fined To any one class of society.
The formal fetes open the Thursday
before Mardi Gras with the pageant

BUYSSEARLES
CARGO J.

Approximately five hundred thou
Isand feet of lumber from Columbia
river, destined to Valparaiso, Chile, in
the schooner Robert Searles. which
vessel put into Honolulu under jury
rig, following remarkable passage
lof 1000 miles in a crippled condition,
has been purchased by the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation Company.
Practically all cargo below decks
was saved. When the Searles met
with the hurricane August IA the en-
tire deckload was swept to-
gether with all her masts and stays.
Following series of negotiations
In which several local parties have
figured, the Inter-Island is said to
have submitted a proposition which
was acceptable to the underwriters. II
The hull of the Robert Searles is
understood to be on the market, the in
structions from the owners on the
coast being to the effect that Is be
sold here rather than go. to the eN-
pense of attempting either temporary
or permanent repairs.
While the report is neither denied or
confirmed, it is understood that the
Inter-Island would purchase the
schooner as she now lies at the Wei
kik side of Hackfeld wharf 1t is said
that the hull would well serve tie
purpose of a coal hulk or as lighter
for a variety of cargo. H.
The prediction is made that a deal
will go through within few days
which will result in the vessel re-
manning here indefinitely, p
"A delay of some weeks is predict
ed in the completion of the new Mat
son liner Manoa, which vessel is ex-
pected to depart from the east coast

ishing touches to the new steamer.
At the rate that the lumber brought
to the port in the schooner Mary E..
Foster is being discharged, that yes
sci will be ready for dispatch for the
