succeed In recovering only the bullion
value, It will suffer a loss of many thou

SWAN THIRTY MILES.
Remarkable Escape From Death of a
Merry Hawaiian.

Honolulu Cor. Chicago News
Edward Duvauchelle of Molokai, is the
hero of most remarkable story of hui
man courage and endurance, and Of a
marvellous escape from death. The fact
that he was one of the team that repre-
scented the National Guard of Hawaii al
= the rifle shooting at Sea Grit N. j.. last
fall, will perhaps add some interest to the
tale of his thrilling experience.
Monday night. May %, Duvauehelle, who
is fisherman, living at Pukoo, on the
southern coast of Molokai, with three ma
tive Hawaiians as companions, left home
In a whale boat with load of fish for
Lahaina, about twelve miles away. They
arrived there safely, sold their fish, and
about o'clock started in a dead calm to
row back. A light breeze sprang up ami
they hoisted sail. making the sheet fast.
A sudden squall capszed them before they
could ease off the sheet. The boat became
waterlogged and began drifting out to sea.
They were at the time mile or two
from Kaanapali Landing, Maui. They
made float with four oars and the mast,
and with this to help them, two of the
natives at their own request, started to
swim ashore to get help.
After awaiting their return for three
hours in vain Duvauchelle and his re-
naming companion, Dan Pawaa, came to
the conclusion that the two men had
failed to reach the shore by swimming.
They made float of the boom and gaff
and all that was left of the boats gear
and started The current carried them
In the direction of Napil, and they wero
able to gradually make their way toward
the shore. When within half a mile of it
they discovered, to their CONSERVATION,
that the current was setting against
themn, and that in spite of all their eff
forts they were drifting farther away
this time In the direction of Molokai,
which seemed to them to be about ten
miles distant. They therefore made up
their minds to swim towards the shore of
that island. They seemed to be making
considerable Roadway, and by sunset
were, as near as could be judged by tine
line of the breakers ON the reef, four or
five miles from the shore.
They had moonlight until nearly mid
night, when the moon set. BY this time Dan
Pawaa was becoming exhausted and could
barely keep himself afoat. Thereupon Du-
vauchelle gave up the float to him entire
1y, placing him on the middle of it, and
he himself swan without the assisting
bouancy of the float. When about 500
yards from the shore OF little rocky in
