gers between two American ports ex-
cept under a fine of 5000 for each pas
senger.
The Honolulu Iron Works was in a
great hurry for men and San Francisco
was the only place where they could be
secured. The next regular steamship
sailing for the Coast was the Mariposa
on the 9th instant The company
could not afford to wait until that time
and as the Gaelic sailed on the 18th and
it meant a great saving to get to the
Coast and secure the needed men that
much sooner, it was decided to pay the
fine and send two men on the Gaelic.
Kennedy and Scott accordingly tool
passage on the Gaelic, their tickets
costing them 1915 apiece.
This incident is an indication of how
greatly a more frequent steamship ser
vice is needed between here and Sar
Francisco.
