Ii. BOATS
TO Be SOLD

Manila business interests have
practically closed negotiations for the
purchase Of two Of the smaller Of the
Inter.Island vessels, according to a
well authenticated report in shipping
circles this morning. Neither the In
ter.Island officials nor those who have
acted for the Manila company would
confirm the story, saying that the
transfer papers had not been signed
by the interests concerned.
Fifty thousand dollars is the sum
which Is to be paid for the two vessels,
Il Is stated. That is just about what
the two little ships would have cost
for construction before the war.
The Noeau and the Keauhou are the
two Inter-Island ships which are to bo
taken by the Luzon Steyedore Co., a
concern engaged principally IN the
transportation of teak wood. - =
The Keauhou has gross tonnage
of 263, and the Noeau 294 tons. The7
have been owned BY the Inter-Island
for 20 years. e - - -.
Shipping men say that the two lit.
tie ships will be able to go to Manila
under their own steam and that the
voyage win not take more than rs
days. Iii. -. 81. ..
The Manila interests in the transfer
have been represented by Captain
Simmie, an old navigator, who has
eeted merely as seafaring man with
knowledge of the needs of the Luzon
SteYedore Co. 80. ). Il.
