Starting originally. eleven years
$50. with one steamer a month. the
company has gradually increased its
aailings until II has a siX-day service
to san Diego from Salina cruz. Its
schedule for 1912 IL to be a five and
siy-day schedule, alternately. The
difference will amount to five more
steamers year In 1910 the company
maintained seven-day service.
The MissOurian, one of the largest
vessels In the triangular run, has sail
ed from Puget Sound ports and &C
'ording to advices received by G. T..
Morse, General Freight Agent the
MissOurian should arrive here on Feb
ruary 9Th. The schedule has been ar
ranged so that the big freighter will
sail from lIilo for Salina Cruz with
be wcen twelve and thirteen thousand
tons sugar on February l4th. The
MissOurian will call at kaanapali. Ka-
hului and lastly at liilO for sugar.
At the local agency Of the line, the
alleged congestion Of sugar at island
ports Is not taken seriously this morn

II Is true placed one vessel out of
commission Tor the trip but II Is point
ed on; that the Amer Hawaiian
steamers now Ell route to the islands
will be able to take care of all sugar
that is offered
The difficulties which befell the Vir-
sinian is said TO have been one of the
first in a long period of service. Local
shipping men attribute the cOmpany's
wonderful record for successful navi-
cation OF the steamers to the skilIful-
ness of the captains. They are all
mariners since bOyhood, tried and
proved. Considering that the Anne
rican-H Hawaiian ships frequently carry
Mathematician cargoes, the company's
care in the selection Of captains Is
easily understood.
With the first of the year, the Anne
rican- Hawaiian has inaugurated a new
routing Of its steamers. The four
smaller ones will be confined to the
coast run from Salina Cruz to San
Diego, San Francisco and Seattle, re-
turning via San Francisco direct to
Salina Cruz, emitting San Diego.
There Is a superstition among old
seaiaring men that boats with names
terminating with the letter "A" are
doomed to wreck and there are many
Instances TO bear out the idea, the
latest local instance being that OF the
steamer Santa Rosa, which went
ashore at Point Arguello, early this
year. While the American Hawaiian
company Is too practical a firm to be
Influenced by superstition, IL is believ-
ed that the company yielded 10 SEN
timent Of the sailors In giving nearly
all of the rest of its fleet names term
mating In the letter IN" such as the
Mexican. Missourian, Nebraskan, Co
lumbian, lsthmian, Alaskan, Virginian,
Neyadan and Arizonan. Its only ship
on the Pacific coast with name end
ing In "A" is Lyra, a chartered yes-
sci which does not make the southern
ports.
