The American barkentine Irmgard
arrived off port Tuesday night and
anchored in seven fathoms of water
between the bell buoy and the outer
buoy at $3.50 o'clock at night. She was
sixteen days and fourteen hours from
port to port, and was the third to ar
rive of the four vessels which left San
Francisco together for the islands. on
Sunday, January IL.
II am very well satisfied" said
Captain. Christiansen yesterday, "all
things considered. The Irmgard which
has not been in dry dock for a year
was racing with vessels just off the
drydock. She had a deck cargo of
emules worth $4,000 which had to be
considered, while the vessels that beat
me in came practically in ballast. We
met heavy seas, head winds, and
either Gains or almost hurricanes, all
of which required that consideration
should be given the livestock. And
though my mainsail carried away
twice in my efforts to hold on. the
livestock arrived here in better condi-
ton than it left San Francisco, and
the veterinary surgeon says that it ar
rived in better condition than any
other consignment of livestock by a
sailing vessel ever did. I was in sight
of Hawaii last Sunday morning. and
drifted all day in a calm, making only
ninety miles the whole day.
1T understand that the master of the
ship Fort George says he met with fine
weather all the way down. He must
have been the favorite of Heaven, for
/ am sure the rest of us did not. On
the Monday morning after we started,
the other three vessels were ahead of
me, and to the westward of me. /
was the farthest to the south, having
stood well to the south in order to get
into good weather at this time of year

THE LORD STANLEY.

There seems to be little uncertainty
as to when the British S. S. Lord Stan
ley may be expected to arrive here.
The Merchants Exchange has received
advices that she sailed from New
castle, New South Wales, January 10
and so may be expected at any time
This information has been corroborat-
ed on further inquiry by the Mer-
chants Excange. On the other hand,
r. H. Davies & Co. received advices
day before yesterday that she had sail
ed January 20, which was the time she
was expected to sail, and hence could
not be expected much before February
TO- The vessel herself is consigned to
T. II. Davies & Co. and her cargo of
about 5000 tons of coal is consigned
to the Inter Island Steam Navigation
Company.

THE SUGAR FLEET.

Three OF the Cape Horn fleet of su-
gar vessels have already arrived, and it
will not be long before part of the
1905 crop OF sugar is on ats way 10
the Atlantic seaboard by that route.
The Erskine NJ Phelps which arrived
in port at kahului on Sunday morning,
as soon as she is discharged of her
ballast, Whatever it is, will begin load
ing sugar for Philadelphia. She will
take sugar from Wailuku plantation,
from Kihei, Hawaiian Commercial & SUI
gar, and from Maui Agricultural. The
ship Fort George which arrived from
San Francisco on Monday, has about
900 tons Of coal. When this is discharg-
ed she will begin loading sugar for
New York. The bark Nuuanu, too,
which arrived from New York short
time ago and is now discharging will
load sugar for New York All the SUI
gar factors win be represented in the
cargoes of these two vessels. The
next vessels of the Cape Horn feet ex-
peeted to arrive are the ship Edward
Sewall, which sailed from Baltimore
October 6, and the ship Astral which
sailed from Norfolk October I. Either
or both of these vessels ought to ar
rive any time after two weeks now.
The fve-lnasted schooner William d.
Marston. Captain Peabody, expects te
begin taking sugar this morning at the
Railroad wharf. She win probably re-
ceive sugar all day today and possibly
a part of tomorrow, and theft she viii
have to wait until the Nebraskan and
the Mexican are loaded, which viii
be week or more, so that she is hard
| ly likely to get away for couple OF
weeks vet.

CAPTAINS HEENEY AND WALTON


Captains Heeney and Walton, Uni
ted States Inspectors of Steam Hulls
and Boilers, for the District of Alaska,
departed yesterday by the Alameda,
after nearly three months in the Is
lands During that time they have in
spected all the Island craft both al
this port and at Kahului and Hilo
and issued licenses for them in accord
ance with the results of their inspec-
ton. They have examined large
number of mariners of various
branches of the service, engineers
masters and mates. and issued certifi-
Gates accordingly.
One of the most important parts OF
their work here has been in inaugural
ing the new law in regard to the Ii.
by gasoline engines or other similar
motive power. With the growth OF
vessels propelled by gasoline engines
the laws and the regulations have
gradually brought them within their
| scope, applying measures of safety and
| protection to the public in regard tt
them, equivalent to those applied II
| the case OF steam vessels.
When these officials came last Nov
ember they opened an office in the
Brewer building. This office they clos
ed day before Yesterday hacking 1Ir
/ all their records and taking them witt
them.
/ According to. Captain Walton IT viii
not be very long before there viii be
inspectors of Steam Hulls and Boilers
for these Islands. The amount Of work
required of such officials in the Terri
| tory is such that it will be necessary
| to appoint them.

Why Pharaoh Hardened his Heart. q

To German science belongs the
credit of explaining what hitherto has
been the insIplicable secret Of the in
consistent conduct Of Pharaoh-the
Pharaoh of the Exodus. According
to the scriptural phrase, "ths Lord
(Pharaoh) hardened his heart" and
then proceeded to indulge in conduct
which was not merely inconsistent
With his previous treatment Of the
Jews, but was surprising to 3 degree
in a great monarch such as this King
Of the Egyptians undoubtedly must
have bsen.
Despite the recent suggestion that
Site IL was the Pharaoh of Exodus,
the prspOndsrancS Of archaeological
opinion is that Professor Flinders-Pe-
tris sufficiently proved that it was
NJ snephtSh II whom Moses had to
deal with. Now the mummi6ed re-
mains of Msnsphtsh II rspsSs in
Cairo, and there they have been mi
nutsly examined by q German Ssvant
who is able to state, a. result Of
his studies, that Menephtah II was
about go years old when be died, in
1915 B. c.. F.; that he was 5 feet, 81
inches in stature, and that he was
rather stout of build and bald save
for = very few gray hairs.
Moreover, according to our Ger
man friend, Msnsphtah'S teeth were
full Of cavities, in which the exposed
nerves must have throbbed in such
fashion a. would throw their owner
into fits of violent temper. As
Shakespeare sGid long afterward,
"Thsrs was never yet philosopher
who could endure the too:hAchs pa.
tiently."
The procession of cruelty, fear
rage, repentance and despair in the
Mosaic account is not incomprehensi
bic in an sutOcrHt suffering from gou
and toothashe.

The next morning as he Was seated
at his writing table in the cabin, max

sound as of someone running. He
went to the door and saw ayoung
