AUCTION BULLETIN

When you bought that fine Dining
suite what did you do with the old
set, put it in the barn for the worms
to eat, or did you send it at once to
the Auction Rooms to turn it into
ready money? We received several
lots last week, but are looking for
more, especially from those who do
not like to part with old furniture.
There are some people who will
not part with it, strange to say, and
there are others who want for an
old sideboard which is out of date
enough to buy William & Mary
dining suite. 1T can't be did" you
know, but if you are quite finished
with your good useful but worn
furniture, then send for the Auction
Room man who viii buy it outright
or sell it very advantageously for
you by Public Auction at Honolulu

ed by Long-Lost Man.

(By the International News Service. !
Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. ga tale OF
amazing adventures. begun when the en-
gtne Of his motor boat went wrong, and
he and a companion were compelled to
drift for a week at sea, was told by
Charles Borden, a bookkeeper, who had
been mysteriously missing since April I.
and who returned here today as cabin
boy on a tramp steamer.
Borden said he and Fred Meyer were
in the motor boat on what was intended
to be a weeks fishing trip and that they
saw no land after their engine broke
down until they were landed on a rocky
Island. the location OF which he did not
know. They were taken off by an Italian
vessel, which transferred them to one
bound to the South seas, and which was
wrecked.
A French steamer picked them up and
landed them at Sydney, Australia, where
Meyer died as a result Of his privations
and Borden Joined the Australian navy
Later he effected his release, after his
regiment has been ordered to Egypt.
Finally he shipped as cabin boy for the
return trip home.
