FAST WORK
WITH SUGAR

when the Helene takes her load
of sugar away we win begin to have
breathing room,' said Captain Clark
Yesterday, as he surveyed the piles of
sugar sacks stacked up to the roof in
the Oceanic warehouse. For some time
there has been a glut of sugar in the
big building, but the vessels that have
arrived within the past few days are
gradually diminishing the stock so that
the men now have room to move
around in.
There has been some very fast work
done in loading some of the sugar
packets recently. The steamer Ala
media loaded 10000 bags of Honolulu
refined sugar at the Railway Wharf
the other day and some of the men
who were loading her were somewhat
ticlzled over the fast work. But this
performance was thrown in the shade
by the record made by a gang of men
under Stevedore Kane, who loaded
sugar into the Irmgard at the Fort
street wharf Monday. From 7:15 a. m.
to 2:15 p. m. II, $50 bags were put in the
barkentine's hold by the men. There
were q men in the hold and
| 20 men with trucks. The men who
pass the sugar over the side were re-
! lieyed every fifteen minutes, working
at trucking while not passing the bags.
After loading this sugar the vessel
went over to the Channel Wharf and
took 1000 bags more.
It is reported also that the bark San
tiago loaded $1,000 bags in one full day
| last week This is fast work but it
will take some time to get away with
the piles of sugar that have been ac-
cumulating in the local warehouses:
The steamers Oregonian and Nebras-
kan, due this week, will help make
| hole in the enormous store piled up in
the railway warehouses.
| Steamers Galore.
| Unless the rough weather keeps them
back, today should be a red letter one
| in the way of steamer arrivals. Among
| those due are the Americana Hawaiian
liner Oregonian from Seattle, reported
| off port last night, the Canadian-Aus-
| tralian liner Miowera from the Colo
MES on her way to Victoria, the trans
ports Sherman and Sheridan from Ma
Mia, and the Buford from Portland.
| Tomorrow the Nebraskan is due from
San Francisco and Saturday the 40
rangi will be in from Victoria.
Edward May Arrives.
| The bark Edward May was sighted
off Koko Head last evening and came
flying along Waikiki beach in a race
with the sun so as to make the offing
before sunset and get the doctor. She
made her anchorage in time and was
inspected. The tug did not go out, but
she will be towed in the first thing this
morning. She is seventeen days from
San Francisco and has a light load.

ameda, will sail for San Francisco at
