THE K11AUEA.
THE Ku.AUEA
Islands vessel, yesterday.
(From Thursdays Advertser)
(From Thursdays Advertiser)


people swarmed over the sides to greet
the captain and purser and othern
aboard. They found fine looking ship,
with appointments in the stateroomB
which vie with those aboard many
transpacifc liners. The sweep of the
main and hurricane decks was found
to be an agreeable feature. There are
five decks.
Each of the thirty-four staterooms
has two metal enamel berths, and, in
addition, there is a sofa which can be
converted into n berth. The cabins,
dining-room, social hall and smoking
room are finished pleasingly, hardwood
and the upholstering being harmonious
ly blended. The vessel is lighted by
electricity and a powerful searchlight
has been installed over the pilot house.
The vessel is an oil burner and the
engines provide power for winches
and all the mechanical devices.
The Kilauea has displacement of
1900 tons and speed of fifteen knots.
The vessel has fuel oil capacity of
10 tons. There is fine room aboard
set apart for directors of the company
The dining-room is located on the
upper deck, an arrangement which has
made the Mauna Loa popular.
The Kilauea passed through two
storms and behaved nicely. On leav-
ing the Golden Gate a storm was en-
countered and the vessent went south
to find better weather.
President Kennedy, acting as purser,
occupied the handsome directors room
on the trip. Charles Lynch of the Ma
una Kea was chief engineer On the
trip and the steward IS department was
presided over by Chief Steward Pange-
Imam, who is one of the Oldest employees
of the company.
The Kilauea came to Honolulu under
charter to the Matson Navigation Com
pany and has about 900 tons of cargo
to discharge. The vessel, with the
cargo discharged, goes back to the
! owners.

The old wooden-walled Inter-Island
flagship Mauna Loa which has been
familiar seamark along the coasts of
Kona and Kau for many years had the
honor of conveying the new iron-walled
flagship Kilauea into port yesterday
morning, when the latter arrived on
the maiden trip from San Francisco.
II was a striking contrast between the
old and the new, for although the Ma.
una Loa is representative of the type
and durability of her day, the Kilauea
represents all that is modern in the
building of seagoing steamship.
The Kilauea came down from San
Francisco without mishap and when
she entered the harbor her build was
the source of much favorable comment,
the overriding of the bow which gives
a partial yacht.like contour being espe-
cially commended.
The Kilauea entered the harbor to
the accompaniment of footing whistles
from all the steam craft in the harbor
and to the welcoming notes of the Ha-
waiian band, led by Kapellmeister Ber-
ger. The vessel came into the harbor
swiftly and, under the able hand of
Capt. William Freeman, was locked
handily at the old Matson wharf, foot
of Nuuanu avenue. Captain Freeman,
the senior commander of the Inter.
Island fleet, who should now be called
Commodore Freeman, pronounced the
Kilauea splendid seaboat, comment
in which he was joined by President
James A. Kennedy of the Inter Island
company, who came down as purser.

aboard was young McGregor, son of
the head of the Union Iron Works OF
San Francisco, which built the steamer

notes are of more Importance, for as
Prof. A. Weismann has remarked, re-
ferring to the duration of life In birds
There is less exact knowledge upon this
subject than We might expect, consider
ing the existing number Of ornithologists
and pathological societies, with their
numerous publications" The examples
given by the writer of the above notes
are white trumpeter cock % years, a
blue cropper hen % years, another cropper
30 years. OF turtle doves there are
numerous records of over 20 years, while
one Is said TO have reached the age of
81 years. We may compare this with
the records for other species of birds
given by Weismann in the appendix of
his essay on The Duration Of Life"
Thus canaries in captivity attain an age
of from 10 to IL years, while ravens have
lived for almost 100. Parrots are known
to have exceeded 100. and a golden eagle
