bay by the dredging plan, are reaping

cific Gable service says that he has

the neighborhood of 80 years old. The
bark Melanchton is nothing but Il
hulk, and for over 40 summers she
breasted the waves. The Mokolu is
next in line. Her usefulness is nearly
over. The Kaera, the Rover and the
James Makee lay in the line with the
old Kaimaloa acting as rear guard for
the rotten row.
