The Day of Exceeding

The Quarantine Pau Two Days Along
the Waterfront Steamers
ln--Harbor NotesA

There was quite q procession in and
out of the harbor Saturday. The Han
cock which was anchored off port was
the first to leave then followed the Til
lie Starbuck for New York and the st.
Katherine for San Francisco with su-
| gar. The schooner Lady got away for
Oahu ports and the steamer Waialeale
for Kauai and the Maui on the Clau-
dimes run got off in the afternoon The
island steamers came in all day, the
Niihau from Maui, the Ke Au Hou from
Kauai and the j. A. Cummins from
Oahu ports. The schooners Concord
and Luka from Hawaii and the Norma
/ from Maui ports arrived after quite
| long trips from here. The ship Chap
man from San Francisco first reported
on Thursday and which disappeared put
in an appearance in the afternoon and
was brought into the harbor.
Yesterday the w. G.. Hall and James
Makee arrived from Kauai bringing
sugar and the Mokolii got in from Molo-
kai.
Need of a Dry Dock.
The needs of the harbor will greatly
increase in the event of the cable COM
ing to these Islands. Honolulu's i'm
portance as a mid-Pacific port of call
cannot be gainsaid, and as a ship goes
TO Delaware Breakwater or Astoria
for orders SO will vessels put in here
This port will, as the commerce OF the
Pacific grows, be more sought for. The
establishment of a modern dry dock is
possibility of the future. Its need has
been felt here more than once as it is,
and it Is sure to come. The new
steamers which are to ply in the Isl
and trade are promised soon. The ac-
commodations for them at present are
slim. The wharves at present being
hardly adequate for the shipping now
coming here, 1t is understood that Mr..
Burnham of Flint * Co. of New York,
| lately here, has advised his firm TO
make overtures to the United States
| Government in an effort to secure the
right to build long wharf and ware
house makai of the new quarantine
wharf for the accommodation of the
sugar trade. 1t is figured that a wharf
| 1,200 feet long can be constructed
which will be great boon to the sugar
shippers If the scheme is carried
through.

The Kauai from Kilauea brought
ZOO bags, OF kilauea sugar to w. q.
Irwin * Co. and % bags OF wool. The
Re Au Hou from Waimea brought 1890

Company sugar and forty bundles

from Hanamaulu brought COOL sacks
sugar to III. Hackfeld & Co. All the

water and copious showers. So hard
did 1t rain that the loading was ma
terially interfered with. The rains have
been very general all along the Kauai
