The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1857-07-02

and has proved herself a very good little craft.
She would not contend with the 6 clippers but
is seldom behind time. She is managed by Capt.
Gulick, and he has SO perfected is}plans that
she is Of great service to the people on the route.
She rune to Molokai, Lahaina, hama ind Kohala,
making her trips with a regularity exceeded by
none. Her accommodation are very good for SO
small a vessel, and one would BE- disappointed in
expecting anything else than the most gentle
manly attentions from her manager.
The Moi Keike (the Young Sovereignty, is the
only other vessel that makes regular trips to
Maui. She was formerly a pilot-boat in Boston
harbor, and is probably the most staunch-built
vessel in the group. She is under the charge Of
Capt. Colt Hebron, who has had q good degree
of experience in the c~oasting trade. The Ksike
is a fast sailer, and makes good passages.
The little Warwick is as smart for her inches
MS the best of them and the Maui Hikina is a
fine vessel for one 6 built in the woods" They
are both well managed craft, and often available
in times of need. in running to and from Homo
lulu and lahaina.
The above are the regular packet schooners that
can be depended upon as touching at Lahaina.
The Ka Moi seldom leaves her route, occasionally
going round to Kahului, but most generally runs
from this city to Lahaina and back, being gone,
on an average, three or four days. The Maria
touches at IAhaina, Kalepolepo, and Captain
Makee's landing, and crosses the channel to Ka-
waihae, and returning, makes the same stopages
time, about eight to ten days. Either of these
two vessels generally land their passengers ,cithin
twenty-four hours from here-sometimes in
eighteen.
HAWAII RourE.-Tle Lihohho, commanded by
Captain Thurston, is the regular Hilu packet,
touching at Kawaihae and Kobala. She is a
large fore-and-aft schooner, of $50 tons register.
formerly known as the Mctchless, running on
the Mexican coast, and for long voyages, was
known as. one of the fastest sailers aaoat. Her
cabin is fitted up with large state-rooms, we'll
ventilated-and passengers find on her comforts
seldom met with in vessels of her size. She is
admirably suited to the rough seas off Hawaii.
The only complaint we have ever heard is from
natives, who say they do not receive as many
favors on her as on other coasters.
Besides the Liho6ho. the only vessel now run
ming regularly to Hilo is the Sally, of So tons
burthen. The schooner Manuoka,cai, under the
charge of Capt. Beckley, has been withdrawn

will probably soon resume it.
The schooner Mary, commanded by Capt.
VIM. Berrill, runs regularly to Kawaihae direct,
and is engaged in the cattle trade. She has
proved herself q staunch, reliable vessel, and has
made some passages which it will be difficult to
excel. She generally runs up to Kawaihae from
this port in fifty hours, and returns in thirty
hours. making her trips pretty regularly once a
week. Passengers wishing to go direct to Ka-
waihae will find her accommodations equal to
those of any coaster. :
To Kona, Hawaii, we have at present but two
vessels. The Kekauluohi, owned by c.. Kanaina,
and commanded by a native, makes a trip about
every three weeks. She is weil-built craft, and
a fair sailer carries native passengers chiefly,
and, under the command of a foreigner, would
become a ~favorite. The iron schooner Alice,
owned and commanded by Capt. VIM. Rye, is the
only other vessel on this route.
KAUAI RoUTE.-The vessels on this route have
run with less regularity than those running to
the other islands. The Ercel, a fore-and-after,
Of 81 tons burthen, is the Koloa packet. Under
the command of Capt. Antonio, who, we con-
slider one of the best inter-island pilots we have,
she has been very prompt in her trips, and is
rarely more than forty hours from Nawiliwili to
this port. At present she is undergoing extern
sive repairs, but will soon resume her old route.
The schooner Join Young, formerly the Eliza,
owned and commanded by Rikeke, runs to all
the ports of Kauai. She is a fast saiIer, and is
rarely absent from this port over one week.
Foreign passengers on both these vessels will
require to provide themselves with provisions for
the voyage, unless they choose to put up with
fare a la Hawaii. Other vessels make occasional
trips to this island, but the above two are the
only regular traders.
Our coasting fleet has never been reduced to SO
small a number as at present. The Rioho, Ka-
mamaiu, and several smaller vessels, have recently
been lost, and the briggs Emma and John Dunlap
have been withdrawn for foreign voyages.
Hulahulas.
During the past two years these native exhibitions
have been slowly reyiving around this city, until they
are now to be met with in nearly every village on
this island. They have not been revived yet TO any
