NEW NAVIGATION.
The coal vessel Kineo, which began
unloading its 5000 tons of cargo at Ka-
hului on Monday. is a new departure
in the way of vessels circumnavigat-
ing the earth. The Kineo is a new
five masted schooner. having a regis
tered tonnage of 1868 tons, and was
built at Philadelphia, from which city
she sailed to Manila, and from there
to Australia, and thence to the Hawai-
ian Islands. she will take sugar at
kahului and sail to Delaware Break
water via Cape Horn, thus completing
her world circuit. Previously it has
been the custom to send square-rig>
ged ships, whose hulls stand high up
out of the water, around the stormy
cape. The experiment of sending Il
schooner sitting low in the water with
it's large sails and fore-and-aft rig is
now to be tested by the Kineo. Some
seafaring men prophesy disaster from
the fierce gales and currents to be en-
countered in weatherins the Horn.
They say .-square-rig' should be
used on deep-water voyages and the
''fore-and-aft' for coasting and short
trips. However. the Kineo being a
schooner is less expensive to handle,
requiring crew of only II men, while
a ship would necessitate the employ
nent of from "A to 81 sailors.
TRAIN DERAILED.
Last Saturday the morning passenger
train of the kahului r. r. Co., wIi4c44
is due in Paia at SOP a.. M, was
thrown off the track just outside of

cause of the mishap, which resulted
in no harm except sf1ght bruises for
the several japanese passengers. The
two coaches were overturned by, the
engine leaving the track. This old
track, where the derailment occurred.
is now abandoned. the trains running
mauka to the new station now partly
completed, not far from the plantation
stables
