Captain Kinder said yesterday to an
Advertiser man: THE Mongolia is the
finests ship I know Of and she is as
near perfect as a passenger steamship
can be. Everything on the trip went
satisfactorily and her engines are o. X
She rides smoothly. For instance, in
my cabin there are two Morris chairs
and table which are not clamped to
the floor. They were never shifted out
of their positions all the way from
Norfolk. by any movement of the yes
sell / am entirely satisfied with her. ;"

Navy, and now manager of the Ha-
waiian Electric Company, who returned

to a reporter as he boarded the vessel:
You may say for me that the Mon
golia is one of the finest ships / have
ever travelled in. Her stateroom ac-
Communications are the best and the ta-
bic is excellent. Her engines worked
splendidly and she is certainly credit
to the American merchant marine, and
to the Pacific trade, which is fortunate
in securing the vessel.
