ITHEY NARROWLY @eririsieiebebeiebeieie e ESCAPED GO O WHALE HEAD Lurline and Bryant Just Missed It. — Two vessels have had narrow escapes from going on Whale Head, near Point Bonita, within the last forty-eight hours, The brig Lurline, from Kahului drifted past the rock on Tuesday afternoon and was so close that the sailors held their breath, fearing she would strike. Luckily the current carried her up toward Arch Rock and a land breeze soon carried her out of danger. The bark C. D. Bryant, from Honolulu, had her narrow escape yesterday. She could mnot clear Whale Head and Captain Colly had to run her into Paddys Port and drop his anchor. Later the breeze came along and the Bryant was worked out of her dangerous predicament and reached an anchorage street wharf. In the case of both the brig and the bark it was a question of the wind falling light and the tide taking charge. The Lurline was very light, h ing only enough sugar aboard to ballast her, and had she not fortunately kept in the current that set toward Arch Rock she surely would have gone on Whale Head. The Bryant was loaded, and had a breeze such as blew during the afternoon come up while she was in Paddys Port she would have gone ashore. The captains of the C. D. Bryant and the German Bark H. Hackfeld had a peculiar experience. They left Honolulu within half an hour of each other and reached San Francisco almost the same length of time apart. Both vessels made long voyages of thirty-one days and yet neither sighted the other until they were off port. The schooner E, Fe made the run up in twenty-three day the brig Lurline in ninefeen days. The dozen sailors who deserted the ship British Isles as soon as she dropped an- chor on Tue: afternoon are once more at sea, and the boarding masters are richer by nearly $750. \When the men were taken off the British ship they were prom- easy berth on a coaster.

The law on the sub- ject, as it stands, makes it mandatory on the Auditor to notify the Board of Super- visors, the Board of Education and the City and County Treasurer, at the begin- ral year, the amount of money used in the payment of the salaries of the teachers in the preceding fiscal vear, and to set aside that sum for the payment of teachers during the passing year. In this connection the legal interpretation of the word ‘‘used” will have an important bearing in decid- ing how much the teachers are actually entitled to, should the constitutionality of the law be upheld. According to the Auditor's figures, the amount actually paid t s_during the last fi year was $850, 20. but that sum, with the $179.3¢6 % withheld because of lack of funds makes a total of $1,029,800 10. If the word ‘“‘used” is interpreted to mean the sum actually earned hy the teachers last vear the teachers’ jes for the present fiscal vear, as the estimate of the amount re- quired for that purpose submitted by Su- perintendent Wet but $1,010,000, or ¢ 320,000 less than the sum' to which entitled last year. On_ the - hand, if the word “used” is inter- preted to mean the sum actually paid out, the amount the Supervisc will be re- quired to appropriate Is § 547 less than the salary estimate. Auditor Wells, how- ever, ap to have taken the more liberal view of the meaning of the word, and unless he is overruled by the law the teachers will get what may be due them.
