for Maui isle.
Makera Carried Crew Of Three.
Captain Tom Mason was i'm charge
Of the schooner MAIZENA, when that
vessel departed from Honolulu at /
o'clock last Wednesday morning. With
him was n young Hawaiian, who serv.
cd in the capacity of engineer and
japanese sailor. These men are said
to be experts in their line and thor
ouEhly competent in all details of
their positions.
Should Have Reached Maui on
Thursday.
The Makcna, under all ordinary con
ditions, should have arrived at her
destination not later than Thursday
morning. The craft sailed from 10.
nolulu with a shipment of salt approx.
imating ten tons. The vessel was
Iprovisioncd for ten days and with
this store Of food and water on board
the three men will not suffer for some
days to come, provided the sampan
has not met with more disastrous
fate than breakdown of her en-.
! gncs.
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing n series of wireless MESSAGES
| flashed to many points throughout the
Islands of Maui and Hawaii with a
possibility of locating the whereabouts
Of the missing vessel met with nog
alive response in each instance
! Fear That Makena Ha~ Gone TO the
Bottom.
The fear is more or less freely o.
pressed that tho Makcna has turned
turtle in the strong gales and hoistcr-
Gus seas which prevailed at tho time
of her departure, and has gone to the
bottom with all hands on board.
Another theory advanced today Is
that the gasoline engines being new
may have become iammcd, aud the lit.
tie vessel attempting to rely on her
very limited sail power Is hopClcssly
adrirt many miles from the Islands.
Or. Raymond, Owner, Now on Maui.
DIR. J. II. Raymond. the owner of the
| Makcna, is on Maui awaiting patient.
ly some news concerning the missing
boat. The MakCna was launched less
than fortnight ago and Is a vessel Of
thirty-nine tons, propelled by gasoline
engines of forty indicated horsepower.
on the trial trip the little vessel sped
along her course at a tri1e over eight
knots an hOur. With this speed the
Maizena, could have easily arrived at
the Maui cattle port the day following
her departure from Honolulu.
| Supervisor Low Heard From.
! Supervisor Eben Low, now on Ka
huolawc on n at-eXtcrmination cX.
petition, sent in a wireless last even.
ing in which he stated that boat
much resembling the Makcna was
seen beating in the direction of Low
! island Kingdom on Thursday after.
noon. Supervisor Low Immediately
dispatched man in small launch
to hahaina, whence the information
was forwarded to Honolulu.
That the worst fears for the vessel
and her crew may be realized Is borne
out bv the fact that should the Ma.
kena have put into any possible port
\ or cove on Maui, Hawaii or Lanai. her
arrival there would have been noted
within halliday owing to the general
use of telephone communication on
all the islands. The appearance of
the power sampan would, so II Is
claimed, have been noted by native or
Japanese fishermen In very short or,
der, and the announcement immedi.
atcly forwarded TO DR. Raymond and
on to Honolulu through wireless.
The absolute absence of any news
! concerning the Makena lends belief Ia
the possibility that the vessel has
| been lost.
