THE HAWAII, PILIKIA SHIP, STILL
SUPPLYING TALES Of WOE

The barkentine Hawaii will soon
be known as the pilikia ship, for ever
since her arrival here she has made
trouble. There has been dissension
among the crew themselves, against
the captain, and now the cook has
been pinched on a charge of having
stabbed a soldier on Saturday. Most
OF the crew are around town enjoy
ing themselves in their own particular
ways
The second mate and the carpenter.
however, are anxious to get away to
the Coast, and have resolved to aban-
don all idea of bringing a charge
against the captain Of the boat for
not having had side lights on the voy,
age to the port, as they can not get
the crew together long enough to
swear to the complaint.
They are in trouble now, as they
can not get away from here, unless,
Of course, they go first-class, and
they do not feel inclined to do
This, The carpenter stated yesterday
that he would have to pay out half
OF his wages to get away. If he re-
solved to go steerage, he would have
to go in quarantine for five days, and
that would mean that he could not
get away by the Sierra leaving on the
10th nor by the Honolulan leaving on
the 18th. The first boat, therefore,
would be the Mongolia, due to leave
on the goth instant.
They cannot get the ship, as there
is nothing going. They can not get
shore work. If they go steerage they
have to let it be understood that they
would lake ch'era with them, but if
they went saloon, there would be no
danger from infection.
Tley think that they are up against
it all along, for when they went to the
collector of the port, they ailege that
&c told them that he did not suppose
they would have much chance of sue
cee1ing in their charge against the
captain for not burning sidelights at
night, as after having had trouble with
the master, the law would 'look upon
them with unfavorable eyes,"
The carpenter says that he retorted
that he sh' uld have his rights just as
ell as the captain. He had kept his
end OF be agreement, but the skipper
lad not kept his. He did not think
that it was dignifed to work alongside
Of Japanese in the hold of the vessel
and be bOssed by Hawaiian. He had
never done 3uch things, and he did not
inteud to do Il now.
AT this iuncture the carpenter ~
legged that Mr.. Stackable asked hiA
did he consider that he was too good
to work with Fawaiians and Japanese.
The carpenter said that he answered
in the Affirmative, and added that MIR.
Stackable might not consider himself
above Japanese and Hawaiians, but lie
the carpenter looked down on the
races named as his interiors.
Then Mr.. Stackable told them 10
lodge their complaints in writing, ana
,hey would lave attention. This they
intended to GO, but as stated, they
could not find enough of their mec Ut
one time to get them to sign the com
plant
Koreans. Working Well.
The Korean dock laborers who
took the place of striking Japanese
laborers on the railroad wharf are
now working well together, and are
improving each day. OF course, thev
have not got into the swing of things
thoroughly yet, but it is anticipated
that they will soon be IN to the
standard of the Japanese. At all
events the work is going along
smoothly, and there should be no
need to return to Japanese labor.

San Francisco, is due to leave to-
