ventures seems to have prompted the
owner of the Laf-A-Lot, b. r. Banning
of Pearl City and Honolulu, to remove
the cover from his racing craft and
make some preparations for taking it
to Pearl Harbor and turning it to
some practical use. At present the
warehouse where it is stored is the
Mecca for all who are interested in
ships that show speed and the lines,
gear and engines of the little launch
are being as solemnly discussed as the
unaccountable ways of turbiners. The
Laf-A-Lot is twenty-five feet long, fiat
bottomed and upholstered and
equipped like an automobile. 1t is
said that she will make sixteen knots
in protected water without difficulty.
At present her seams are gaping and
a forlorn black and white cat is rear
ing sickly brood of kittens beside
the driving shaft OF course, in this
case there is little incentive to ac-
ton, for there is certainly nothing
in these waters to race with the pow
er boat and she is not equipped for
cruising beyond the limits of a bay
or harbor, but the members of the
shipping fraternity, who are interest
ed in anything that floats, unite in la
menting the inactivity and decay of
a boat that should be an ornament to
island waters.

and the unusually large sugar cargo
of 745O tons, the Matson steamer Ho-
nolulan, Captain Bennett, steamed
away from the Hackfeld wharf this
morning at ten o'clock. There was the
usual lei display and Captain Berger
of the Hawaiian band created quite a
stir among globe-trotters and the sea-
faring folk by playing "Wenn Ich
komm, wenn Ich komm', wenn Ich
wieder, wieder komm," which tune
has been associated with the sailing
of the big liners from Hamburg and
Bremen ever since there were steam
ers and globe-trotters.
The Honolulan carried, in addition
to the sugar, smaller shipments of
pineapples, bananas and other island
products and also on her deck a
launch used here by the Hawaiian
Dredging Company which is now be-
ing returned to the Coast.
