be put under the Mexican flag and
Captain John Won Helms will be her

| Company's fleet. She is fast and
commodious steamer, fitted with a
refrigerating plant and everything nee
essary for a run in the tropics. Cap
tain Won Helms is great favorite In
Mexican ports, so the Manauense
should do well on the Coast.
