The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-28

vous and physical energy of the whole
shipping force yesterday The only
arrival was the American Hawaiian
freighter Virginian, resplendent in |
new paint, which brought a cargo of !
New York and Puget Sound freight. |
The Virginian arrived early this morn
ing and reported trip without Incl !
dent or bad weather. She brings |
about $500 tons of general merchan-
disc from Seattle and other Sound |
ports and 1000 tons of freight from
New York, which left that port on
February 1 and February and was
transferred by way of Tehuantepec.
All traces of the accident which
the Virginian had with the Strath-
albyn have been effaced by the thor
ough overhauling she received in Sc
attic, a bit of work which cost in
this instance about $4,000 Captain
Green has with him this trip photo
graph of the other party to the COLI
sion showing her badly cut up by the
Virginian's bow.
The Virginian will leave here Mon
day night to collect a cargo of about
1000 tons of sugar in Port Allen, Ka-
hului and Hilo for Salina Cruz.
NIIHAU REPORTS HEAVY SEAS.
The InterIsland steamer Niihau ar
rived in port yesterday afternoon from
Punaluu, Honuapo and other island
ports with $500 bags of sugar and a
small shipment of general freight.
From Kappa to Kaanapali she car
ried six horses At Mahukona she
was delayed in her work for almost
two days on account of the limited
facilities for working and the pres
\ ence of the Maui and the schooner
Melrose in that port. Again at Hz-
nuapo there was delay because the
plantation had run short of hands to
work with the cargo and at one time
had only three men to handle the SUI
gar.
The Niihau reported that, while the
weather was pleasant heavy seas and
strong winds made work at the open
ports difficult
HELENE BACK TO A & r. WHARF.
The lumber schooner Helene ar
rived here from Gray's Harbor with a
, cargo consigned to various parties,
which has made it necessary to do
, good deal of shifting about in the
harbor. The top of the lumber she
had on board was consigned to Allen
& Robinson, so it was deposited at
the Oceanic wharf. Then she moved
FOYER to the railroad wharf and today
she reaches a second Allen & Robin
son stratum, so will move back to
their wharf and wait until the S. c..
Allen moves out and makes a place
for her.
The r. p. Rithet shifted across to
the railroad wharf yesterday after
noon, and in getting out of the
Oceanic slip bumped into the Makura
stern on. No apparent damage was
suffered by either vessel in the col
lision.
NIPPON MARU THIS AFTERNOON.
The Togo Kisen Kaisha liner Nip
pom Maru will arrive off port from
Yokohama and Asiatic ports this aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock, according to a
wireless message received by the
agents this morning She brings 500
tons of Oriental cargo for Honolulu,
1873 steerage passengers and the ORR
entail mail.
There are now four big cargoes of
freight on the Alakea wharf, and the
difficulty of handling what is now
piled up has prompted the officials to
have the Nippon Maru come into the
Oceanic wharf today, where she will
dock about 4:3O O'Clock this after
noon. The Nippon Maru will get away
for San Francisco tomorrow morning
at o'clock
SAILOR BOY BEING RlGGED.
The old schooner Sailor Boy, which
Captain Miller is equipping for his
trip to Central America, has had a
new false keel put on, also received
a thorough scraping and caulking, and
is now off the marine railway and has
been moved to the foot of Fort street,
where the masts and rigging will be
installed.
