the coon was
saying:
'Wait till l get you home, Mistah
Goat, where there amt no pleecemen;
then you'll find out"

TALES Of
THE DEEP

the Older kamaanas through the re-
production of the details of the wreck
of the gunboat Saginaw on Ocean
Island. In 1870. published in this paper

attention along the waterfront. Yes
terday the drift Of conversation was
along the matter OF wrecks, founder

fires. The wreck Of the ship Dunotta,
Castle was especially recalled by the
story of the Saginaw disaster
The Dunottar Castle story is strange

CURED in 1873 and. as recalled by Cap
tain Campbell. was as follows:
The ship. driven before a gale. piled
up on the coral reef on Ocean Island,
where. eight years before, the Saginaw
had struck. The crew reached the land
in safety. their ships boat being
thrown up on the beach uninjured. AS
was the case with the Saginaw, 1t was
resolved to despatch the small boat for
help. the island being out of the course
of passing vessels and the supply of
food and water which could be secured
from the wrecked ship being scanty.
A crew was selected for the forlorn
hope under the command of the cap
tain, and the course of the little open
boat was set for the Island of Kauai,
the nearest point from which help
could be secured. The trials under
gone by the members of the boat crew
from the Saginaw were experienced by
those toiling at the oars to bring sue
cor for their comrades of the Dunot,
tar, but while the Saginaw men reached
Kauai in thirty-one days, only one man
surviving the hardships of the trip, the
Dunottar crew tossed for fifty-two
days at the mercy of the elements, but
arrived safely with all hands. BY a
most striking coincidence. their little
boat touched the shores of Kauai at a
point only four miles distant from the
place where the bodies of the Saginaw
seamen and the only survivor had been
washed ashore eight years before.
