FEARLESS LEAVES NEXT WEEK
The tug Fearless returned from Hils
Friday afternoon. brining in two
the tug Intrepid, which is to replace
her I'm the harbor. The Intrepid had q
full crew aboard, the breaking OF 9
piston rod in her engine making II
necessary for her to be flowed here, al
though she entered the narbor under
| her own power.
The Intrepid is about one-half the
size of the Fearless and has a claimed
power OF 400 horse power, compared
with the 700 of the larger boat. She
is by no means as attractive a boat as
the Fearless and In the exchange the
shipping interests OF Hawaii are getting
decidedly the worst of 1t. The exchange
of crews will be made at once, and the
Fearless. under command of Captain
Dick seike, will depart for the Coas'
within the next few days.
On the trip TO Hilo the Fearless en-
countered strong head winds and heavy
seas, against which she had to bucl
flor twenty-three hours. Returning with
her tow. she came down In twenty.
one hours, showing the delay Of the
weather. Her funnel is coated with the
brine nearly to the top.
LOOKING FOR THE sLoCUM.
The arrival Of the army tug slocum
transport Sheridan to the Coast, is
looked for today by the officials Of the
quartermaster's department. She sailed
from San Francisco on October 81. and
was passed when two days out by the
s. S. Ventura. The Slocum was max
ing good time when sighted.
| A large quantity Of coal has been
sacked up here ready to be taken on
as deck load by the tug for use
| during the heavy tow back to San
| Francisco.
| KINAU HAS SMALL CROWD.
| The steamer Kinau brought a much
smaller crowd of passengers than usu.
al from Hilo and way ports yester.
day. Among those returning from the
big island were: Bishop Restarick and
Miss Restarick Perley L. Horne. prin.
cipal of the Kamehameha Schools. DR.

| MANCHURIA AND MONGOLIA.
Il Nothing definite has been decided We
in regard to repairing the liners Mon
golia and Manchuria. The cruise
South Dakota will be placed on Hunt
ers Point drydock in few days ant
the survey Of the Manchuria must wal
until the warship comes off the bis
basin. The Mongolia Is still alongside
the Pacific Mail wharf awaiting wore
from London as to whether the under
writer's will allow her to make a few
voyages with only temporary repairs.
The Mongolia escaped internal DAM
age and could be patched UP to the
satisfaction of underwriters and Gov
eminent inspectors in n comparatively
short time. She would be perfectly
seaworthy and could make several voy.
ages between here and the Orient while
permanent repairs were being made or
the Manchuria. This would relieve th'
situation considerably as far as the
Pacific Mail Company is concerned. ant
it is thought likely that the underwrit.
ers will sanction the plan.
II permanent repairs for the Mon
golia are insisted upon 1t will be two
months before the necessary materia,
| can be got here from the East.-Call.
CALIFORNIA; THIRD ATTEMPT.
Late yesterday afternoon the ar
mored cruiser California returned from
a run outside the Heads, where "a third
attempt was made to make TWENTY-FIVE
knots or better on four hours endur,
ance and speed trial run. The Califor-
mia left an anchorage off the Union
| Iron Works late in the forenoon, and
| ran to n point some distance Off the
Farallones. With weather and sea IA
vorable. the California started on a
course calculated to prove agreeable,
and had proceeded under full speed for
an hour and half. when the heating
of the journals of the port engine
caused the trial to be brought to an
end.
| The California is to go outside the
Heads again next Tuesday for another
at :empt at speed, under the direction
of the naval board appointed to con.
duct her trial. All the trouble thus fai
with the California has been with heI
port engines, and, according to Union
Iron Works officials. these defects will
be remedied before>she again goes to
sea. October %.
