THE HAWAIIAN STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1893. SIX PAttES. (Continued rum Third puge ) is still accepted as the reason lor her disappearance. Two years later. Myi the Philadelphia 7 imca, Ihtre was f other mysterious disappearance A sloop-of-war, called the Levant, with about 200 men on hoard, disappeared as completely as the Albany. She was off Hawaii when last seen, No wreckage from her was evet found and no memento of her fatal cruiat was left ConnunlcathMi in those days was slow and it was main months before she was given up entirely. A piece of wreckage pu ked up near Cape Hatteraa in 1863 carried the only survivor of the !rg-ut war Bainbridgt which had gone down in a cyclone carrying more than 100 peo It The survivor was a colored CO k In January, 1870. the Hiilisli ship Bombay ran into the United States corvette Oneida in the harbor f Yoko hama. The Oneida was lost with 1 1 men. Captain l'.yre of the Bombay did not even atop to see how much damage he had done, and when the mattei was Investigated by the Admir alty he was severely censuied. Two famous disasters to United States vessels were the wreck of th Mononaahela in 1S07 and the wreck of the Wateree in 1868. The Monon liahela was nicked up by a tidal wave , carried over a number of large build lugs on the isiand Of Santa Cruz, knockinu one ol them down, and was left hieh and dry in the streets Of the city. She was blocked up by work men and launched again, and she i now on the active list of the navy 1 There is no record of fatalities con nected with this accident In the accident to the Wateree, whit h was of a similar charj( ter, only one man was killed. The Wateree was a side wheel iron ship of 1 200 tons, designed to do a blockading duty in the narrow rivers ol W '.he South. She carried a very heavy battery, drew only nine feet of water, and, having a rudder at each end, could steam in either direction. She was almost flat-bottomed, being de signed to carry a battery and a crew of nearly twice the tonnage ot the ordinary model This is what saved the lives ol her crew. The Wateiee was stationed at Calla Peru, durinu the bombardment ot thai city by the Spanish in 1 S66. Sh cruised up and down the Pacific coast for two years, and in August, 180S, was anchored off Arica, Peru, where she had lowed the itoreship fredonia. She remained at anchor at Arica over hauling engines rind boilers preparatory to Boinii to San Francisco. Are a was a rich town of some 10,000 inhabitants. picturesquely situated in a valley which ran un into the Andes. On one side was a perpendicular cliff 500 feet hi and on the other side the mountain slopes. Twice Arica had b en neaily destroyed by earthquake!. On August 8, 1868, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the men on the Wateree felt a violent trembling of the shio and saw a cloud of dust approach ing from the southeast. They saw the hills moving and hcaul a heavy rum bling like thunder. The ship reeled but righted herself again, and when the cloud id dust had settled the whole town was seen to be in ruins. The officers of the Wateree remembered the tidal wave which had stranded the Monongahela in the straits of St. Thomas, and began immediately to take all precautions. Additional anchors were put out, the hatches were battened down, the guns were secured, and life lines were stretched fore and aft. The people on the shore were crying for as sistance, so a landing party ot forty men, with a crew of thirteen, went ashore. A boatkeeper was left in charge of the boat ; but a minute after the crew had landed the earthquake shock had returned, the pi. r was wrecked and the boat was hutled against the cliff The boatkeeper saw what was coming, and, taking the boat flag in his hand, he waved a larewell to his comrades as the boat went down. The Wateree was carried three miles inland and her bones are there yet. Men Who Deceive Bankers. N. A. l'ainbolt of Norfolk, Neb who was present at the World's Con gress of Finance at Chicago, said to the writer: "I am more fearful of the man who makes a go. d appearance than the other kind. Men who expect to deceive bankers understand how much we have to depend upon looks. They prepare themselves accordingly. If a man comes to me with a certain amount of timidity and want ol con tidence I am more inclined to la' e him at his word and give him what he wants than if he is ready of speech and en tirely self-possessed. As for the theory that the confidence man betrays him self by his manner I have my doubts. It hasn't been my experience with them. Dickens is considered an authority on human nature. Dickens said something like this: The general impression is thai a dishonest man can not look you in the face. Let me dis abuse your mind of lhat, lor 1 promise you a dishonest man can look you out of countenani e every hour of the day if there is anything to be gained by it.' My experience in the banking business confirms that view ot it. J. M. Dinwiddie of Cedar Rapids said : "Let me add my experience, A man came into my bank with a check for $15 his wages as carpenter, he said. He was dressed like a working man. He loi ked like one. In every way he had the appearance of an honest man. I hadn't the least doubt he was what he chined to be. and cashed his check. He had forged the signature. He cashed six others jusl like il in our city that day. We got him, and 1 looked him over afterward carefully, but I couldn't see anything about him which conflicted with my first judge ment that he was an honest working man. Kven after he was in prison he was just as honest looking as when he came to the bank window ' -Si. LouU (JlobiDfiuocrat, 0wuT.il .fUuertioctnrntB r nrs"B vTum 2 A Big Week!

It aims to curt Consumption, Hits the Mark, too, and it most effectually breaks up Colds, Coup-hs, Hoarseness and all Throat and Lung troubles that cause this disease. It is natural logic to conclude that if Wampoi.k's PREPARATION ok Cod LlVER Oil has power to prevent Consumption.it sure ly is able to cure these lesser emergencies. This vigor-making, fat pro ducing preparation is Absolute ly Tasteless, in so far as Cod Liver Oil is concerned. All you notice is a ddightlul flavor of Wild Cherry and Anise. But the purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is there all the same. It is a great blood en richer. Best of all it is a natu ral food that in its stomachic effects, actually assists its own assimilation. In Pulmonary or Bronchial troubles it is unequalled. No one doubts the value of Cod Liver Oil, but not every one is able to take it. WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION removes the nauseous objection and actually makes Lod Liver Oil palatable. KEPT IN STOCK AND SOLD BY HOLLISTER & Co. Druggists. 109 Four Street, Honolulu. Club Stables Co. s.
