Steamers
INCREASE COST
/. :. OF FUEL

A scarcity Of tonnage because OF the
European war is expected to affect
Honolulu as other parts Of the world
in the Importation OF coal and com
modities. Steam freighters which a
year ago were abundant at Newcastle,
N. 8. W., are in many instances en-
gagged in the transportation Of troops
and supplies from colonial ports to
Great Britain. A different type Of
vessel Is now available to bring fuel
to the Hawaiian Islands.
The high price Of charters, without
parallel In maritime history, has
brought about serious situation for
some OF the big shipping concerns
who now find It difieult to obtain
charters at any price. Numerous con-
Germs which operated fleets Of foreign
vessels before the commencement OF
the war, have since been compelled
to charter American vessels to care
for their constituents The situation
is not so serious to those who oper-
ated British steamers and vessels
which are still free to roam the seas.
The elimination of. the vast fleet Of
Germans has made It necessary to-
handle the cargoes of the neutral ma
tons In American, British or other
vessels flying the flags of countries
other than Germany and Austria. The
unusual demand combined with the
sudden activity in the movement OF
cotton from the southern ports to Eu-
rope has drained the Pacific coast Of
nearly every available steamer. and
even Of certain vessels which are
small and not suited for the transpor- .
tation of this commodity across the
Atlantic.
The, American owners or those con-
trolling local vessels by option or
charter are demanding every possible
penny for the use of their ships. Two
weeks ago one OF the coasters was |
placed ON the charter market and a |
rate of 1925 per day was demanded.
One week later when one Of the ship
pers came forward and prepared to
close the deal on this basis, he. was
informed that the rate had been
raised to $425 per day. Before the
war and under normal conditions this
vessel could not command more than
$t25 per day. IS Il Z. .s go, 81 y.

Liner WILL
VISIT THIS PORT
. AGAIN

The Pacific Mail liner Nile, com
Wandered by the British admiralty al
the beginning of the European war as
a troop transport, will not enter the
transpacific trade in the near future,
according to Herbert Allen, former
Waterman and quartermaster In the
vessel, who today passed through Ho.
nolulu to San Francisco as q passenger
In the Mongolia. =. =.
The Nile has figured In a series of
picturesque experiences. says Allen,
who, while here, displayed number
of interesting photographs taken by
him when with the vessel In the trans
port service. The Nile has completed
three voyages from South China and
the Indian peninsula TO Great Britain
and the Continent. The vessel would
hardly be recognized by Honolnlans
Who were familiar with its trim lines
and well ordered cabins. Many chang
es have taken place to accommodate
thousands Of East Indian troops sent
to the war zone.
Captain Lockett,l q well known Pa
cific Mail skipper, has retained COM
mand OF the, vessel. Allen says that q
number of other steamship men in
the. transpacific trade are with the
liner, The Nile is reported to have
had a number Of close calls from com
plete destruction In coming into con-
tact with mines. The decks bristle
with guns and It Is to all purposes an
cruiser.
The Nile had returned to Shang
hai, China. when the steamer Mongo
