  MAVERICKSH OUT S. 0. S., IS
  HONOLULU RUMOR
  Naval Authorities Deny Knowledge
  of Message; Trap is
  Suspected
  Did the temer Maverick, of ill
  fame in the Hindu conspiracy cases,
  and until recently supposed to have
  gone to "Davy Jones' locker" in a n
  in August off the coast of
  Northern Luzon wireless an S.O.S. to
  Honolulu Christmas Eve. either as a
  lure to an unsuspecting vessel or be
  cause she was in extreme distress?
  An unofficial rumor states that such
  a message was received by the naval
  fciithorities. while official denial is
  rr; e of the assertion by the silence
  as to questions regarding
  'i he report started shortly after the
  pi''lK atlon of the statement that the
  sit-nic- Paloona had steered clear of
  a ship sending up flare signals of distress,
  when it was discovered she answered
  the description of the Maverick.
  This encounter with the strange
  ship was said to have occurred 1500
  miles from Honolulu between here and
  San Francisco.
  Other navigators have reported both
  here and on the mainland as having
  6een a strange acting vessel which
  they thought to be the Maverick. It
  is also reported In shipping circles
  that navigators have been warned to
  be wary of approaching any ship answering
  her description and not to be
  led into a trap by going to the supposed
  rescue of shipwrecked persous.
  One of the methods which it is said
  was used by German raiders to trap
  unsuspecting navigators was to send
  up signals from rafts cast adrift near,
  but off the regular steamer course be
  tween here and San Francisco.
  If the Maverick is still afloat, as
  some are inclined to believe, there is
  little doubt that she has been used for
  some illegal means since leaving Ba- -
  tavia, Java, in August, or she would,
  long before this, have been authentic
  ally reported.
  One theory is that either willfully
  or accidentally she has fallen into the
  bands of the 61 German raiders from
  the Seeadler, who left Mopeha Island
  in the French bark Lutece early in
  September. Nothing has ever been
  heard of these raiders since they were
  seen to depart by Captain Halbor
  8mlth of the R. C. Slade. As the bark
  was old and far from weather proof, It
  was believed they would have to secure
  another vessel before they could
  continue their operations or succeed
  In getting to Java to intern.
  Many shipping men, however, believe
  that the Maverick was sunk In
  the typhoon which nearly sent the
  transport Thomas to the bottom. According
  to the officers of a Dutch
  steamer recently in port, the Maverick
  left. Batavta with an American in command,
  but had a number of Hollander!
  as assistant officers and members of
  her crew. The Maverick cleared; for
  New Orleans when she left Java four
  months ago.
  The only recent reports of shipping
  losses In the Pacific come from near
  the Australian coast where two big
  freighters are said to have been destroyed
  by mines.

  Maverick GIVEN UP AS LOST (Honolulu Stars Bulletin 20 okt 1917)
  ''Mystery" Ship of Hilo Thought
  to Have Been Destroyed in
  ; r.';- -. Recent Typhoon
  tNliwRD of i since she departed
  I I from Manila on August 14 last
  two and a half months ago for
  Honolulu without cargo, the freighter
  Maverick,' Hllo's famous "mystery
  .fcblp of 115, is relieved to have been
  lost in the typhoon that sorely bur
  - feted ' the transport Thomas in the
  same waters. ..f
  This is the announcement made today
  by naval authorities for no word has
  come to tell the fate of the old eteam
  ; cr which left Manila Just' one day
  ahead of the Thomas and which was
  to have proceeded on to the Eastern
  coast, by way of the Panama canal
  after a brief stay In this port.
  , Upon, her arrival la Batavia in 1915
  ' the Maverick was Interned or detained
  by the Dutch government, but was
  'later purchased. by the South Atlantic
  Transport Company of Baltimore, She
  left Batavia under the American flag
  ' and proceeded to Manila, arriving at
  .. the Philippine port on-Augu- 7. She
  spent just a week in Manila before
  departing on what was probably the '
  - last voyage of a rather romantic
  career."
  The name Maverick brings a thrill
  yet in Hawaii, for the 10-da- y stay of
  the vesseLin Hilo on an unexplained
  voyage and without freight has never
  been fully cleared up.
  ' Surmise was prevalent that the ves
  sel - was to meet the Annie Larsea
  ' later and was then to be rigged up as
  a' German raider, a- - surmise which
  ' may have. , been well founded, but
  During her 6tay in Hilo the boat
  was boarded by customs officials and
  was finally allowed to clear upon
  declaring that she was headed for 13a-tavla- ,-
  It was said that after her ar
  rival, there one of her officers made

  The . typhoon which , is believed to " liave destroyed the Maverick was. one
  of the raost severe ever encountered
  off t) I Philippine coast Officers'of

  in grave fear of the Dig vessel's ainls

  have been quite seaworthy, .but It is
