A FORTNIGHT
OF SHIPPING

| Honolulu shipping continues dull as
| it will until the opening Of the sugar
season. There are very few vessels in
port although there have been a num-
| Der of arrivals and departures. Ships
are discharging very rapidly and sail
| ing about as fast as they arrive. The
usual number of ocean liners have called
at the port during the past two weeks
and the monthly transports have ar
rived and sailed east and west. A
new feature was the towing of the oil
| ship Marion Chilcott from San Fran
cisco to this port in order to avert an
oil famine. The experiment was very
| successful, the trip being accomplish
ed without accident. News was re-
ceived during the past week that the
big liner Manchuria will not call at
this port on her next round trip. Dur
ing the ensuing week there will be two
| steamers to San Francisco. one each
to Australia, Victoria and the Orient.
Following are the arrivals and de-
partures during the past two weeks:
