The following results relating io the operation of a steamer and a motor vessel, the route being from the Pacific Coast of America to the East, has been received. The motor ship in question is named Isle do Java, lilted with MAlntosh and Seymour Diesel machinery; and the steamer was the Oakwood; these are sister ships apart from the engines. lioth vessels left the Pacific Coast at about the same time, and covered the same route, touching at Honolulu and Singapore! The motor ship carried about 3,990 ions of cargo, while the steamer carried 3,000 tons, the crews numbering 25 on the motor vessel and 39 on the'’ steamer; the respective costs for labor were about £513 and £790 per month.- Kind and supplies at Honolulu cost £520 for the motor ship and not less than £2,800 for the steamer.
