The Hawaiian gazette., 1913-06-13

Joint Schedule No. 10, which en-
bodies on one sheet Of paper the re-
suits of the combined work of a namber
of steamship schedule experts employed
by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha and Pacific
Mail lines, has come to Honolulu with
an array of irregular sailings wonderful
to behold. Calculations on the basis of
this schedule indicate that il will be
three months before it settles down to
sanity and the new boat on the line,
the Hongkong Maru, is at last en-
sconsed in its own place.
OF more immediate interest is the
fact that the next incoming boat of the
line, the Siberia, will arrive next We'd
nesday instead of Tuesday. The mer.
chants exchange Of yesterday also re.
ports the Siberia as sailing from San
Francisco for Honolulu.
Following the Siberia there will be
n nine.day gap in the schedule, for the
next boat, tine China, will not leave the
Golden Gate until week from tomor
row, arriving here the following Friday.
Although the boat which has caused all
this havoc in the schedule, the Hong
kong Maru, is now in San Francisco, it
will not leave ON its first regular new
run until seven other boats have left, or
August -, according TO the new sched.
ule. At that time it will leave San
Francisco and arrive here on the same
day as the Korea, and will accompany
the larger vessel as far as Nagasaki,
,,rba t,.in Cnhg
at different ports. The return trip will
be made with the Hongkong one day
behind the Korea.
There are strange freaks on the
schedule. For instance, the Manchuria
leaves Honolulu on September 10 for
the Orient. The schedule takes 1t as far
as Hongkong and forgets it there. 1t
remains three weeks before it starts
back, by which time the Chiyo Maru
will have proceeded ahead of it. The
same thing happens to the Shinyo Maru,
while the boats have otherwise been re.
arranged from the order in which Ho.
nolulu has known them for years.
The result of this arrangement as far
as it appears, will bring the ships into
port in the following order:
Korea, Shinyo Maru Siberia, Chiyo
Maru, China, Manchuria, Nile, Nippon
Maru. Tenyo Maru, Mongolia, Persia
and Hongkong Maru, Owing to the ne
cessity of avoiding getting into each
port upon holiday or Sunday, the
Schedule will at no time see an equal
distance between the vessels, the ar.
rangement decided on appearing to be
first two days between boats, then five
or six, then two again, and SO forth.
Manila continues to be favored above
Shanghai.
Helene Breaks Mast.
Towing the heavy Hawaiian Dredg.
ing Company's dredge from Kahului to
Honolulu was not all roses for the In.
ter-lsland steamer Helene recently as is
best testified to by the presence of a
new stick in the steamer aft, The
strain of the dredge proved too much
for the old mast and by the time the
steamer and its tow made port il was
entirely out of commission.
The steamer, however, gains better
mast, to which the finishing touches
were put and on which the boom was
fixed yesterday afternoon as il Law al
