ca on June n. The former is from
China station and the latter from the
Australian station.
These vessels will stay here about
eight days, The Kent will then pro
ceed to Hongkong to resume her
place on the station, while the Chal-
lenger will go to Sydney, the head
quarters Of the Australian station.
The Challenger is used for training
Australians who wish to become sea-
men in the British navy, or rather she
has on board a number of Australians.
but it is doubtful whether she will
be used for this purpose any more,
as the commonwealth will want her
men to man her own ships, the Yarra,
the Parramatta and the cruisers that
are being built.
The presence of these vessels in
these waters should increase materi-
ally the population of Honolulu, for
on the Kent there is an approximate
complement Of 67S men, while the
Challenger's complement is AIS. There
is collier accompanying them. Both
vessels will fill up with the coal that
she has on board for them before they
start on their long journey to china
and Australia. The crews of these
boats will no doubt participate in the
Fourth of July celebrations.
