f HERE was little or no ceremony
attached to the launching of the
great 150-ton scow just built for
the Oahu Sugar Company. The scow
was launched from the shore near the
Ewa end of the Mauka railway wharf
on the Oahu Railway lands. The mon
ster scow made her plunge, bobbed up
serenely and then suffered herself to be
moored alongside the whaif, where sht
will remain until the dredger has com
pleted the work of deepening the harboi
at that point, whence she will be towec
out through the harbor and channel U
Pearl Harbor, her future home. Then
was no breaking of a bottle of cham
pagne on her bow, for she has no bow
to speak of; no beautiful maiden christ
ened her, for the scow has nc name as
yet. It is just "scow," that's all.
Yesterday the workmen made the
craft readv for her initial plunge. Hit i

petitor all over the Pacific. It is a
good or a bad outlook, according to
one's point of view.
Woman Was Insane.
A stir was caused among the pas
sengers of the Nippon Maru yesterday
morning shortly before the vessel left
her moorings, by the strange actions of
a Chinese woman. The woman is said
by her husband and relatives to b
unoaiancea mentally, and when in
the street department's
being used to pack it.
The schooner Nokomis was moved
yesterday to the upper end of Allen's
wharf, where she will commence dis
charging her cargo of lumber.
The America Maru, from the Orient,
may come into port this afternoon or
evening, and depart for San Francisco
tomorrow. She will carry mail for the
States.

reacnea tne uec-K, noiaing ner lniant in
her arms, before she had an attack.
She swung her right fist in the di
rection of her husband, on whom it
fell with a thud. He went down, and
she continued her drubbing until re
strained by some of the crew. She

inserted underneath the scow and laid
upon 'the ways. Upon these were placed
the false work upon which the scow
rested. The hold-ropes were secured to
stakes on the shore. Shortly after S
o'clock, when the tide was well in,
with the moonlight streaming full upon
the scene, the persons most interested
in witnessing the successful launching
made ready to cast loose. The foreman,
G. Hughes, who superintended the
work, which took but five weeks to ac
complish, was the man who released tne
freighter. With a swish and a bound
the enormous bulk of heavy timbers
slid down the ways without a jar or
jolt. When the water was reached the
scow took to it naturally and aner an
instant's submersion slowly settled on
the bosom of the narrow channel,
whence she was towed over to the rail
way dock and moored.
This scow, the largest ever construct
ed here, is 90 feet S inches long, 44 feet
8 inches wide, 6 feet 6 inches deep, with
a carrying capacity of 500 tons. She
will be fitted .with four sets of railroad
tracks, so that twenty-four plantation
cars loaded with cane can be carried.
The ends of the scow are cut away to a
certain extent to allow for the insertion
of a wharf apron at the landings. Fifty
thousand feet of lumber were used in
her construction. She will ply between
Ford's Island and Waipic landing in
nection with the Oahu Sugar Company.
American Hawaiian 8. S Co.
Last year notice of this company
was given and its first vessel launch
ed. It now has in commission four
steamers, and five in course of con
struction. When completed, two of the
smaller steamers will ply between San.
Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands,
and the others will take the big trian
gle New York, San Francisco, Hono
lulu, and back to New York. All these
steamers are of most modern construc
tion, of highest type, full powered, and
of course, all are of American

ed in Naval row.
Two very large boilers are on the
forward deck of the steamer Maui,
awaiting transportation to Maul, for
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company's new mill.
The steamers Niihau, for Anahola,
then began to cry suddenly during her and the Claudine, for Maui ports, de-
tears to attack her husband again.
This time she was a fury, and only
after the big Chinese steward envelop

Leaders of Atlantic Liners.
A bewildering amount of provisions
have to be stored on the modern
trans-Atlantic steamer. A list of the
actual amount of provisions carried on
a recent eastward trip on the Ham
burg American liner Deutschland, and
the number of live stock which con
tributed to meet the supplies for one
voyage was estimated from the actual
number of cattle, sheep, etc., that
would be required to make up the to
tal weights in dressed meats.
The dimensions of the vessel are:
Length, 686 feet; beam, 67 feet and dis
placement, 23.000 tons; her Highest av
erage speed for the whole trip is 23.36
knots, and she has made the journey
from Sandy Hook to the Lizard in five
days, seven hours and thirty-eight
minutes. In considering the question
of feeding the passengers on a vessel
of this size the thought is suggested
that there are other hungry mouths
within the hull of the ship besides
those to be found' in the dining saloons
of the passengers and the mess rooms
of the crew. These are the 112 furnaces
in which the fuel of the sixteen boil
ers in the boiler room is consumed
at the rate of 572 tons per day. Now,
