Goodman, superintendent Of ship

| win, with station at San Francisco,
but who is now here, be carried to the
logical conclusion, which it is intimated
is possible, there will be a great de-
crease in the number of ships which
are to come to this harbor with miscel
laneous cargoes and for return loads
of sugar. The plan is in general to
have all ships go direct to the planta-
tions. unload the coal or other mate
rial which they carry, ard take on the
sugar while lying at the same anchor
age.
! The Inauguration of the system for
mis- firm, which may be continued until
all the sugar mills on the lee side OF
the various Islands have their own
landings. will be made at MakaweIi.
| The Waialeale today will take up to
the Kauai port four great mushroom
anchors, for moorings, and chains
which will be sufficient to hold any
ship which may go to the harbor to
discharge or receive cargo. Captain
Goodman VIII go with the ship for the
purpose of putting down the moorings
and will for time stay there to look
after the workings of the plan. There
is a coal vessel nearly due, and it is
hoped to install the anchors and re-
pair the small wharf in time to handle
this cargo.
The anchors which will be put down
will number four, and each weighs
1900 pounds. 1t was found by actual
test in San Francisco that the anchors
of the inverted mushroom type, which
have been urged for adoption by Cap
tain Goodman for the past twenty
years, of the weight of the oses now
here, outheld anchors of the old type
which weighed $500 pounds. The
moorings viii be placed so that the
nearest to the shore are within a half
mile of the little dock, while the fur
theset out are not more than one mile
off shore. The others viii be placed In
between, SO that a ship may haul out
if it is desired, thus enabling the yes
sci to keep a safe distance IN all kinds
of weather, for while It is often wise
to have ship at the closest range dur
ing the period of settled weather, 1t Is
deemed safe to make provision for the
vessels being kept off shore during the
winter season.
After the repair of the small dock at
Makaweli there will remain only the
arrival of the lighters which will ply
between the ships and the shore. These
are similar to. but larger than. the or
,lir yhol xrhf {c Nv hn
Island steamers. but In addition there
will be naptha launch Of the same
size as the whaleboats which will be
used to handle them between the ships
and shore. The boats will have about
six tons capacity, and will be six In
number. These Will be brought here
by sailing vessels, being now on the
way, and they will be sent forward to
Kauai at once.
The moorings are sufficient not only
for the usual sailing ship which plies
In the Island trade, but as we'll for
steamer of 5000 tons. The chains are
Of the heaviest type for vessels Of that
tonnage, and it is aimed to make this
such that if in time the car
rying trade Is to be given over from
the sailing ships to the tramps, there
will be no danger for one Of that type
hooking onto the moorings.
Captain Goodman said last evening:
1T may result that the various plan
.ations which are so located that sail
ing ships can safely lie off and trans
fer cargo and load sugar direct, viii all
be provided for the safe mooring OF
The ships. In the case Of Makaweli 1T
