The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-09-30

DIAMOND HEAD, Sept. 30, Top. NJ.
Weather, clear wind, light NE.
Commencing with the Alameda,
the Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamers will spend three weeks in
San Francisco and two in Sydney,
instead of vice versa as at present.
Consequently the Alameda did not
sail until the 22d. The change is
made by special request of the Eng
lish and New Zealand postmasters,
who have arranged to connect the
mails on the later dates. The new
line sailing from Vancouver under
the protecting wing of the Cana
dian Pacific, has it's sailing date
down for the 10th of each month,
but as there are only two boats Oh
the line it is doubtful if the sche-
dule will be lived up to. The
northern boats take in Honolulu,
but overlook Auckland entirely and
can hardly be said to be in compe-
tition with the Oceanic company,
which has its subsidy from New
Zealand.
On August 2Sth there was
launched from the shipbuilding
yard of Russell & Co., Greenock,
Scotland, a fine full-rigged steel
ship of $3.50 tons lightweight,
| named the Marie Hackfeld. : She
has been constructed for account of
Messrs. J. G. Pfuger 81 Co., of Bre-
men, as an addition to the Homo
lulu line of packets from Liverpool
to Honolulu, established some years
ago by Messrs. Pfuger q Co. and
Messrs. II. Hackfeld 81 Co., Of
Honolulu. The Marie Hackfeld is
246 feet in length, 374 feet in beam,
and 221 feet hold, and on compile
ton of her outfit will be towed
round to Liverpool to take the berth
for Honolulu. She will be valu-
able addition to the feet of this
line, which includes the III. Hack
field formerly the British ship
British Nation), the J. G. Phuger
(late Waikato), J. G. Glade, George
n. Wilcox (new) and other vessels.
