BATTERED BARKENTINE
BRINGS TALE OF STORM
AMID SOUTHERN ISLES

With both anchors gone, part of her
rudder and shoe carried away and with
bulwark stanchions sprung, to say moth
ing of losing mainsail and main-stay-
sail as well as smaller pieces of canvas,
and making water at the rate of two
inches per hour some of the time, the
American barkentine s. n. Castle,
which came inside the harbor at half
past eight O'Clock yesterday morning
had an eventful trip since she left San
Francisco last November for islands in
the South Pacific. The Castle arrived
here in distress, bringing 4s3 tons Of
phosphate rock from Makatea, and hav-
ing on board 400 sacks of copra for
San Francisco.
The barkentine sailed from the Gold
en- Gate November 80 with a crew of
six men forward, cook and cabin boy,

NOT GUILTY OF
Staying OFFICERS

LIHUE, Kauai, March 23.-Follow.
ing the instructions of the court the
jury which was trying fourteen Jap
anese, accused of having murdered a
liquor detective here some weeks ago,
today brought in a verdict of not guilty
in all the cases.
The directed verdict came when
County Attorney Kaeo declared himself
unable to file bill of particulars, de-
manded by Attorney Prosser of Kin.
ney, Prosser, Anderson & Marx, the
Honolulu attorneys engaged to defend
the japanese. Kaeo said he had not
sufficient evidence against any single
one of the accused to warrant proceed
ing with the case.
Following the verdict it was an.
nounced here that the board of super.
visors will begin an investigation of
the case. County Attorney Kaeo is ae.
cused of incompetence, and his ability
is to be made the subject of an in.
vestigation. The trial is said to have
cost the county in the neighborhood of
$4700.
Judge Robinson, of the Honolulu cir
cult court, tried the cases. He was
sent here by the chief justice to take
the place of Judge Hardy, who was
taken i'll just before the trial began.
Letters from Kauai announce that
there is a good deal of feeling against
Attorney Kaeo. 1t is asserted openly
that he was not able to handle the case
against the Japanese and should be i'm
peaehed. 1t is also asserted that the
condition Of affairs in the Waimea
district of the Garden Island, is grave,
and there is great deal of lawlessn ess
unrebuked in that section.

barkentine were filed from the water
caught in the downpour. On the fol-
lowing day the wind blew from every
point of the compass while rain fell in
great quantities. February the crew
had to reef down and it was SO thick
that no sights could be taken, and on
that day and following days they en-
countered the same heavy seas and tor
rental rains.
Fanning Sighted.
1t was not until February ID that
Tanning Island was sighted and the
barkentine had hard time in getting
in. Entering the passage in a heavy
wind the vessel struck bottom after the
anchor had been let go, and then drift
ed broadside on to the peach. The tide
swept her off again and when the
pumps were sounded it was found that
there were nine and one-half inches of
water in her hold.
They made the lagoon and struck
bottom again the following day, the
craft going on the beach broadside in
heavy wind. The barkentine stayed on
the beach for the entire time they stay
ed at Tanning. February II the crew
warped her of the beach for half an
hour, but she grounded again hard and
fast. One hundred and seven sacks of
copra were taken on that day with the
crew working from dawn till dark.
Captain Won Dahlern managed to pick
up the anchor of the Amazon where IL
lay on the bottom and this hook helped
him later on. Sunday, February 10, was
fair, but the following day it came in

fair weather, considering as Mate
Singleman says.
Then heavy winds and seas were met
with and January 80 the flying jib flew
away; for sixteen hours the next day
the rain came down in sheets, until
the decks were flooded and everything
soggy with the wet. The wind increased
all this time and late the same day the
mainsail and main-staysail blew out
of the bolt ropes with report like that
of a small cannon. Following this, bet
ter weather was encountered for a
couple of days, but a heavy southwest
swell mixed with cross seas, battling
winds and rain kept the crew busy.
How it rained can be seen from the
fact that in one hour, February 8, all

Start for Honolulu.


1t was impossible to put back to
Washington and there was no way in
which to fix the ship up there, so Cap
tain Won Dahlern laid course for Ho-
nolulu as the nearest port where he
could have the ship repaired. The
pumps were kept at work all the time
on the trip, the decks were awash and
there were times when the ship took
IN two inches per hour of water.
Bad weather continued although not
so bad as to the southwark, but it was
not until $500 north was reached that
anything like good weather was en-
countered. From that time on strong
winds but fair ones ruled, and for the
last three days into Honolulu nothing
but light winds were met-with.
Worst in "a Years.
Mate Singleman' says that in twenty.
four years at sea on the Pacific he has
never encountered weather like that on
the. present trip, and he is satisfied that
he has had enough. He leaves on the
Wllhelmina Wednesday to go North
from San Francisco in the cannery
fleet, position he has held for several
years.
SaPtdin Won Dahlern expects That the
vessel will discharge all her cargo here
and will be surveyed to ascertain the
extent of damage done, and will prob
ably undergo repairs before proceeding
to San Francisco.
Her phosphate cargo is all consigned
to Honolulu, but the 1406 sacks of
copra on board is San Francisco freight
and is to be landed at the California
port. The Castle is moored at railroad
wharf number two, and in her strained
stanchions and gear shows the effects
of the rough weather encountered on
the two-month trip.
"This is the only time that deck has
been dry in two MONTHS" said Mate
Singleton yesterday afternoon, point
ing to the waist where but little water
showed.

Battle for Southern Tennis
Title Starts Here Next Week

when the tournament will be limit
ed to members Of Southern clubs
only Then, If the tennis commit
tee has some money to spend for
expenses, let 1t bring to Atlanta
some of the Southern stars. We'd
like to see some of those famous
Texas players. There are always a
few Nirginians who might be in
duced.' Let the COMMITTEES scour
the South for star Southern play
ers. Bring them here and there
would be hundred tight matches,
instead OF sorry walk over, as
there is when star or two from
outside is brought here.
A MOTHER reform, we hope, for
though there seems even less
reason for hoping, is that some day
somebody will reform the foot
fault rule at the local tournament.
It's pitiful sight to see the foot
faulting when a Southern tourna-
ment is In progress. Nine players
out of ten in the tournament start
their serve with their toe on the
line. Some OF them hitch forward
from an inch to foot when they
serve Occasionally, right in an
important match, with an official
in charge. you VIII see a man start
a serve with his foot clear across
the line and In the court
The officials say. ooh, well, we
don't punish any little uninten-
ttonal violations of this rule"
All right then where will you
draw the line?
If it is all right for a man to
serve with his foot half across the
line, why isn't it right for him to
go all the way across the line? And
If he goes all the way across, why
can't he go to the net to serve?
II you want to know. the real
reason for this wretched condition
is that the big tennis men of the
club. the men who ought to set the
style for play that is in accordance
with the rules, are about the worst
offenders in the foot faulting.
We promise to have a good bit
more to say about this subject
when the tournament gets under
way, provided the rule is not bet
ter enforced than in the past. Wen
try to let everybody know that the
rule Is being violated, who is doing
IT, and what officials are allowing it.
Maybe that will wake up somebody
who will do something though. as
we admitted before. our hopes are
not running very high
