KEN|LWORTH's
RECORD VOYAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE
four-masted bark Kenilworth arrived
here yesterday from Philadelphia,
after voyage occupying 519 days.
Even for a sailing vessel this is easily
a record. Half way through the voy-
age. when Rio Janeiro had been reach
ed, Captain ]. \. Amesbury. with his
officers and crew. had grown so aged
by their protracted voyage that they
unanimously quit the ship. Captain
j. E. Sewell, with few choice and
brave spirits, took charge of the YES
sci afterward. but she became so Worn
out with simply rising up and down
with the tides at Rio that they also
left in disgust. 1t remained for the
indomitable spirit of Captain William
Taylor to urge her out into the open
sea again and after riding out a tur-
bulent tempest off the River Platte, TO
bring her safely to her anchorage at
this port.
How the Kenilworth left Philadel-
phia on August 10. 1906, and after be-
ing given up for lost, reached Monte
video and Rio Janeiro. via Cape Horn
that is she was driven backward and
up the coast in some erratic manner
and how after many hardships and in
juries suffered by the crew and dam
age and loss TO the ship, she eventual
ly lay for long being repaired at Rio
Janeiro is now ancient history. Ac-
cording to First officer Charles E. /
Anderson, after Captain Taylor took
charge of the Kenilwo0h and got her
out of Rio Janeiro she had barely be- I
gun her voyage down the coast before /
a terrific gale was met with. The 1
cargo of coal shifted and she stood on 4
her beam ends. For days she was .
constantly filed to the rail with water
and she had such a list that the caves
of her deckhouse amidships was run
ming under water and both the port
and starboard lifeboats were smashed
to ribbons. Anderson says that from
the Horn on they had smooth weather,
the KenilwOrth only occasionally bury
ing her jibboom in the trough of the
sea. After the Horn was passed all
was plain sailing and fairly good time
was made up the coast. Il look on the
vessel as a curio," said Anderson yes
terday. and after considering the ship
those who visited her concluded he
was nearly right. The Kenilworth
brought S4O0 tons of coal

MAUI WANTS To

Maui is ambitious for a visit from

from a couple OF the battleships with
this idea in mind a committee has
been appointed to see what can be
done towards getting some Of the vis-
iting men-of-war to drop their anchors
for day or 50 at Lahaina. the mem
bers OF the committee named being
Judge Kepoikai, Daniel II. Case and
James l. Coke, all OF Kahului.
This committee IS now in communi-
cation with Secretary Mott-Smith, who
will personally assist them and who
will bring the matter TO the attention
Of the Fleet Committee at it's meeting
tomorrow afternoon. 1t has been the
intention Of the committee, at any
rate, to add to it's members by the
inclusion of a number Of representa-
tive citizens from each Of the ISL
ands, so that it will be in all respects
representative of the whole Territory.
although the fleet is coming, so far
as known. to Honolulu alone.
Secretary Mott-Smith is hopeful OF
being able to induce a number Of the
visiting officers to visit the volcano.

FIRE CHIEF DENIES
ANY LOSS Of TIME.
(From Thursdays Advertiser)

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
"A very wrong impression, one un-
just to the Fire Department, was given
in the story of the fire at the Oahu
College printed yesterday morning, -
said Fire Chief Thurston yesterday.
"'The report was to the effect that Mr.
Kluegel notified the Central station and
that the Makiki branch department did
not turn out until | had driven oat
to that station and notified them. 1t
also stated that the Makiki men were
ten minutes in reaching the fire after
the alarm was given.
"NIr. Kluegel is mistaken in stating
that he notified the department. At
least the only notification we got WIS
that there was FIRE somewhere in
Punahou, apparently in the vicinity of
the school, and this message was given
us through the phone by a lady. ]

arrived the Makiki men had water on
the blaze and had it about in hand. -
The Makiki hremen. too, are rather
sore ut the statement that IL took them
ten minutes 10 reach the blaze on Tues
day morning and they all bear out she
statement Of their chief that they were
ON the ground and at work before he
got there from the Central station. On,
fireman was emphatic in his statement
that Il took the engines less than three
minutes 20 reach the burning pumping
plant, adding;
"lf people out this way would notify
Makih direct instead of tolcphouing
in TO the Central station IL would save
a little time. We don't have 90 be
told to go out when we get an alarm.

All roon, who has the reputation, OF

acquitted before Judge Andrade yes
tcrday on a charge OF stealing a mule

ory ot the prosecution was that All

a third party had sold him To a Portu-

by fire that soon destroyed the build

explosion at a great distance.
Frank Barwick, superintendent 4
the grounds, and Harry Wootten. the
pump engineer. with a gang OF men
had been engaged all through the
night in repairing break in the water
main between the pump and the tank.
Water from the leak had filed the wen
pit about half way up and the seepage
pump was at work to clear it. Mr..
Barwick was just going 70 enter the
pit when the explosion came
There was insurance OF $1,000 on the
building with the Hawaiian Trust Co.
This covers the loss and the only harm
to the college is the suspension OF its
own water service, but as connection

Assistant Chief Deering is quoted as
saying that the fire department was
notified at 4:45 o'clock The lady who
telephoned was living in the vicinity
of the pumping station and had her
attention attracted to the fire by the
explosion. She did not know where
the fire was beyond that it was some

expected at Francisco landed in the
safe harbor of Yerba Buena, thinking
from the written description that they
were at their destination, unloaded
their cargo and then the mistake was
discovered.
''The Yerba Buena citizens at once
saw their advantage and called their

then changed to 'Benicia. DR.. Semple
felt so discouraged at this that in 1850
he and his family moved to the beau

brother Colonel Semple laid out the

river, one of the most attractive sites
in the Valley

Both leadies are in love with Ha-

will certainly have to jog around to
