She was bought by J. T. Arundel,
well-known here from many visits, on
one of which he delivered a lecture,
and placed by him in his South Seas
guano and trading enterprise. He
named her the Explorer under which
name he sold her to the Gibson gov
eminent here, which converted her
rig from schooner to bark and fitted
her up as a man-of-war for the no.

naval career the Inter-Island compa-

JAPANESE FINED.
Inspector Calvert of the harbor
masters Office has taken dennite
steps against the spilling of gasoline
on the docks and into the harbor.

come into port yesterday is now
thought to be the Edward Sewall
which left Kahului and should have
been sighted about this time.
The general opinion is that the

Molokat channel and took tack that
would carry her clear of the islands.
No sign has been seen of the vessel
today.

and few of the steamers built in this
country could pass the British Board
of Trade inspection for a passengers
