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
| fve-masted schooner. having a regis
tered tonnage of 1865 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 II 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 II
schooner sitting low In the water with
Its large sails and fore-and-aft rig is
now to be tested by the Kineo. Some
| seafarlng men prophesy disaster from
the fierce gales and currents to be en-
| countered I'm weathering 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 n
| schooner is less expensive to handle,
| recurring a crew OF only IL men, whiIo
ship would necessitate the employ-
ment of from "a to 81 sailors.
