KILAUEA PROBABLY REPAIRED HERE
No Need to Take Steamer to the Coast,
Says Pres acknowledgement
Sails this Afternoon

BY the latter part of next week the
Inter-Island boats, which have been
running on a temporary schedule
owing to the accident to the MEuna
Kea and the necessary repairs, Will
be back on their regular runs with
the Mauna Kea in service betw cen
Hilo and this port. The steamer has
been overhauled and painted and is
now at the Matson wharf receiving
the last touches and taking on the
stores and equipment for the regular
outward voyage Tuesday. The Kinau
will not be in in time to take her reg
ular run, so the Mauna Loa will have
to go out Tuesday on the Kinau's
run, but the old schedule will be in
force by the latter part of the week.
President Kennedy Of the Inter
island denies the rumor that the XII
lauea is to go to the Coast for re-
pairs in the near future.
I'VE have no intention of doing any
thing with the Kilauea," said he this
morning, until We have installed the
new boilers in the Mauna Loa, and it
will probably be four or five months
before we are ready to consider the
Kilauea's case. Up to the present
time 1 have not given this work the
least consideration. There is no reason
why we should send the Kilauea to
the Coast, when we can do the work
here just as easily and just as well,
and personally l should be in favor
of having it done here if the ques-
ton were to come up, AS it is, no
one has suggested that We send her
to the Coast and there is no basis
for the rumor."
The Kilauea's damaged plates could
be replaced by ordering duplicates
from the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, where the steamer was
built, and having the work of repairs
done on the marine railway. The
opinion seems to prevail here that
the steamer is too big for the drydock,
but this is without foundation, for the
Kilauea was on the ways few weeks
before he Nauna Kea's accident,
when the Tnter-Island people were
making an examination of the dam
age done 70 her bottom, and she Is
tighter by 100 tons than the Mauna
Kea.
President Kennedy has not yet def
lnitely arranged for the installation of
the Nauna Loas new boilers, now
stored in the Mohican, but he said
this morning that with the sheer-legs
erected and everything in readiness
FOR the operation the work might be
begun at almost any time
ROUGH SEAS FOR KlLAUEA.
According to the report of the Inter
island steamer Kilauea, which arrived
this morning from Hilo and way ports,
the trade winds are again blowing
strong on the windward side OF the
islands and have stirred up a heavy
swell outside of Hilo and in the wind
ward channel The Kilauea reports
the Kauai at Hakalau, the Maui at
Papaaloa, the Kaiulsni at Paauhau,
the Wailele at Honokaa, the Niihau at
,Ionoipu and the Claudine and Mika-
hala at Lahaina.
In bound the Kilauea brought 1925
feet of ohia lumber, horses and a
large cargo of miscellaneous island
products.
