mmkroiAT MWEBTI5FH- HONOLULU, MAY 21 1901. 12 INTHECITYT0D NEWS OF THE WATERFRONT. A FULL LINE OF if ft 4' Hawaiian for Coast. Big Freighter Will Not Round Horn. Fearless Tows Ship S. D. Carleton to Kahului. THE big freighter Hawaiian of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, now on the way from Kahului to this port, will not make the voyage around the Horn to New York with sugar on account of the delay occasioned at San Francisco by the making of necessary repairs. The Hawaiian will arrive in this port today from Kahului, and after dis charging her cargo for this port, will take on sugar for San Francisco, then go to Kahului to complete her cargo, sailing direct to the coast from the Maui port. The Hawaiian's sugar will be sent overland to the East, and the steam ship will load at San Francisco for these Islands again. The Hawaiian will go to the railway wharf Upon her arrival here, where she will be discharged as quickly as pos sible. This Week's Sailings. The Kinau will sail today at noon for Hilo and way ports, as usual. She will carry a large amount of freight and many passengers to the big island. Tt is rumored that Commodore Beckley, the popular and famous purser of Wil der's flag ship, who celebrated his sil ver wedding at his splendid Diamond Head residence on Sunday, has not yet been congratulated by all of his friends. and that when he arrives in Hilo he HI MOONLIGHT SCENE IN THE HARBOR.

Wells, it may recompense to some extent for the despoiling or' the forests there. Speed and Cargo on the Atlantic The Celtic has the distinction of be ing the largest ship in point of tonnage that has yet been built; aUlmugh in point of speed she is excelled. The Celtic represents a distinctly interest ing type, which promises a large finan cial reward; for with her speed of from sixteen to sixteen and a half knots, her coal bill will be much less than that of many of her competitors on the Atlantic, while, at the same time, she is certainly not deficient in any of the comforts provided on the faster ships. In order to attain the high speed, it day a space of twelve feet square was uncovered in the middle of the wharf. Wednesday after dark the deserters paid the ship a visit, and several of them called upon Captain Hughes to show himself. A few seconds later a loaded bottle was thrown, and when the crash came the men ran away. Four of them ran into the open hole in the wharf and nearly perished from cold before they were rescued. They dared not call for assistance, and had to hang on to piles for half an hour until the disturbance was over. Then they were helped out on the wharf again by the a Japanese saloon. The Frenchmen are reported to have been armed with knives, cutlasses and revolvers, while the English tars had only their fists and a few canes. The result of the fighting was the death of Snell. The British and French Consuls at Naga saki attended Snell's funeral two days later. Vessels Off for Nome.

The Famous Bark Hesper There is perhaps no better known bark that sails the seas than the Hes per of San Francisco.

She has been on the dry dock at the Coast, and has been thor oughly overhauled and repaired. The schooner Rosamond expects to get away for San Francisco temorrow with a number of passengers. The report of the bark Gerard C. Tobey having leaked and damaged a portion of her cargo, is incorrect, ac cording to advices received here by Castle & Cooke, from her agents on the Coast. Stories were printed in the San Francisco papers recently to the effect that the Tobey had arrived there from this port leaking badly. It was reported that a quantity of her sugar was ruined. Castle & Cooke received mail on the Sierra, however, which leads them to discredit the rumors of damage. A Dangerous Fail. Walter Ackerman, a student of Oahu College, had a bad fall Sunday after noon. He and a companion named My ers were sitting on a rail of the upper veranda of a two-story building when the rail broke and Ackerman was thrown to the ground below, breaking one of the bones ln his wrist. Dr. Moore attended him. For some time concussion of the brain was imminent, but he is now out of danger. Myers saved himself from the fall by catching hold Of a post.

Wells, the first six- masted schooner ever built in America, off the was constructed of Virginia timbers cufc from one of the historic estates of Tidewater, Virginia. The famous White House plantation, an estate formerly owned by the Custises, and later by General Robert E. Lee, fur nished all of the 550 tons of solid white oak that was used In the construction of the gigantic coastwise sailer. The George W. Wells has made five coastwise voyages that in speed and actual carriages have surprised the sailing profession. It is interesting to notice the large dimensions of the vessel. Its length on the keel is 802 feet 11 Inches; length between perpendiculars, 345 feet; over all. 438 feet It is the fastest sailer afloat, as was recently proven by a sail from Phila delphia to Havana ln six days, and an other from Brunswick, Ga., to New York in three days. In this last trip the Wells was loaded with 48,000 rail road, ties. There are three Maine men now In Virginia cutting ship timber.

Six hours later the Dowan Hill came in and anchored close to the Eurasia. A couple of days ago the Eurasia docked at Union street wharf, and yesterday the Dowan Hill was put in the berth on the other side of the same pier. Both are chartered to load wheat, and the chances are that they will sail in com pany for England. Captain Hughes expects to get quick dispatch here, and in consequence tried hard to keep his men by the ship. Sun day last a number of them tried to desert, but were caught by First Mate Oldfield. During the night, however, they got away, and ever since , they have been trying to waylay the captain and mates in order to give them a beat ing. When they heard how Captain Pux ley had been mauled by some of his crew on Market street they thought it would be a good idea to serve Captain Hughes ln the same manner. Monday night they nearly caught Mate Old field on Davis street, and Tuesday night they surrounded Captain Hughes on East street, but the appearance of a policeman made them scatter. To understand what follows, It is necessary to explain that the employes of the Harbor Commission are repairing Union street wharf, and last Wednes- trial came off. Deutschland Creates a New Record The Hamburg-American steamship Deutschland, which arrived at New York from Hamburg, Southampton and Cherbourg, succeeded in making a day's run on this voyage which sur passes any previous day's record in the history of steam navigation." Five hundred and eighty-seven knota, or 676.61 statute miles, is the record of the Deutschland's run from noon on May 8th to noon on May 9th Slain by French Tars.
