as the Golfers would probably coal
two ships and then have TO be coal
ed here, and each would require much
more time in the process than two bat
tIeships"
such a statement. could he hear it
would cure Admiral Evans rheuma-
tisn.
The facts are: The warships viii
leave the Coast with their bunkers
fun. At ten knots an hour the bat
tleships coal capacities average a
cruising radius of $500 miles and CON-
ing around the Horn from Hampton
Roads the economy observed in coal
consumption made their average
bunker capacity good for 1000 miles.
An average of but eighty-five tons Of
coal per day, per vessel of the sixteen
battleships, was consumed in the great
voyage from Hampton Roads TO Mag
dalena Bay. At ten knots per hour,
full allowance. cruising radius of $500
miles, III tons of coal per day would
be consumed.
The fleet leaves San Francisco on
July and Will take nine days COM
ing, at ten knots per hour, and, at Ill
tons per day per ship, for the sixteen
big battIeships. 1884 tons of coal
would be consumed. Or, at the rate
coal was used on the round the Horn
trip, 1920 tons would be used.
At the rate of Ill tons per day. with
cruising radius of $500 miles. at that
rate of consumption, the battleships
can travel thirty-four days. SO it is
not likely that the GOLFERS with the
half of a fleet off Lahaina viii have
to confine their generosity to two bat
tIeships, particularly as it is expected
there are to be six Golfers accompany
ing the meet with between $1,000 and
10000 tons of coal among them, more
than all the sixteen battleships will
consume between san Francisco and
Honolulu.
There is really no necessity of the
fleet coaling here at all, but since this
is an American port and directly en-
route to southern destinations, the re-
plenishing of bunkers for fuel con-
sumed in the first stage of the trans
pacific voyage is reasonable and pre-
cautionary.
Incidentally, the coaling from coll
iers off Lahaina may be with the idea
to finish coaling within four of the
seven days allotted here. TO allow the
men of the fleet opportunity to come
ashore.
The Lahaina squadron, if half of the
feet is coaled in the lee of Maui, will
join the fleet off this port, as soon as
it has been fed from the golfers.
SHIPPING NOTES.
The bark Kaiulani, instead of rounc-
