HlLO, July l5.-Wrecked amidst
high waves and in impenetrable dark
ness, near the beach of Hilo bay be-
tween Waiakea and the Volcano Sta
bles, a fishing party of seven persons
two Honolulu girls and five Hilo men
had an exciting, If not dangerous rs
cape from drowning last Wednesday
evening about eight-thirty o'clock.
Those in the party were h. q. MOg,
ford, s. f. Murphy, George Sims, Jack
Easton and l.. F. Sterneman of Hilo,
and Miss Henrietta Smith and Miss
Clorinda Low of Honolulu.
The party started from the Waiakea
landing in the steam launch Vera to
spend the evening fishing at Reed s
bay. Less than half an hour later the
most a block from shore, with i'm
mense breakers washing over it, while
every wave threatened to capsize the
boat and pin one or more beneath.
Danger to the party was greatly in
creased by the dense darkness in which
it was impossible to act with any
defniteness.
Thrown Out By Stop
As the launch ran aground, George
Sims was catapulted by the shock of
the sudden stop from his seat into the
water. His disappearance over the side
of the boat added to the excitement.
as the party were unable to see wher-
he was carried by the waves and no
one knew whether he could swim. Sim 5
uncXnected dive, however, relieved the
accident of some of it's stress, for as
he came up from the water he found
that he could touch bottom.
Pereeiving the danger Of the launch
caPsiHing Sims shouted that he was
safe, and grasped the side of the
launch in an endeavor to hold it on
an even keel. Ina moment the other
men in the party were in the water
and also doing all possible to keep
the boat from overturning. The young
ladies then clambered into the water
and were taken ashore by Murphy.
Girls Were Brave
In relating the incidents of the &C
cident the men were highly comph-
mentary of the GOODNESS and courage
shown by the two young ladies when
the danger was greatest.
'When told to climb out of the
'uNIFn IntN ulu NO WITHOUT HtSltH
ton. If they had been excitable or
frightened, one cannot tell what might
have been the toll of the wreck" one
declared.
Exciting, Not Dangerous, Say Girls
- 1t WAS pretty dark. the waves were
hi"h. end the launch rolled around
like it might turn over, but there WASH I
really any danger. it was only excit,
ing. - explained Miss Low. 1--WE
weren 7 afraid because there was moth
ing to be afraid of. I don t see why
the men say we were brave
Psrty's Plight Precarious
Despite the modesty of the young
Indies, the male members of the party
DECLARED that before they knew they
were in comparatively shallow voter
and were unable to tell exHctlv where
the boat had grounded, that the nOsi
ton Of the party was post precariOns.
" Even then there was danger of the

NEW YORK, July lS.-Whol-
ly without warning and while the
majority of her passengers were
in their hunks, asleep, the British
steamer Orduna, bound from Liv-
erpool to New York, was attacked
by a German submarine on the
early morning of July g. The Or
duna reached port yesterday and
brought the news of the attack.
The ship carried two hundred and
twenty-seven passengers, includ-
ing twenty-one Americans.
Captain Taylor states that the
attack came without the slightest
warning, his ship being at the
time sixteen hours out from Liv-
erpool The torpedo speeding to-
wards the ship, its wake showing
on the surface, was the first init
nation afforded those on the ship
that a hostile submarine was in
the vicinity. The torpedo missed
its mark, passing some thirty feet
behind the stern.
SHELLED THE STEAMER
Hurried orders for all possible
speed were sent to the engine
room and the Orduna was max
ing good time when the subma-
rine broke to the surface behind
her, opening FIRE with her deck
gun. None of the shells struck
and the ship escaped, but it was
hours before the startled passen-
gers could be treasured. They re-
manned on deck during the greater
part of the day, wearing life belts,
while the small boats were swung
out and held ready to launch.
In all, seven shots were fired al
the steamer, the shells coming
dangerously near in some cases.
ADDS TO TENSION
The report of Captain Taylor
fully corroborated by the passen
gers, has created grave concern
and it is generally believed tha'

were agreed that if the official in

correct the incident will have q
very decided effect upon the
American reply to the SECOND
German note, which is to be con
sidered at a cabinet meeting or

AS soon as a formal complaint
a"a'nst the unjustihed attack up
on the Orduna is made, the state
department will make a forma
investigation. The report made
bv Captain Taylor is supported by
so many witnesses that its truth
is not questioned, and it is certain
that the affair will add another

The proposition of C ol onel Richard son, the chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, that he would make an allowance of so many thousand dollars to build road to Tolovana, providing a certain amount was subscribed by Il 6 people of Fairbanks. is not meeting with the success that movement of this kind should. Several men who are ill favor of progressive movements such as roadbuilding have been heard to eX- claim that they would donate money to help the thing along but they object to Colonel Ricfardson's $ connection with the matter. The money would be spent under the direction of the Colonel and they have little faith i'll the Colonel. their lack of faith growing out of their observations of, and familiarity with, the Colonel's ways and means of road building i'll the past. It is bad thing for the country that man who IS as un popular as MT. Richardson appears to be should be allowed to stand ill the way of popular movements.
