WATERFRONT NOTES

THE American Hawaiian steamer
Arizonan arrived at Hilo last Friday.
going direct from San Francisco and
Honolulu, instead OF first going to Ka.
anapali and Kahului. This was done
on account Of the fact that the Amer.
can.Hawaiian was very anxious to re.
cover the big steel girder for the Ho.
nolii bridge, which was dropped over.
board when being discharged from the
Alaskan. The Arizonan had a diver
on board. who went down for the lost
girder. and he evidently knew his bus
mess. for within two hours after he
had started work the girder had been
located. tackle had been rigged. the
steel beam brought mp and placed on
the deck of the steamer to wait for
lighter to take 1t ashore. Tho Ari-
conan took sugar and left for Kahu
lui on last Monday. She also took
sugar ut the Maui port and then com.
pleted her cargo at Kaanapali.

THE SUPERSEDING OF British Of
ficers by Japanese on the Japanese
trans-Pacific liners, the officers being
removed one by one. generally at the
Coast end of the run, Is said to be
due to the pressure exerted by Japan

manning OF Japanese vessels entirely
by Japanese. The companies would
like to retain white captains and chief
engineers. hut will not be able to.
