Mnttio T. Dyor on ITronoh rrignto
Shonls, I thoncht it would not bo
amiss at this time to giro futuro
navigators in thoso dangerous wa
ters Bomo ulons regarding this
reef nud group of islets. Having
mudo several voyages there, sur
veying tho group, inspecting the
guano deposits, etc., I feel com
petent to report fuller information
that is usunlly found either int
Bowditch or the charts.
Thosoislands aro about twenty
seven miles farther west than the
old charts plnco them mid lmvo
been the scene of Borne twelvo or
liftoen wrecks. Tho roof and
shoal aro crescent formed, opou to
tho southwest, iiiBido of which
there is n lagoon of Btill water
and good oncliorago, ns thoy aro
located in tho northeast trado
winds. Tho outBido reef is steop,
too, rising abruptly from tho
deep sea. The breakers dash
heavily on this outsido barrier
and oither in tho night or day,
with a good lookout, can bo booh
four miles away. Two or tlirao
miles inside of this lino of break
ers and also forming a crescent
aro sixteen islets, about 150 feet
high and somewhat resembling a
ship under full sail.
I left Bomo twenty-five Hawai
ian natives ono summer on thoso
'.slands, whoro I erected a cabin,
dug a well leu feet deop and 6ot a
whaler's trypot. Tho following
winter I returned and found tho
nalivcs fat and lazy. In tho
meantime thoy had captured about
1000 hair seals, 300 pounds of seal
oil, a quantity of shark's liver oil
and sliark's fins, which at that
timo brought 25 conts per pound
among tho Chineso, together with
a good lot of wreckage from tho
unfortunato vessels lost thoro.
Tho waters abound with excel
lent fish of many varieties. Tho
food supply is on an inexhausti
ble scale, green turtle, wild fowl
and their eggs being found with
out limit.
If tho wrecked mariners had
taken a little morotjmo iu looking
around thoy would havo found it
a very cheap boardiug-ploco
during these times of depression.
Probably tho Government would
havo sont tho Charleston for thorn
iu timo for tho next election.

AI'TKIt TIIK DOCTOR'S COIN.
Siiriccon IIowlo ol' tho Uelglc' ITIiut
Ulvo Ilia riinutclal Stnudlnc
A recent number of tho Call
has tho following:
Dr. Eoborfc J. Bowio, tho dash
ing young surgeon of tho Occi
dental and Oriontal liner Bolgic
and brother of Allen St. J. Bowie,
president of tho "Western Light
and Power Company, will bo ask
ed to appear boforo a Justice of
tho Poaco today to divulge tho ex
tent and location of his worldly
possessions, if ho has any.
Homo years ago Uowio boorded
with Mrs. Blanoho AYilcox and
ran up a big bill for his keop.
When sho finally importuned him
to settle ho gavo her a promissory
noto for S17o in payment.
This was two yoars ago and
though tho noto callofl for a sottlo
ment within thirty days tho papor
was never taken up. She assigned
her claim to J. J. Bauer, who ob
tained a judgment by default.
"When tho collector of bad debts
tried to find Bomothing with which
to Batisfy tho decree of tho court
ho was unsuccessful. A doputy
sheriff Bent with a garnishment to
intorcopt tho doctor's salary from
tho company failed to find that
any mOnoy was duo him and tho
medico did not appear to havo any
valuables that could bo levied
upon.
In order to settlo for good tho
surgeon's finanoial standing Bauer
had an ordor of examination issu
ed calling upon tho doctor to ap
pear before a Justice of the Peace
and explain matters.
As tho Bolgic sailB today at tho
Bamo hour on which Dr. Bowio is
ordored to appoar in court it iB
probable thatsomo sort of anango
mont will bo arrived ut in order
that'ke may bo able to sail with .
tho ship.
