q service to the Hawaiian ISLANDS with
: fhe first part OF the new year, may
make a strong bid for the business Of
transporting immigrants from Portu-
gal and Spain 10 the territory, accord
ing to advices received at Honolulu.
- The Kosmos Line, which is believed
will in a way supplant the service
heretofore maintained by the Harrison
( Direct Steamship Company is also to
) oren an Office at this port on or about
the first of 1913.
Practically all details for call of at
least four large freight steamers in
the, Kosmos service at Honolulu dur
ing 1913 were settled at the time Of
the visit of Senator Norman Watkins
General Superintendent for the Hawai-
fan Fertilizer Company, who spent
some weeks on the coast, In perfecting
arrangements for the advent of the
Z Kosmos line into this field.
The first vessel in the Kosmos serv-
Zee is expected to call here along in
April, followed each three months by
q steamship of large tonnage. 1t is
Z stated that the directors OF the COM
pany have given a guarantee of al
! least four steamers for Honolulu dur
.Bg 1913.
Most OF these vessels are we'll adapt
ed to the transportation OF steerage
passengers. The Kosmos Line is de-
clared, does a big business In both
messengers and freight between Eu-
rope and the South American ports.
The route to be persned by the ves-
sells that are scheduled to visit Homo
.f1l fr,,Y,a 10
or Antwerp thence to Leith and Lon
don, and following long steaming
radius along the east coast of South
America into the western ocean, the
vessel may call at one or more ports
along the coast of Chile there to take
ON shipments OF nitrates destined for
Honolulu.
The Kosmos steamers are to pro-
coed to the coast following the dis
charge of nitrates at this port The
Pacific ports are believed will include
San Diego, San Francisco, and then to
Prget Sound.
In returning to Europe the Kosmos
liners II is said win make no stops
along the East coast of South Ameri-eI
co but will proceed to the Continent
end the United Kingdom.
That the Kosmos Line will open its
cwn Office at Honolulu is believed GER
. tain in local shipping circles.
The vessels now engaged in a four
weekly service under the Kosmos
house flag, which liners are trading
along the west coast of South and
North America, are Of varying tom
mage.
In the employment of Kosmos Line
steamers in carrying Portuguese or
Spanish immigrants from Europe to
hawaii, it is predicted that material
saving in the heavy expense attached
10 this class of business might be. af-
fected.
Raising the Newport. 49,. .a
The salvage steamer Salyor, Cap
tain Stratford, with Captain w. II.
Logan and the divers and salvage crew
OF the British Columbia Salvage Com
pany of Esquimalt, have reached Bal
boa and are now engaged in raising
the sunken Pacific Mail liner New
port. The work is we'll under way, ac-
cording to cable advices received by
the marine department of the Cham
Der OF Commerce The Newport,
which had arrived at the canal port
from San Francisco with large cargo
of machinery, was lying alongside the
dock about a month ago when the big
warehouse collapsed and toppled over
two Cotton cranes which fell on the !
deck of the steamer. The Newport
gradually settled and went down in
thirty-five feet of water.
Considerable discussion is heard
concerning the lack of proper salvage |
facilities at this port. With the ex-
ception of the Whitelaw Wrecking
Company, which operates the wrecker
Greenwood and Wovides salvage
tackle, there are no other companies |
able to undertake distant salvage
job. The only available vessel to as
sist in raising the Newport was the |
Salyor, and she had to make a long
run of 1000 miles from the north to
Panama. She was sixteen days on the !
yoyage.-Chronicle..
