RESCUE CHASTITY
TORSO FLOATING
AT MAKEA wharf
Body of Unknown Man Had
Been in Water For Months:
Both Legs Are Missing

So badly decomposed that it is prob
able no Identification can ever be
made, the torso of 4 man picked up
at the wharf at the foot Of Alakea
street was taken to the morgues this
morning and preparations were made
to hold an inquest this afternoon
There is nothing on the body by Which
it might be identified.
Sailors looking over the side OF the
interned German ship, the Pommern,
first discovered the body and officers
of the ship reported it to the police.
The body was taken from the water
with graphing hooks and carried to
the morgue in the patrol
1t is the opinion of Coroner Julius
w. Asch and Emergency Surgeon K. u
Aver that the man was drowned two
months ago at least All clothing has
been torn from the body, probably by
the action of the water. both legs are
gone and the arms are half gone. But
little flesh remains on the torso. Not
even a faint guess can be made as
to the age or nationality Of the man.
No person has been reported missing
to police headquarters and so far the
only theory is that the man fell from
some ship in or near the entrance to
the harbor. though no such accident
was reported here.

Capt. C. Holm of the; steamer, which
arrived this morning from Yokohama
with 1896 tons of freight for Homo
lulu. and will sail tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock for San Francisco.
Capt Holm, who was for more than
20 years a pilot in the Inland Sea of
japan, said the T. K. K. has charter
ed the Kwanto Maru for year at this
big figure He added that the own
ers have been offered 100000 for
the Kwanto . Maru. approximately
five times as much as they paid for
her when they bought her from the
Blue Anchor Line three years ago,
when her names was the 'Wakool,'
and she carried emigrants.
No passengers are being carried
this trip by the Kwanto, which could
carry 80 cabin and $50 steerage pas
sengers if she was fitted up. Now her
steerage space is crammed with car
go. The boat, among her Honolulu
cargo, brought 1904 bags of Japan
csc rice. Her through cargo is 3O47
tons. according to Purser T. Tayama-
Capt. Holm reported a very rough
voyage over from Yokohama, having
left that Dort January 6. On January

ter went down to 29.12.
hTeKwanto Maru was built in 1898,
in Great Britain. She will make reg
ular calls here throughout this. year
Capt Holm said. Her next visit here,
from Yokohama, will be April %.
While the steamer was at Pier 2
this morning seagull flew up and
lighted on the ships rail. staying
there several minutes. When this
happens, according to old sailors, it
means good luck for the steamer.

Early next week the bark British
Woman will go into the Inter-IsIand
drydock for repairs TO her jammed
rudder, and for such other overhaulirg
and repairing as she may need. Tie
vessel is at Pier Is today. having been
towed into port yesterday afternoon
by the L. S. naval tug Navajo. Capt.
Fred w. Meters.
At Waimanalo bay yesterday the
Navajo and her tow lay most OF the
morning. enabling the crews of both
vessels to get a little sleep, the first
they had enjoyed in several days The
start from the bay for Honolulu was
made shortly before noon, the Navajo
entering port with the bark at 2:30
yesterday afternoon. Capt. j. F. Hag-
lund went out and boarded the Yeo-
man. The tug Intrepid and Makaala
helped steer the bark up the harbor to
her berth
The Navajo left here Tuesday morn
ing in response to a radio call for help
from the lighthouse tender Columbine,
which wirelessed that all lines had
parted and she was no longer able to
hold the British Woman, which she
had towed from danger at Port Allen,
Kauai, when the bark was in peril and
drifting towards shore.
Seas IS Feet High.
Capt. Meters said the seas encoun.
tered by the Navajo on leaving here
were the worse he had ever seen The
tus was, decks under the great seas,
which we're 20 to % feet from trough
to crest, with a gale blowing.
The Navajo had been advised Of
the bark's position by wireless as Is
miles south of Nawiliwili, but this was
the approximate position, as the bark
was drifting helplessly, the Columbine
having left her to 60 to Nawiliwili in
search of the Inter-Island steamer
Wailele. r.. .
Just at sunset Tuesday Capt. Met
tiers made out, far off on the port
bow, what appeared to be the bark.
He made for her and found it was the
Yeoman, which was firing rocket sig
nails for help.
At 8 o'clock that night Capt. Meters
cut under the bows of the British Yeo-
man, got line to her and took her in
tow despite the gale Her position
then was about 90 miles south and
west OF NawiIiwilf.
At midnight the hawser parted, and
a second line itgd to be put aboard.
This was accomplished and the vessels
were under way at ITO O'Clock We'd
nesday morning for Honolulu, making
between four and five miles an hour.
