tficer in departing for San Diego by
the way of Kealakekua bay at 1886

failure to secure highly priced and
historical copper tablet, alleged as in
the possession of Mrs. Robert Leslie

adorned the last resting place of Cap.
tain Cook, the famous British navi-
, gator vino lost his life on Hawaii al
The hands of the natives.
! The Algerine was prepared for sea
yesterday, taking on coal as we'll as
provisions. The trim little war YES
sci is to pay call at Kealakekua Bay,
where delegation of sailors will be
sent ashore to clean and repair the
monument now erected there to the
memory of Captain Cook.
/ Captain Brooker of the Algerine
has made several unsuccessful en-
ldeavors to secure the original tablet
made from metal taken from the bot
ltom of the ship, upon which was in
Iscribed in crude style, brief account
/ of the tragedy in which the great
navigator figured.
| Despite appeals to Mrs. Leslie of
this city, the present owner of the
tablet, which is alleged to have come
into her possession through the death
| of her husband, Commander BROKER
was refused permission to carry the
memorial away with him. Offers of
3 substantial sums of money were de-
clined. Mrs. Leslie has been advised
that in legal action, she might be CON-
PEELED to turn over the plate to the
British authorities.
Declining to meet with Governor
Frear and Captain BROKER, Mrs Les
lie remained obdurate and the matter
| for the present at least has been
/ dropped.

at San Diego, the Algerine is to steam
