Shipped Men BelowzPar.
The Sailors Union, which is supposed
to be making such a strong fight for
standard wages, shipped six men aboard
the American ship Charles E. Moody
for the Sound on Saturday last, at the
rate of S35, whereas the rate for which
they generally hold out is $40
This was not generally known on the
waterfront until yesterday. When it
was known it occasioned a great deal
of comment not only among captains
but among sailors.
! 1t is said and it is apparent that those
engaged in supplying captains with
crews, other than the union men, are
doing such a rushing business that they
have compelled the union men,, to come
down on their rates.
well-known shipping master said
yesterday that the Sailors Union was
fast losing the influence which it had
gained over the Honolulu waterfront.
1T is a good thing, too" he said. "for
the union is responsible for adj the re-
cent trouble between the crews of yes
| sells coming from the colonies and their
masters. And they intend to keep on
with the conspiracy until all the cap
tains agree to go to them for crews.
But we are showing them thing or two
and 1 guess they'll get tired and give
up the game after while
Jerry Reynolds in Town Again.
Jerry Reynolds, musician, poultry
fancier, collector of curios, artist and
navigator and first officer of the fast
bark r. P. Rithet, is in town. The bark
arrived the other day, but it was
thought best not to announce Jerry s
presence until the vessel had been made
fast to the wharf and the crew had
started discharging the cargo. This
morning his friends will kindly take
leis to the Irmgard wharf. Some of
his friends found him out, however, and
| Charlie was the host. Everybody
knows Charlie" The latter opened
several small bottles and carved a
small bird or two in honor of the occa-
sion
Came in a Straight Line.
One of the straightest courses ever
taken by a vessel from San Francisco
was steered by the r. P. Rithet on her
last trip down. No sooner had Captain
Macphail left the Golden Gate than he
pointed the vessels head for Maui
| keeping on the straight line until he
was in the channel and had, perforce
to change his course to arrive off this
port.
