ALL VESSELS TO
BRING FREIGHT
Whether or not there is an embargo
on carload shipments of eastern
freight to Honolulu became; the point
of contention at tho meeting of the
retail , board of the Honolulu Cham
vber of,. Commerce held yesterday aft
, emboli. The meeting was called, ori
ginally, to formulate some msthod to
prevent the placing of an embargo on
the shipment of luxuries to Hawaii, as
was reported to Emil Berndt by cable
to be": the intention of Pacific coast
railroads. ,
J. T. Warren of the Honolulu Photo
Supply Co., who was largely responsi
ble for the calling of thel meeting yes
terday to consider what effect the
embargo would have, on certain Hono
lulu merchants said in explanation
that he had had a change of heart. At
first he had thought perhaps it would
be right to protest against the luxury
embargo, but after conversations with
a number of other merchants had de
cided that, a sa matter of patriotism,
fsacrif ice should be made if "sacrifice
was . necessary.'
.. What ho did object to, tnoiigb, was
the possibility that ships might be, al
lowed to come here empty for sugar
cargoes as in the past.; He wanted ac
tion taken that would assure all ships
coming here loaded with merchandise.
Mr. Warren feared that if the lux
ury, embargo was imposed during the
w ar a number of stores might have to
close, or limit their business mate
rially, his included.: It this was done
it would throw a number of persons
out of employment.
"John Effinger favored securing the
suspension of the : coastwise shipping
laws for the Dutch boats and the T. K.
K.; liners, 'as a means of affording
some relief for the shortage of ship
ping situation. He asserted that
the T. K. K. company would not take
the initiative to secure the suspension,
but wanted to be requested by the
government to handle freight or pas
sengers for Honolulu. -
Fred Bush of the Honolulu Iron
Works said he doubted whether there
was an ; embargo on Hawaii ; freieht

HARBOR NOTES
t:
Plans are being considered by the
harbor, board for the dredging of the
harbor directly in; front of Kuhio
wharf, Hilo. so arf to allow Inter
lsland vessels to utilize the end ad
joining the road that leads toward
town.: :v .':
The harbor - beard at a meeting
yesterday afternoon . approved the
form of a .letter to be sent, by the
chairman v proposing . an agreement
whereby the Inter-Island Steam Nav
igation Company would" sign its will
ingness to use a new wharf at Kuhio
bay, Hilo. If the company agrees to
use th6; wharf , for a period , of five
years the harbor ..' board will com
mence ' work within a short time.
He had been of the impression that
such was the case, although iron works
freight continued . to come through.
He had sent a; cable. to. the New York
office' of his company, where it had
been' ascertained that there was no
embargo, he said. :
? Arthur Coyne, furniture dealer, was
also;pf the opinion that, there was no
embargo, as he continues to receive
shipments of furniture. .
-The retail board finally decided to
appoint a committee -which will re
quest the traffic and : transportation
committee of the' Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce "to secure all possible
space privileges on steamers .calling
v While there are accommodations for
400 passengers, two times Ihe number
Ihe biggest Matson steamer will
carry, there are not bathing facilities
sufficient to accommodate one Hawaii
family.
. To be exact, deck charts of the Gov
ernor and President show that on the
three passenger-carrying decks there
is just one bathroom. . And, poor
male! this is marked "woman's , bath
room." The staterooms are small," and
square in shape, with a double deck
of berths extending across one" end.
On the side opposite tho "dressing
sofa" is another berth. The theory
is that the cabins will serve three pas
sengers, and on a pinch four, when the
sofa is forced into 'use. Othr ship's
accommodations are in proportion to
the single bathroom.
As freight carriers the two Pacific
coast vessels are nearly as disap
pointing as they are as passenger ships.
Their deadweight carrying capacity is
estimated to be only 3000 tons.
If the plans of the representative of
the shipping board in San Francisco
ate carried out Honolulu probably will
see the first of these vessels on De-
j cember 5," the date when the Matsonia
was scheduled to make her next, voy
age here. Earlier plans were to have
one of them take the place of tho
Maui on her next voyage, although
this plan has been altered In order to
accommodate the 22 congressmen.

SCHOONER PUTS BACK
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31 Cap
tain Taylor, who took the-Seafarer
from this port and who left her at
Honolulu, is back in town, and yester
day told some of his experiences. The
Seafarer was formerly L. A. Norris'
schooner yacht and was bought by
Atkins & Kroll and transformed into
a trading schooner for the copra
trade. Captain Taylor took her out

her
with the. intention of delivering
at Zamboanga." He said:
"We left here with one other sail
or on board besides myself. The
others were useless. They could not
go aloft and about all they could do
was to haul on a rope if it were plac
ed In their hands. That was bad
enough but the cook could not cook.
. "I found out that this cook was an
English slacker. He got out of Eng
land to avoid the draft and went to
Australia. Then he left there to
avoid joining the army and got to
some- of the South Sea islands. His
only experience In cooking, he con
fessed to mc, was acting as chef for
a gang of Portuguese railroad labor
ers in Tahiti.
"Then again there was no wind.
The most we made in one day was
140 miles and it took us 25 days to
reach Honolulu. There the whole
crew quit. So I signed on a crew of
Filipinos. This - time I tested, tho
cook and he served up a good meal
in port, but as ebon as we left Hono
lulu be became so deathly seasick
that I thought be would die.
"None of the Filipinos could stand
a trick at the wheel. They were all
too seasick; My mate and I stood it
as long as we could and then I put
about and beat back against the trade
winds to Honolulu.
"Meantime another crew had been
sent down from San Francisco, but
they gof talking with my original
crew and refused to go. A man nam
ed Edmunds took my place. I hope he
has a pleasanter yachting trip than I
did.",-"

Kotohira Sailors Voyage 2400
Miles in Open Lifeboat
Ere Sighting Land
, After a voyage of 2,400 tniles in an
open lifeboat, i tossed about at the
mercy of wind and sea; Masao Fuji
wara, second mate of the Japanese
steamer Kotohira JIarjir lost July 27
on a reef off Amchitka island of; the
Western Aleutians and ' nine of his
comrades have landed : in Yokohama.
For 42 days the men sailed and rowed
through the northern Pacific Ocean
until they reached Ikeda Bay; Charlot
te Island, September 10. : ..- 'v
They were practically without food
for a week before they reached Ikeda
bay . No word had been received
that the little craft in which they
were sailing had capsized. After the
Kotohira Maru crashed onr a rock in
a heavy fog, July 27, the officers
and crew put out in three lifeboats,
well provisioned, and landed on Am
chitka Island. -ATwo days were spent
in dividing the stores and supplies
saved in the hasty flight from . the
doomed freighter and the three boats
set out on. a' 600-mile voyage - to
Unalaska. Two of the HfeboaU were
forced to put back by a heavy storm,
which arose shortly after they left
the Island, but Captain M. Shibuya's
boat was. unable to return to shelter
and;was last seen battling the heavy
seas.. Fujiwara' who spent tall the
time with Captain Shibuya i gives a
thrilling description of his adven
tures: ;;: 'i ; ;
'Driven before a terrific; wind and
mountainous seas, we grounded on
the southern point of Amchitka is
land on Jul v 27. after a ? hard but
fruitless struggle, with the elements.
We had only grounded a few minutes
when the seas broke the engine room
hatch, flooding the engine room and
boiler room. The bulkhead gave way
and hr quick time the holds were
also flooded. As we ran great danger
of being engulfed by the big 'seas,
the boats were lowered on the lee
side, and we were subsequently
seated. This, was not easy to ac
complish, but air aboard succeeded in
getting! away from the vessel, which
was abandoned to the storms : :c
"We remained ashore for six 'days
and then decided to divide ' the forty
nine men Into three parties, one party
to each lifeboat, and try . and make
Dutch Harbor. On the evening ' of
August .13 we' attempted to make
Dutch Ha.rbor, but the weather pre
vented us, and, running before the
gale, we were driven, far to the south.
On August 17 we brought up abreast
of the Alaskan peninsula and were
enabled to replenish our exhausted
supply of water.. : i
"The bad weather continued, and
we decided to alter our plans land
head: for Canada. We were at sea
for several days before we were abje
