WANTS TO BUY ECLIPSE
FOR USE IN PHILIPPINES

The S. S. Eclipse, the old inter
island steamer that has been lying
idle for so long, is now under negotia-
tion for sale to a business man named
Heilberg of the Philippine Islands.
President Kennedy, of the Inter-
Island Steamship Company, when
seen this morning, stated that there
was nothing definite to say on the
matter. 1t was true that the vessel
was under offer, but the negotiations
had not proceeded far enough to en-
able him to say whether they would
be successful or not, and he would
not be able to tell for few days
whether the sale would be consum-
mated.
Heilberg is a prominent lumber
man in the Philippines, and that he is
satisfied that the sale will be effected,
Notwithstanding the hitch tnat has
arisen owing to the inclusion of cer-
tain tools, is evidenced by the fact
that he is already preparing to en-
gage a crew. Offers have been made,
but so far the total number necessary
to take the little vessel on her long
journey has not been secured. There
is, however, every reason to suppose
that the full complement will be OBJ
tanned.
The little vessel is said to be admir-
ably suited for the purpose that He'll
berg has in mind, and he is set on
getting her if he can come to salts
factory terms. He does not antici.
pate that there will be any difficulty
about his being able to become the
owner of the boat Everything seems
to be in his favor and the trouble
that has arisen is not a very grave
one.
Kukui's Chief Mate Is Married.
Chief Mate H. Blackston, of the
light house tender Kukui has been
married in Canada, according to ad-
vices received here from him. The
letter states that he married Miss
Margaret Evelyn Pierce, daughter Of
a wealthy farmer Blackston is due
to arrive here on the Zealandia from
Vancouver on August IS and viii
spend his honeymoon in these islands.
He says that he is tired of plowiug
the seas, so he is going to plow the
land, or rather watch that others 90
it properly, for he has accepted the
sary that he was going to be mar
papa, and will take up his new duties
as soon as the honeymoon has been
disposed of. He says, according 10
the recipient of the letter, that he
will resign from the light house serI-
ice, so that he can settle down.
Blackston, it will no doubt be re-
called, went away from here some
weeks ago to Vancouver on holiday.
He denied more than seemed neces-
sary that he was going to be mar
ried, and refused to discuss the sub
iect with his fellow officers. His de
malls were so emphatic that no one
was astonished when the news came
to hand that he had married. Chief
Engineer Clark of the Kukui also be-
came benedick few DAYS ago, and
