(Special to Bulletin,)


ceeded in landing at Kahakuloa.
Maui. cargo of lumber belonging
to Mrs. Kanekapolei Ekela of Kaha-
kuloa. This cargo has become his
toric by the fact that the lumber
was bought In Honolulu last Octo
her and that the steamer Mikahala
made two unsuccessful trips to ka-
hakuloa with the lumber and both
times the lumber was taken back
to Honolulu. At one time II was
landed at Honolua, nearly ten miles
from Kahakuloa. Two months ago
negotiations were again opened with
the lumber people and with the In
ter-lsland steamship company's Office
in Honolulu.
After much correspondence with
the main Office and personal appeal
to Captain Bennett, the authorities
finally permitted to have the lumber
brought by the Claudine to be land
ed on the homeward trip. On the
first trip the weather WAS so rough
that although two canoes were out
at sea waiting for the steamer, as
arranged, to tow the lumber ashore,
the captain did not think 1t wise to
| land the cargo, and so on the fol-
lowing trip, last Wednesday even
ing, April 6, at about 6 o'clock. the
| Claudine arrived off Kahakuloa on
her way to Honolulu, and the two
canoes were on hand. The lumber
was successfully low cred in RATS and
taken ashore by the natives In ca
noes, and the cargo got ashore safe
ly and In good condition before
O'Clock that night.
The natives of the little village
of Kahakuloa were so happy that
they concentrated the event with
a luau, and remembered Captain
Bennett of the Claudine, Vice-Presi-
dent Mclean of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company and
President f. ]. Lowrey of Levers a.
Cooke for the part they took In try
ing their best to have the lumber
landed at its destination.
Confirmation Service.
His Lordship Bishop II. b. Res
tarick of Honolulu preached at the
Church of the Good Shepherd in
Waikiki last Sunday to a very large
congregation. Three young people
were confirmed by the bishop
Jackie Bal and Misses Mary Bal and
Mary Hart. The bishop preached a
very able sermon. He commended
the congregation and all those who
helped on Easter Day towards the
new church fund. The choir of the
church rendered again the Easter
anthems with great effect.
Child Drowned.
A three-year-old native child was
drowned at Puuohala, Wailuku, last
Saturday evening. Another native
lad brought the sad news to Wal
luku and stated In elegant Hawaiian
that the mother 80 loved "dago red
that she forgot all about her child
and when she got up from her
drunken stupor her child was al
ready dead several hours.

Rinsoburo kuwahara, the Japan
ese tinsmith of Wailuku who stabbed
and killed his own brother some time
ago, was convicted of murder In the

!esday evening. The case was be-
gun before Judge S. b. Kingsbury on

ney ID. H. Case represented the pros
ecutiOn, while Attorney Douthitt
esppused the cause of the defendant
Mr.. Douthitt's argument in behalf
of his client last Wednesday morn
ing Is said by those who heard hin

pathetic appeals ever delivered be
