conan, which was scheduled to sail
from Seattle and Tacoma for Homo
lulu March 9, will not touch at those
ports but will come here direct from
San Francisco. The next vessel of
this line from the Sound ports will
therefore be the Virglnian which sails
March 20. There has been some de-
lay in the overhauling which the Ari-
conan has had in the Hunters Point
drydock and as a sugar cargo is await
ing her here 1t was thought best to
cut out the Sound ports and bring her
direct to Honolulu.
The Columbian of the same line
leaves Kahului tonight for Kaanapali
where she will stay three days taking
on sugar. Thence she goes to Hilo
where she will be held four days and
then directly to Salina Cruz, March
Z. The Columian will take about 12,-
600 tons of sugar out of the islands
this trip and about $50 tons of pine
apples.
HARTMAN's MULE-PoWER CRUISE
Captain Hartman of the Pioneer
gave an exhibition in the harbor this
morning to while away dull day
for the waterfront fraternity in the
art of running a mule-power craft.
The doughty skipper Yves the witness
to an accident to & large mule in full
harness which bolted over the Hack
field wharf and was forced to take a
prolonged swim among the wharves
and small vessels before he was final
ly rescued and landed. With an in
stinct for adventure the captain had
a boat lowered and manned. When
he came up with the perverse mule
he made fest and ordered his crew to
row for landing. This was not near
" so easy as it sounded, for in spite
Of the best efforts Of the oarsmen the
mule towed them about in erratic
courses and the captains stentorian
"sta'boards" and ports" attracted
large audience of seamen and ships
satellites who we're more than ready
to comment and advise. Finally when
the situation became desperate, just
as the mule was about to take the
boat under the wharf into a labyrinth
of piles, some one shouted to Captain
Hartman to take the beast by the
!, oil N
leaning out over the bow he turned
the animals head from side to side
and steered him successfully into port.
