afternoon and will get away for Samoa
before tomorrow. About August %
the Princeton will leave Samoa, and,
according to Commander Lieut.. Little
of the Nanshan, planned originally to
go only to Hilo, II coal could be Sc
cured there. The Princeton went
aground some time ago and has a bad
hole in her hull only temporarily
patched
Lieut.. Little inquired of A. P. Tay-
lor of the Promotion Committee con-
corning coaling facilities at Hilo and
was referred by Mr.. Taylor to J. E.
Sheedy of the mter-Island..
Mr.. Sheedy is out of the city today
but it is understood he also took up
with Lieut. Little the possibility OF
putting the Princeton into drydock
here for repairs The Nanshan will
convoy the Princeton on her return
trip.
Norman E.. Gedge, secretary and
treasurer of the Inter-lsland and to
whom all applications for coal are re-
ferred before acted upon, said he had
nothing direct from navy officials. He
said that Saturday a shipping man
mentioned the matter off-hand to him.
Mr.. Gedge said that under normal
conditions any ship could coal safely
at Hilo but stated that arrangements
had to be made in advance at Homo
lulu. -
Il can't understand why the Prince
ton should choose Hilo as coaling
port instead of Honolulti, he said, 1T
Is only a.few hours longer run to Ho-
nolulu and that loss in time would
easily be made up in the speed with
which ship can be coaled here,
rather than in Hilo.'"
