The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-02-26


Among the many and diverse conse-
quences of the Panama sanal is the
possible elucidation of an ocean mys-
terry that for more than half a cen
fury has baffled mariners and those
who follow marine affairs. Officials
of the photographic office of the Navy
Department in this city are among
those whose attention has been per
sistently called to the reported exis-
tence of land in vast uncharted re-
gion of the Pacific ocean. which has
hitherto been out of the track of YES
sells, but khich, upon. the opening of
the canal, will become one of the
principle waterways of commerce.
So important has the thorough ex-
ploration of this practically unknown
area of some 10000 square miles been
considered by some Navy Department
officials that Commander A. G. Winter
halter, until lately in charge of the
! ny ulOSl oPhlC OAlCS SApISSSeu ulLl-
self as in favor of sending a naval
vessel to execute the task in a
thorough and efficient manner, so as
to clear up the rumors regarding the
mysterious islands. Upon these same
rumors hang possible events which, in
the way OF ocean romances, would
equal or surpass anything of the kind
hitherto known, not excepting the IA
nous incident of the mutineers of the
British ship Bounty, who formed an
isolated and unique community upon
an island of the South Pacific. 1t IS
believed by some that there may pc
discovered upon one or more Islands
of the unknown region, survivors OF
at least two ships crews, mysterious
ly lost, among one of which was Philip
Nolan, said 10 be the original of Ed
ward Everett Hale's MAN Without a
Country"
The portion of ocean in which the
mysterious islands may exist is in
the North Pacific, about 1000 to 1900
miles east-southeast from Hawaii,
somewhere between the meridians OF
1873 and 1873 degrees of longitude west
from Greenwich, and included within
the 18th and goth parallels of north
latitude, substantially in a direct line
between the port of Hilo, on the
Island of Hawaii, and the Bay of
Panama-nearly $500 miles distant.
The area of this uncharted portion
of the sea is between 10000 and 10000
square miles. During the past eighty
years persistent reports of islands
said to have been oberved herein have
come from navigators, but, up to the
! present, none Of these reports have
been verified. Yet evidence exists
that seems to point to the existence OF
an island or islands somewhere which
in the mysterious region. The cruise
OF the united States ship Tacoma, un-
dertaken at the instance of the hydro
graphic office, in May, 1904, negatively
and conclusively disposed of half a
dozen or more reported islands, as
charted in certain defined positions,
and definitively eliminated from furth-
er consideration of doubtful reports
an area of about 10000 square miles,
leaving a still questionable region OF
over three times that space open to
further search.
The complete survey of this region
may possibly clear up the mystery of
the loss of Levant, a United States
sloop-of-war which disappeared in
1860, numbering among those on
board Nolan, the "Man Without a
Country" The Levant sailed from
Hilo, Hawaii, for Panama. It is sur

of the undiscovered islands, an in
ferance borne out by a remarkable bit
of evidence in the shape OF certain por-
lions of wrecKage, identified as having
belonged to the Ieyant, which were
washed ashore OK tne Hawaiian coast.
wreckage conclusively demonstrated to
naval experts that the Levant was
broken to pieces on a reef or island
somewhere in her sailing track be-
tween Hilo and Panama.
The official records o. the Navy De-
partment show that when the Levant
sailed from Hilo her commander, Will
liam e. Hunt, intended 60 take the
northern course, heading eastward to-
ward the coast or California rather
than southwark toward the equator,
and thus probably traversing the very
region in which the questionable
islands are supposed to be situated.
Within the nine months after her de-
parture a drifting spar and a portion
of a lower yard wer found on the
shore of Hawaii, about seventy-tive
miles south Of Hiilo. This spar was
examined and identified as the main
mast of the Levant by three witnesses,
one of whom was the pilot who had
taken out the Levant from the port OF
Hilo and who knew the dimensions Of
her spars.
1t has been currently believed that
the Levant capsized or foundered in
some tidal wave OF overwhelming
sea, but lit is pointed out by nevol
experts that in such an event her
mainmast, would, in all likelihood,
have gone to the bottom with the
ship, whereas the mainmast found on
the shore of Hawaii indicated that
it was torn out of the vessel when
broken TO pieces ON a reef. Certain
sketches, carefully made a short thine
after the mast came ashore, show it to
have been seventy-three feet long,
entire from heel to top, not broken
off, as it would have been if the ship
had been dismasted in a storm at sea,
but complete, showing in detail the
framing of the mast at the heel OF
step, indicating that the vessel from
which it came had not foundered ana
had not been dismasted at sea, but
must have been broken to pieces on
reef, and that the unbroken mast
must thereafter have been detached
and drifted away with the wreckags
of the lower yard that was FOUND at
the same place ON the south shore OF
Hawaii.
Subsequent investigations have
shown that il the Levant was wrecked
on reef within the mysterious region,
and afterward broken to pieces in
heavy surf, the trend and rapidity of
the current would have carried the
Wreckage to the shore where it was
found. 1t is held highly reasonable to
suppose that if the Levant, sailing in
the night with a smooth sea, struck
upon the reef or an ordinary coral
island, especially at high tide, ner
ships company might possibly have
landed without the loss of a single
life. In this event there would have
been many, and still might be some,
survivors whose chances of living un-
til now on fairly habitable ana
healthful island might, perhaps, have
been far more favorable than else
where, exposed as they would have
been not only to the constant risks
of life under existing conditions OF
modern civilization, but also to the
hazards of war, which was their vo-
cation, and in which they would have
