MAUI GIVEN UP
AS TOTAL Loss

That the Inter-Island steamer Maui,
which went on the rocks at MaEs:a-
wena Point, North Kona, Hawaii, at
/ o'clock Tuesday morning will prob
ably be a total loss, was admitted
shortly before noon today by Norman
e. Gedge, assistant general manager
of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, Ltd.
Il have received no further par
ticulars but / am afraid she is totsl
wreck he said. "Her book value is
we'll above 100000 and we could not
replace her today for twice that sum.
The sugar cargo she had aboard when
she struck Is also a total loss. That
is worth in the neighborhood of
$e5, 000.'
The Kilauea, which was rushed
Tuesday from Punaluu to the scene of
the wreck, has left the Maui and re-
turned to Honuapo today to load sugar
Honuapo is only a few miles from
Punaluu. The Niihau is standing by
the wreck but on the arrival of the
Kaiulani, which left this port about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, she will
undoubtedly proceed about her regu-
lar work, The Kaiulani is taking
full set Of wrecking gear and is be
lievede to have arrived at the scene
of the wreck some time this morning.
Marine Supt. William Mckay Of the
Inter-Island left on the Kaiulani to
superintend the work of salvaging the
Maui The Kaiulani is expected to re-
turn here about Friday bringing back
the crew and Capt Williamson.
The Maui's loss leaves the Inter.
Island seriously short of good-sized
freight steamers, officials of the com
pany said today. The Kilauea is more
suited to passenger traffic than freight
and the Mauna Loa will have to be
kept on the Maui's run to Kauai ports,
and the Noeau, in reserve, is too small,
having only 200 net tons capacity She
is also not cit for service without over
hauling first.
For the present the Mauna Loa will
continue on the Maui's regular run to
Kauai ports, with the Kilauea taking
the Mauna Loa's run to Maui and
Hawaii ports. This will leave no sea-
worthy boat in reserve.
The lnter-Island has an insurance
fund out of which the Maui's loss will
be paid when a vessel is purchased or
built to take her place. President
