FIRST OF NEW SUGAR CROP
READY.
The first sugar of the 1907 crop Will
be taken out from Kaanapali by the
Americana Hawaiian S. S. Nevadan,
which arrived here from the Coast on
Monday night, coming inside the har-
Dor yesterday morning. She Will finish
discharging her Honolulu cargo of 1000
tons on Thursday or Friday, when she
will sail for Kahului, for which port
she brings 1000 tons of cargo. From
there she proceeds to Kaanapah, where
the first of the new sugar crop is walt
ing At Hilo she will take on cargo
and sail direct for the Coast.
on Sunday morning the transport
Sheridan with her double tow was
sighted from the Nevadan, although no
signals were exchanged. The vessels
were seen when $40 miles out. Appar-
entity all was well. Some hours after
wards the S. S. Enterprise was pass
u
tug Fearless, which had accompanied
her for that purpose should her ser
vices be required, which was evidently
soon the case, for when sighted the
steamship and her tow were only oat
go miles.
IN addition to the 1000 tons Of mixed
cargo. the Nevadan brought in 800 hogs
and twenty head of stock for this port,
the animals arriving in good cond1-
ton.
In accordance with the new policy of
the MISUNDERSTANDING Company, the
kanaka sailors among the crew were
paid off here yesterday, the eight men
receiving something like $500 between
them These men have signed on
again. certain guarantee that they
are well satisfied with their work and
treatment aboard.
The company are willing to ship a
full Hawaiian crew for each of their
vessels on this run, finding the men
good sailors and steady and satisfac-
tory in their work. In this connection
it has been proposed to form local
organization among the Hawaiian sail
ors in order that there will always be
found new men to replace those who
may want to lay off for one Or two
voyages. With such an organization
ready to supply the men needed, the
company would. it is understood, en-
ploy the Hawaiians altogether on their
vessels and make Honolulu the port
for the paying off of the men.
Captain Greene states that he is
well satisfied with those few Hawai-
ians who have been members of his
crew. For their especial benefit the
vessel takes on here enough poi to sup
ply them for the round trip, it having
been found that this article of diet
keeps well when put on ice.
