on the Asia, is investigated by the
State department, there may be a new
consular agent in Vladivostok. The
charge was made yesterday by the of
ficers of the Carrie and Annie, that
the American consul at the Siberian
port, Nicholas Gray, refused to give
them any assistance and that if it
had not been for the kindness and
courtesy shown by the officers of the
Russian transport which had brought
them to the seaport, and also the kind
ness of the people of the city, they
would have been destitute.
The Carrie and Annie sailed from
San Francisco on a whaling expedi
" tion on March 26, of the present year,
carrying a crew of fifteen including
ner owner and Captain T. J. Thomas,
of Oakland, California, and First Mate
J. Bertoncini. She stopped at this port
for several days, leaving here for the
waters off the coast of Siberia on
April 17.
She was a schooner of 90 tons net
tmrden, twenty-two years old and in
good sound condition.
When asked for his story of tne
wreck First Mate Bertoncini said:
l!Sd only captured one whale, a small
lbowhead, which was killed by . the
second mate on June 14, till the even
ing of August 27. We dropped anchor
that day in a email bay bordering
Shantaraki Island, Siberia, about one
and a half miles from the rocks. We
bad fifteen feet of water at low tide.
We were forced to anchor as there was
a dLd calm and a heavy swell at the
time.
HEAVY SQUALLS.
"At midnight it commenced to blow
in heavy squalls, coming from the
northwest and settling about noon the
next day into a steady gale. The star
board anchor was out and we also
dropped our port anchor, as it was im
possible to work the vessel out. We
depended on the anchors to weather
the gale which was blowing.

of kindness and courtesy, the best
not being good enough for an Ameri

kind to us than they were and the
treatment seemed to be mainly on ac
count of the fact that we were from
the United States.
"Coming to the conclusion that we
could not hang out till the consul
made up his mind to help us, we sold
our boats and all our personal prop
erty, and, with what we realized and
the assistance given us by Russians,
whom we had never seen before, paid
our passage to Yokohama, where the

which the representative of our na
tion treated us and tried to make up
for it in every way that they could."

meeting of Saturday night.
' ' We '11 take care of his case all
right," added Senator Charley Chil
lingworth, in a tone of voice that possi
bly. Wallach would not have relished
had he heard him. .
"If he hasn't got the cure he says
he has, we all know what to do with
him, ' ' said Supervisor Fern, later on,
and there was a world of menace in
his voice and expression as he thought
evidently of what should be the fate
of one who has played with the hopes
and fears of the Hawaiians, as Wallach
has done, without being able to make
good.
Wallach is to be given a trial by
the Board of Health. President Pink
ham said so in his words yesterday, not
in exact phrase but in words that meant
clearly what was to be done.
"In making what recommendation,
I may to the Board I shall probably
be not guided in the least by my rea
son," he said at one stage of the pro
ceedings. This, in itself, is a clear
indication of what President Pinkham
will recommend, but he said further:
"AH that you have said to me has
not influenced me in the least." What
we will do is what the lepers them
selves want us to do. I have the ad
vice of seven of the hardest-headed
men of the settlement, who told me in
a few words what they wanted. Their
wishes will be consulted. They know
what they want and they have a whole
lot more sense than the most of you
here in Honolulu. "
WHAT THE SEVEN WANT. .
What the demands of the seven hard
headed men were are stated in the fol
lowing, a copy of the resolution drawn
up by them and ratified at the Kalau
pa'pa mass meeting, forwarded to the
Advertiser from Kalaupapa by the Iwa
lani. It states:
