As a result of assistance . which

oy allowing it to cnaner we
steamer Columbia, the ex-German
steamer Serapia and the ex-Herman
bark Red Jacket to bring coal car
goes here, cables will be Bent by the
Inter-Island within the next 43 hours
to London and Yokohama, announc
ing that the company Is again able
after three months' suspension due
to lack of bottoms to bring coal here,
to resume furnishing bunker coal to
vessels of the Allied nations, partic
ularly Great Britain- and Japan .
This announcement was made short
ly before noon today by President J.
A. Kennedy of the Inter-Island, who
returned this morning on the Wilhel
mina from San Francisco, after pay
ing a visit to Washington and em
phasizing the company's needs to the
board.
"Although we will not be too 'Iberal,
we are now in a position to begin
bunkering British and r : Japanese
steamers., again said. President Ken
nedy. "Before . I left Honolutu sev
eral Japanese tramp steamer lines
were after, us to supply them with
bunker coal, but I told them e could
not ' do it until we. could get vessels
to bring a sufficient supply; here.' 1

It will probably be 30

before the British freighters ; which
caBed here - regularly up td; threa
months ago and were then requested
by the Inter-Island not to hunker here
owing to scarcity of coal, will again
begin calling at this port. At present
they have to bunker at San Francisco.
Honolulu is much preferred owing
to : the saving in distance for vessels
