TRANSPORTS At HlO
HOW THE ANIMALS WERE
HANDLED.
Captain Trask Quoted as Saying Hilo
is a Fine Port-Time and Money
Spent in Discharging.

The first detailed account of how the
transports managed at Hilo comes from
San Francisco. 1t appears that the
horses and mules were loaded on to
scows and put ashore without much
trouble. The work of getting them
ashore took from 1880 in the morning
of the day after the arrival of the Az
tee to o'clock in the evening. Four
scows were used, with Matson's launch
Lurline, While the launch was towing
a scoY she struck a rock and sank, but
was Stewards recovered. The horses
and mules were put on the steamer
again in the same day as they were
taken off, by the use of scows.
Captain Trask of the Aztec is quoted,
by Captain Matson of Hilo, saying that
Hilo is better port than Honolulu and
ought to have the transport business.
The Examiner says Captain Matson
writes that Captain Trask of the Aztec
and Captain Gale, the ships quarter
satisfied with Hilo and thought it a
better port than Honolulu"
As compared with the work in Homo
lulu the Hilo record is one that makes
Captain Trask's alleged remark a
rather startling one No transport that
has ever come here has had to spend a
whole day in getting her animals off.
One vessel put all her horses and mules
on the wharf in two hours, and the
average is not as much as half day.
Putting them back has been done in
about the same time The expense has
been far below what it cost at Hilo.
1t is reported that the charge there
was $500 head for taking the animals
off the vessel at which rate Uncle Sam
will have some very big bills to pay to
the Matson people of Hilo.
