his way to the pier where the Hall
was docked. He looked as if he
was going on short voyage and
several friends shook hands with
the official and bade him a good
trip. A quarter of an hour before
sailing time the official boarded
the steamer. He sought H. Kaipo

from him secured permission to
make little investigation of his
own in the hold of the vessel,
Kaipo accompanied the marshal
and assisted him as scrates, boxes,
bags and packages of all descrip-
tions were overhauled. The mar
shall then came across small par

The contraband was seized by
the marshal and lugged by him to
his Office, where it now reposes in
perfect safety. Ere this the con-

custody, but the conslgnee will
