COLLIER nero MAY MAKE BUT
ONE TRIP TOPEARL HARBOR

The Nero arrived off the harbor
this morning. remaining for sufficient
time to take on Captain Nelson, now
special pilot for Pearl Harbor. and
also to permit DR.. Trotter and the
federal quarantine staff to grant the
vessel pratique.
Captain Kelton reports fair weather
on the trip. The Nero is no longer
classed as q fast steamer. The best
that she can do under ordinary con-
Editions is between nine and ten knots
per hoar.
The Nero once sailed the seas under
! the British colors At that time she
was known as the Whitgift, and has
been operated since 1895. when she
left the yards Of Thompson & Co. at
cumberland, Eng.
This is said to be the first visit
Of the collier at the port of Honolulu

The United States naval collier
Nero, an arrival for Pearl Harbor al
eight O'Clock this morning may make
but one trip from Puget Sound with
building material, is the prediction
freely made in local shipping circles.
The complete destruction OF the
Great dFydock at the Pearl Harbor
naval base. on Monday afternoon, to
which point the thousands of tons of
special sand in the Nero were con-
signed, is believed viii determine the
United States authorities in cancel
ling the charter for future trips of the
steamer as was first contemplated.
Captain w. j. Kelton, commander
of the Nero, was mighty surprised
navigator when informed for the first
time this morning of the disaster to
the big drydock. While the naval col
lier is equipped with wireless tele-
graph. but little information from the
outside world was received by the
operators during the thirteen days
steaming from Seattle, Wash.
The report that the drydock was
rendered useless through the giving
away Of the cemented bottom, proved
decided shock to the official staff
In the Nero. When the vessel left
Seattle, for the Hawaiian Islands il
was currently reported that the Nero
would be employed for some months
in the transfer Of thirty or more thou
sand tons of fine sand. to be used in
the construction OF cement for the
