The average life OF Wooden ship
was said 20 he fifteen years. remarks a
writer In the Pail Mall Gazette. This
probably VAS assumed as a basis for
insurance purposes, yet large per-
centage OF wooden ships fiourlshed
much longer than fifteen years. | could
quote many instances of wooden ships
which kept ailoat an incredible num-
Der OF years, and eighty out OF every
hundred were coasters. Two extra
ordinary instances Of longevity In ships
may be worth quoting here In Fsbru-
airy, 1927, the Betsy Gains OF Shields
sailed from that port with a cargo to
Hamburg. She met with a heavy gale
from east-southeast, and bore up for
Shields hsrbor. The sea was raging on
Tynemouth bar: the ship struck, was
driven upon the rocks and lost What
ship was this that was lost IN the year
1927? VIII Il he believed that she was
the yacht that IN 1868 brought over to
England William, Prince of Orange,
and that she was then called the Prin-
cess Mary? This, at all events, was
claimed for her. How old was she when
she carried the prince? For a number
OF years afterward she was one OF
Queen hnne's royal yachts, and was
reckoned very fast sailing vessel.
The other instance is that of a yes
sci called the Cognac Packet, which, as
she was afoat in 1886, may still be trad
ing and in good health. | took note
of her in that year. when she sailed
from Seaman harbor coal laden for
Harwich, in command OF Capt. Button,
and she was then ninety-four years
old. having been built at Burlesdon,
Hants, in 1892. She used to carry
brandy to France and SO they named
her as above. She was almost a box in
shape.

Whose sword still keeps the lawless in

Who bears such burden five and twenty

The last monthly meeting oil the
oiaa Coffee Planters Association was
aimoe, exclusively spent in debating
the necessity Of corporate efforts OF
the planters In oroer To mako the new
industry successful. lac unanimous
opinion was that points most essential
for success never could be attained
through individual energy, no matter
how a. gent, active and industrious
the planters may be. Considering me
amount Of business done In the inter
est Of the Olaa district by the Asso-
citation In the course Of few months

warmly urge the painters OF other dis
tr,cts to form similar organizations.
Kona, the eldest coffee place, kauma-
ma, Puma and Kohala ough, certainly
TO have each and every one Their local
representative bodies. Those few Olaa
coffee planters who are still keeping
wild" in the jungle ought to put their
shoulders to the wheel as soon as they
realize that It Is not fair to benefit
gratuitously By the other peoples
work.
sti.. the formation Of merely local
associations will prove inadequate TO
grapple with difficulties. perhaps the
most material of all. There are prob
lens superior TO all others in impor-
lance, whose soluIon renders the CO.
operation of the whole island, nay OF
the whole group, necessary and I'M
ayo,.able. As a matter of fact those
problems devolve upon the Govern
ment. Unfortunately the Government
does not show any disposition to tackle
them. The annexation to the U. ). has
already charged us with the republican
duty to work out our own salvation
without and before arming us with
our republican rights Of self-goverH-
ment, which is the only tool to do It..
An extremely unpleasant, difhcult ana
dangerous situation. The more diffi-
cult dt is, tn, more we must unite to
find the outcome.
OF numerous interests Of that char
acter, requiring immediate co-opera-
tive action Of the whole island at
least, are the necessities:
1. To insure uniformity Of grades
OF coffee shipped to the worlds mar
ket.
Without such uniformity Hawaiian
coffee" will always remain an indefi-
mite article requir ng careful inspection
and valuations of every in..vidual bag
a kind Of work sufficient to disgust
the buyers.
2. Necessity to protect ourselves
from importation of dangerous bi,ghts,
Without some rigorous methods OF
inspection and disinfection the impor-
tation Of those blights with subsequent
ruin Of the industry is a mere question
Of time. We have been fortunate
enough to escape them SO far, by
chance, but 1t would be more than
foolish to take such chances In the
future. No planter and no capitalist
