drotiiiio' Honolulu run, provides for ar.
rival here Mt ten O'Clock in the morning
OF February 81 and departure ut eleven

AS outlined by the radiogran, tho
Northern Pacific would run ON this
schedule ~ ! ..ar-..l.'- . = i - :

Recommends Later sailings
Mr.. Waldron was asked asked wheth.
er the schedule would include all the
Carnival events, and he replied that he
would recommend sailing from San
Francisco and San Pedro one day later,
on February 10 and II, and arriving
here one day later, February 22, and
sailing from Honolulu at midnight Feb.
ruary 26-27 instead of five O'Clock in
the afternoOI of February rs. He rec.
commended these changes because the
fireworks concluding tho Carnival viii
be held the evening of February 26,
and they would not be seen by the
Northern Pacific passengers If the
steamer sailed at the hour tentatively
scheduled. .r' .'A'.N
All tickets would be frst.cabin, the
radiogram said. 81 =. ..1a y.
Maintenance On Ships
Passengers would be maintained
aboard the steamer while here. This
would not be competition with tho
hotels, II is considered, as they will be
well patroniZed by the passengers who
will come here in the regular steamers
and byfother Island folk.
Although the cruise has not been de.
cideil upon positively, there appears to
be little doubt that the Northern Paci.
fc will come.
Business Looks Good ta..
If the company regards the Honolulu
business as good enough to warrant the
special cruise of the Northern Pacific,
II probably intends to keep the Great
Northern on the run permanently. This
seems TO be the natural assumption 20
bs made from the plans for the sister. |
ship, E,,>. ?, -. sl5-.... q ".
One point which the company PRO
badly is considering is that the attrac.
tions of Honolulu are as good during
summer as in winter. EVERY Day
May lay Is an excellent phrase TO
describe Honolulu weather, and the out, |
door sports are good: swimming, surfing,
walking, mountain climbing, tennis, pc.
10, fishing, etc. Some of these, indeed, |
thrive better in the summer than in the
winter '%
The Northern Pacific is the younger
sister of the two. She was launched |
after the Great Northern and passed /
through the Panama Canal to the Paci |
fe later. She is on the San Francisco.
Flayel run now. She has made no voy. !
age to the Islands at all, but the. Great
Northern made de luxe cruise in Feb,
rnary, 1915. for the Carnival, before
going on her regular run to the North |
