HARBOR PILOT
CARRIED TO SEA

Carried far to sea, and as yet not
returned to headquarters Pilot Mo
sher for Hilo harbor is believed to be
an involuntary passenger in the lum-
Der laden schooner J. Fl. Bruce, which
a week ago was seen making close to
the land in the vicinity of LaupahOe-
hoe, on the Hamakua coast of Ha-
waii.
The windjammer was noted some
miles off Laupahoehoe as the Mauna
Kea steamed toward Hilo on last
Sunday morning. Putting off in a
launch, Captain Mosher, a former
well known Inter-Island skipper, and
pilot at Hilo is said to have boarded
the vessel for the purpose of bringing
the craft to berth at the railway
wharf.
A strong wind is reported blowing
at the time and it is stated that the
skipper in the Bruce declined to take
tow, declared that he would sail in
to port.
The vessel was still lowering well
off from the coast of Hawaii as the
Mauna Kea returned to Honolulu on
last Tuesday morning.
In steaming for Hilo and Big ISL
and ports on last Wednesday, the Of
ficers failed to sight the vessel. On
arrival at IIilo nothing was learned as
TO the whereabouts of the schooner.
When Captain Freeman and his Off
GERS sailed from Hilo on Friday night
for Honolulu, a careful watch was
maintained for the schooner, but with
out success.
The supposition is that the Bruce,
now forty days from Port Ludlow has
been blown far to sea and it may re-
quire some days to beat back to des-
tination.
