New Matson Schedule.

new MaISCQ ScheQule.
The Hilo Herald publishes the follow
ing steamship schedule for the Matson
line, having obtained its information
from a letter sent to Hilo by Captain
Matson. The schedule under this ar
rangement, gives Hilo instead of Homo
lulu the first port of call for the Lur-
line, leaving only the Wiihelmina tor
the direct run from San Francisco to
Honolulu The Enterprise and Hilonian
are placed on the San Francisco-S Seattle
Honolulu run. The Herald S statements
follow:
a private letter from Captain Mat
son, received here last week, gives the
details of the changes in the running
Of the steamships OF the Matson NavI-
cation Company, which are running TO
these Islands. Under the new arrange
ment the vessels Will run on the follow
ing routes:
Lurline-From san Francisco to Hilo,
to Honolulu, 10 San Francisco.
Hlonian-From San Francisco to the
Sound, to Honolulu, TO Port Allen
(kauai). to Hilo.
Enterprise-F'rom San Francisco to
the Sound, to Honolulu, to San Fran
cisco
1t viii thus be seen that the Lurline
and the Hilonian viii be the Hilo boats
instead of the Enterprise, which will be
the Honolulu boat.
While nothing was said about the new
liner, Wilhelmina, il is believed that
she will be placed on the Honolulu run.

Echo of Sharks Voyage.
Jack London cruise in the Shark,
which started from San Francisco
April %, 1907, for circumnavigation of
the globe, was followed with consider
able interest, especially as from time
to time, during the succeeding months,
it was reported that the tiny craft
with all on board had been lost. But
all those gruesome stories proved false.
London returned to California from
Sydney, Australia, last June, but Mar
tin Johnson. his cook and Kansas
University man, continued the voyage
on the original vessel, and has reached
Kansas City, after visiting in the mean
time the Philippines, China, Japan,
Borneo and most Of the countries of
Europe The original commander of
the expedition is now engaged in put
ting his adventures into literary shape,
but hardly any Of them will prove
greater marvels than the safe return
of the miniature craft from its expe-
riences in all sorts of treacherous seas.
The Shark is no more than launch
forty-fve feet long, with mast and
gasolene engine, so the voyages of
the Pinta, the Santa Maria. the Half
Moon, the 0nrust and some others may
cease to excite our special wonder, es-
pecially as the modern vessel in her
later stages of progress was directed
by an alfalfa pilot from the Sunfower
State.-Boston Transcript.
