MARINE

before going to San Francisco to be
remodeIed. She left her dock at 4:10
u. m for a run down to Ookala for
load of sugar. She is. expected to re-
turn about Thursday. on or about the
first of July the steamer will sail for
San Francisco to undergo repairs and
extensive alterations. Captain Ben
nett of the steamer Maui has been Sc
lected to command the Claudine on
her trip to the coast, Captain Parker
| taking command of the Maui, which
will take the Maui run while the Clau-
dine is away 1t is expected that the
Claudine will make the coast port in
about nine days.
Although the Claudine will closely
resemble the flagship Kinau when she
is rebuilt the two vessels are quite
different. The deck arrangements and
the superstructures of the two will be
almost Identical. The hulls, however,
are not alike. The stern of the Clau-
dine is cut under more, while the XII
nau's stern is much like that of the
Oceanic liner Alameda. So much does
she resemble that boat, in fact, that
the people around the Wilder wharves
call her the little Alameda" Some
peculiarities in the lines of the Clau-
line are explained when it is known
that she was originally much longer.
She was built in Glasgow and flew the
British flag for some time. She was
long and slender, with extremely grace
full lines. When she was bought by the
Spreckels interests it was found that
she was too long to easily maneuver
in Kahului and other island harbors, so
she was put in dry dock and thirty
five feet cut out of her amidships. The
bow and stern sections were then NOV
ed together and connected.
The trip of the CIaudine to San
Francisco reminds waterfront people
and others of her last voyage there, an
event famous in the annals of Hawaiian
history. The revolution that ended the
monarchy occurred on January 18th,
1893, and on the 18th at $3.50 a. m the
Claudine left for San Francisco with
the Annexation Commission, consisting
of Messrs. L. a. Thurston, w. c. Will
der, w. r. Castle Jas. Marsden and G.
Carter. Great care was exercised lest
any stowaways should get aboard the
vessel, and wild rumors circulated
through town to the effect that sympa-
thisers of the Queen had hidden on the
steamer.
On that trip the Claudine was COM
manded by Captain E. F. Cameron, who
died recently. San Francisco was made
at a. m. January 2Sth, after run of
s days and 10 hours. The longest days
run was 269 miles, the fifth day out.
Head winds were encountered consider
able of the time. On the return trip
the Claudine left San Francisco on the
1st of February, making Honolulu on
the tenth after a miserable passage
with bad weather all the way. The
best days run was the last one of the
passage, 26S 1-2 miles. This time it is
expected that the Claudine will remain
at the coast for about two months.
MAUI SCHEDULE CHANGE.
