Der OF forefhast hands 10 man their
vessels on a voyage from Honolulu to
the west coast OF the United Safes,
Harbor Officer Carter came upon one
George Rush, well known to the POI
lice, and after some persuasion in
duced the young man 10 ship in q
wlndjammer about to proceed TO sea.
Rush entered plea for some ad-
vance money, a sum being handed
over to him by trusting skipper.

name OF Rush, when called, failed to
elicit a response from the score of
men who scrambled aboard at the last
moment.

the missing Rush. He was found at
one OF the several well.knowfl haunts
OF the local colony OF beach-comhers.
Placed under arrest and charged
with vagraney, Rush attempted to
set up a plea OF failure to secure en-
ploymeflt when hailed before Judge
Monsarrat at district court this morn

would, and he was ordered TO take up
his residence at Hotel Asch for the
next ten days. 1t developed that
Rush had been repeatedly urged to

lice and sent over to the reef on min
or charges.

rather unhealthy locality for the non
