7 see that there is talk of the need
of ferry-boat to meet big steamers
/ outside said Herb. Young, the diver,
yesterday. We'll, I'm fitting up the
schooner Malolo just for that pur-
pose"
The auxiliary schooner Malolo is ly-
ing al the Bishop wharf and a big lot
of work has been done on the vessel
to make her a roomy, comfortable boat
| with accommoda lions for large num-
Der of passengers. The decks have
been lowered, and the engine has been
put forward and the mainmast has
been unstepped and a towing bit in
stalled there.
| Young is putting a good deal of
money into his boat and he intends to
! make her figure in wrecking and
| salvage work, as well as general tow
| ing work in and about the harbor.
He intends to go after tourist trade
in this way. If strangers or others
went a good sea boat to go out fish
ing for sharks or other finny creatures
he stands ready to take the job. There
is a demand for a large, roomy boat
for shark hunting and Young expects
to catch the trade.
BRITISH JACKS UNIFORM.
1.-THE reformed uniform for the blue
Jackets says the London Mail, which
is to make the handyman of our navy
a different looking sailor lad, came in
to force at Christmas. The familiar
caps and blue collars will disappear,
and Jack will be given a peaked cap
and a jacket. Sailors have several OBJ
jections to the old-time picturesque
costume. The baggy trousers were Ii
able to catch in machinery, the open
jumper was nick-named the 'pneumo-
MIA catcher and the white straw hats
for hot weather We're difficult to stow
away. A jacket loosely fitting, COM
Portable around the neck, with turn
ed down collar and five buttons;
peaked cap, lIShl, NtHlLaIeu, Win
broad, fiat top anu, Tor use IN hot
weather, a cover to protect the back |,
of the neck; trousers moderately loose; |
this was the reconstruction favored by
the lower deck of the Home Fleet
Army and Navy Journal.
COMPLAINTS OF THE KINAU. |
Capt. w. A H. Conner, in charge |
of the Federal dredging contract, has |
complained to Lieut. S1attery, U. S. A, |
that the officers of the steamship XII !
nau kept her propellers going all Tues !
day forenoon, causing the water to |
wash out the bottom of the slip into !
the excavation made near the end of |
the slip by the Pacific. The Federel |
contract has nothing to do with deep
ening the slips, and therefore Captain
Common claims the action of the Kinau
was not in good form.
