ors during the temporary occupation

CAPT. BRAY SHIPS
ALL THE CREWS

The movement on the part of shipping
houses of this city to place the ship
ping of crews for vessels in their
charge in the hands of Captain Bray
of the Sailors Home, has had a good
effect. The crimp has taken back
seat, at least for the present. Captain
Bray has secured crews for the Wills
cott Dirigo and the Foohng Suey. In
the case of the Dirigo, with shortage
of deep-water sailors, half of the crew
was made up of Hawaiians. Captain
Goodwin, however, is perfectly salts
fled with Hawaiians, having had them
on a previous voyage. All the vessels
sailed from the wharves straight out
to sea without having any trouble with
the crews.
