Schedule With Little
Difficulty.
(From Thursday Advertiser)


When the Inter.Isand steamer Kill
auea left the wharf yesterday morning
at ten O'Clock and rounded the light
house, pointing out to sea in the di-
rection of Maui and Hawaii, the di-
rectors and officials of the company,
who were all on the wharf to take
notice, turned their faces cityward and
looked greatly relieved, for upon the
bridge of the steamer was Captain
Freeman, commodore of the fleet, one
of the Oldest and ablest men in the list
of captains, and they felt that moral
victory had been won when the tired
mariner directed the movements of the
steamer.
All the steamers are moving in and
out as if such a thing as a revolution
in the personnel had not taken place
within the past week. The company
has enough old men, formerly mates, to
assume command of the vessels while
! their places are filed with mariners
! brought here from the mainland.
Vice President Mclean stated YES.

disaffected ones and who is not now

afternoon for Hawaii, but will be in
command of another master. just

by the company. The Helene is ex
F, pected in from the Hawaii coast this
week
The situation yesterday simmered
down to a basis where the company
felt easier The masters and mates
who lost their jobs as a result of Their
stand toward the company, had FIRE
quent meetings yesterday morning nj
their society rooms. Their faces were
scanned with anxiety, and none wore
happy look. They are out of the com
pany's service, and most of then
realize they will stay out.
None have approached the company
to ask for reinstatement, although some
of the company's officials have heard
indirectly that three OF four men ar,
anxious to get back on the payroll
stating to friends that they were mis-
led, and they now realize the enormity
of their personal loss, loss which re
fleets upon their families.
The company feels satisfied that thu
public is being well served The YES
sells moved ont on time. The move
ments of each were observed by fed
eral inspectors and postoflice officials
both G. w. Carr, of the railway mai
service, and Captain Howe, of the in
spector's department, being on the
wharf to watch the departure and
handling of the vessels. One is inter
ested in the manner in which the mas
tiers and mates handle the vessels; the
other as to whether the United States
mails are being moved promptly.
On Tuesday afternoon while Captain
Z Naopala was maneuvering his steamer
away from the wharf on the Molokai
run, man on the wharf shouted to the
captain:
You're traitor, that what you
are!'
Captain Naopala was not without his
friends on the wharf and Immediately
several Hawaiians closed around the
shouter and told him to keep quiet and
respect the old mariner. There was no
more shouting
