Sailor Lost at Sea.

SAILOR Lest at Sea.
Captain johnson of the Hilonian
wirelessed in yesterday not long after
his vessel sailed that a sailor had
been lost overheard. Who the man
was or how the accident occurred was
not stated in the aerogram sent in to
the agents here. Captain Johnson
stated that he stopped the ship and
did everything in his power to locate
the man as soon as the alarm was
given, but no trace of the unfortunate
victim was found. From the sailors
on board the Hilonian, Captain John
son elected the information that the
man who disappeared was not able to
swim
1t was only a short time ago that
the Alameda of the Oceanic line ar
rived here and reported the strange
disappearance of a boatswain at sea.
Tha. case appeared to be one of sui
eide. The present case, however,
seems, from the wireless information
which has been received, to have been
pure and simple accident the de-
tails of which may never be learned
When the HiIonian sailed for the
Coast yesterday morning she had on
a gala dress. Besides the Shriners'
flag, which she was flying, the Hilo-
MAN was decorated with a profusion
of green emblems and flags In honor
of the departure of Tom McTighe, the
Irish Consul
Dirigo Is Unloading.
The fine big ship Dirigo yesterday
presented little of the trim appearance
which she had when she arrived here
last Saturday, for the donkey engines
are chugging the coal out of her hold
and those pretty white decks are white
no longer. A fine '.snow'i of coa1-dust
now covers the Dirigo, and probably
viii until the discharging of her cargo
is completed. Two engines are at work
on the cargo, lifting big buckets full
of the stuff out of the hold and dump
ing them into the receiver on the
wharf, under which the carts back and
get their loads.
Lurline Friday Noon.
According to a wireless received
here yesterday morning by the agents
of the vessel, the Matson steamer Lur-
line will arrive here on Friday about
noon. The message was as follows:
'.1120 miles Off Will arrive about Fri
day noon. Have about 1000 tons cargo
for Honolulu and Wells-Fargo Express
matter Also seventeen mules for Ho-
nolulu Twenty-Five passengers OH
board, but no mail. Will arrive about
Friday noon
New Inter Island Steamer
Rumor says that the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company will short
ly place an order for new passen-
ger and freight steamer to be of prac-
tically the same build as the. Maui. No.
definite decision has as yet been
reached, but the officials of the COM
pany have been considering the mat
ter for some time, and are said to be
in favor of building another steamer
Although the vessel which it is pro-
posed to construct will be along the
same lines as the Maui, she will ac-
commodate considerably more passen-
gers, according to the plans under
consideration at present.
