DAYS ago at Honolulu. Came here from
Yokohama in ship Atlas. Articles he
signed were the same as those of pre-
vious witnesses. Didn't exactly desert
work on board was harder than he could
stand and the food was poor-only
slices of bread and boiled beans. Ex-
pected to stay in this country. Be-
tween leaving ship and joining the
Kauai was staying at a house in Liliha
street. Had never gone before an i'm
migration officer to get permission TO
stay in this country.
First ne knew there was a stowaway
aboard the Atlas was when Sakai told
him at a house in River street here be-
fore he deserted the ship. Down below
one day, from No. 8 hatch, witness saw
wicker valise open. Saw nothing in
the valise, but some working clothes
were scattered around it. Did not
touch either the valise or the clothing.
When he went to look for the things in
the afternoon they were all gone.
Never saw a stowaway aboard ship.
Did not know if anybody else ever saw
the valise and clothes.
There was a man named Haseu in
same watch as witness. (Haseu is the
witness who, the first day, told of the
throwing overheard of a stowaway s
body.) Haseu was not with him on the
night in question. His place was either
at the stern watching or at the fore
castle head watching. Saw Kawabata, |
the chief boatswain, throwing letters |
or papers or other documents overheard |
1t was on board in port, when only four
of them were working, he saw Kawa
bata rolling up papers and throwing
them overheard. He was fifty or sixty
he thought. Had no talk with Kawa-
bata about his action. Could not say if
it was usual for japanese to throw
away letters. IF he had letter from
it up and throw it away. 1t was the
same day and about the same hour that
he saw the valise and clothes when
threw the letters overheard.
|. Ito was another man from Wanna
nalo, where he had lived since July Is
last, having deserted from the Atlas
He did not intend to 60 back to the
ship. Went to Waimanalo because he
was afraid he might be caught for de-
serting. Never went before an immi-
grafton officer for permission to land.
First heard about a stowaway aboard
he Atlas at Waimanalo, where a num-
Der of men from the ship were talking
about the matter. Never heard while (:

anding here without permission, knew
absolutely nothing about the stowaway {
