Memory Of South Sea Disaster
Names denoting periods of time,
such as Aeon, Age, Century, Cycle,
Fra, Time, and Period, have In the
past been applied to cargo steamers
Of the Australian Steamship formerly
Howard SMITH line The latest addi-
ton to the fleet is called Aeon, a for
fner vessel of the line bearing that
name having left her bones on one of
the islands IN the South Pacific ocean,
when on voyage some years ago
from San Bfancisco TO Australian
Ports. Her new narnesake, which is
intended principally for the con1panys
coastal trade. is a wholesome-looking
'freighter" of 1862 tons gross, having
a lightweight capacity equal TO 600
tens. She was built at Middlesbor-
pugh, and is replete with all the latest
appliances and conveniences for facili-
tating the handling Of cargo, and its
safe transport Her fuel consumption
is very economical, the voyage to Mel
bourne from marlborough direct
having been accomplished at an ex-
penditure of only 25 tons Of coal per
day, an average speed of 10 knots an
hour being recorded. On her trial trip
the Aeon steamed at the rate of II -
knots per hour Captain Cato, who
is in charge of the vessel, reports hay-
ing experienced a remarkably fine
weather passage, free from exciting
incident.

c. A. Liners Will Need Fuel Oil
With the addition or two big new
liners in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
service, increased demand for fuel oil
at the port of Honolulu is expected
will follow. The new Niagara, that
is understood to have sailed from Sgd
ney, n. S. W., on May G, and to call
at Auckland and Suva on the way to
Honolulu and Vancouver. is under
stood to have been fitted for the con-
sumption Of oil as well as coal for
fuel Owing to the scarcity of fuel
oil in Great Britain it is reported that
the Niagara made her first voyage out
ward as a coal burning vessel The
Niagara is due to arrive here on
May 20.
Hilonian Due on Monday
The absence of late wireless from
the Matson Navigation freighter Hilo-
Man leads the local agents to believe
that the vessel, from Seattle and Ia
coma. will reach this port on Monday
The HiIonian has cargo for
Port Allen, Kahului. Kaanapali, and
