Wednesday morning, the delay being
caused by the shipping of new fore

put to a speed test, in smooth water.
She was run under four boilers. natur-
al draft for ten consecutive hours. over
a twenty mile course. The greatest
speed attained was 1913 knots. which
was rather disappointing. The poor

with 217O bags of sugar and 3G5 Of
rice. She was weatherbound at Hama
maulu for several days. When she did
get into Kapaa Captain Tullet found

Wilder's wharf into the stream, under
the supervision of Captain Johnson.
