KULAMANU II. ARRIVES FROM
THE COAST ON THE LURLINE
Cruiser Is Latest Thing in Combination Speed
and Comfort. Lowered Safely
Into the Water.

Vice Commodore Jaeger, of the Ha-
wall Yacht Club, returned on the Lur-
line yesterday morning and, on the
same steamer, was the sixty-twofoot
cuising launch, Kulamanu II, built for
Mrs. B. NJ. Allen by Swanson of
Tiburon. Mr.. Jaeger had been up to
the Coast to see to the launching and
bringing down to the Islands of the
beautiful craft.
There was quite a crowd of local
yachting enthusiasts on the Matson
soon as the gangplank was down and
there was a chance to get aboard,
there was quite a rush to get along
side the new vessel and take in her
lines and general looks.
Seated solidly in a wooden cradle
and dashed to the deck with double
.hawsers, the little cruiser had made
her voyage on the deck without any
chance of working or straining. She
was lifted from her deck seating in
short order and lowered over the side
of the Lurline into the water, with
out any signs. of fuss or hurry.

the same time, allow of considerable
speed.

of which the propeller protrudes, while
forward she comes in nice slope to
a slightly coucave bow.
Her deck plan is of the latest style.
