The report was tabled to be consid-
cred with the bill.

sisal, pineapple, castor oil and other

heavy weather, leaving Honolulu with
heavy southerly swells running. The
protection afforded by the Island OF
Lanai probably rendered the water
about the Loeb Carve smooth.
1t was ascertained that both the s.
S. Kinau and the S. S. Mauna Loa
had had lines on the wreck, but it was
necessary that they hurry away about
their business and after they had pull
ed little Tuesday night at high water
and found the pulling useless they
cast adrift and left the Loeb Carve.
When the Loeb Carve struck she
bumped twice on the sand and then
jolted with great force on the coral
There was hurricane behind her at
the time and when she stopped her
sails We're blown to shreds
Captain Richie, in the excitement
of the moment and while lending a
hand with the sailors, broke a finger
the nail being torn out. Soon after.
ward the Captains boat was lowered
away and the captain, first Ger and
seven men started in the direction OF
Kaunakakai, thinking they were head
ing for Honolulu. They were some
what surprised to find that they had
gone so far out of the correct reckon
ing as to have hit the wrong island
incidentally the captain was looking
for medical attention, since his finger
panied him considerably and he was
also suffering with heart trouble.
The captains wife and daughter
later went ashore and spent Monday
night with the McCorristons at Ka-
malo.
The McCorristons were the first to
learn of the Loeb Garve's predicament
tIa in
formation was finally sent to Homo
lulu. The S. S. Iwalani was notified
through them and she came from
Lahaina to the rescue, picking up the
captains boat on its return from Kau-
nakakai. The Iwalani, however, was
unable to render any assistance to the
Loeb Carve, though she pulled her
prettiest.
Had there been a wireless telegraph
station in operation at Kamalo the
news of the stranding of the nitrate
ship would not have been two days late
i'm reaching those interested in Homo
lulu. There was a wireless station al
Kamalo and the pole is still standing
but the legislature has not been good
enough to subsidize the wireless en-

The Loeb Carve might have been
pounded to pieces and scattered on the
beach before anybody even knew she
was ashore If it had not been for the
fact that Mrs. d. McCOrriston and heI
son, Hughy were watching the queer
movements of the vessel from the We
randa of their house at Kamalo.
Eddie McCorriston, i'm this city, this
morning received a letter from his
mother in which is related how the
Loeb Carve on Monday morning seem
ed to be dangerously close in and how
they saw her bump, bump again and
then settle hard ahead and with the
sails ripping out of her.
Conradt, had his gasoline launch
been in commission, would haves car
