The .following resnlts relating to 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 de Java,” fitted with MeIntosh and Seymour Diesel machinery; and the steamer Was the ‘‘OaKiVood"; those are sister chips apart from the Cfigmes., •.Both Vessels left the Pacific Coast at; about the same time, and covered the same route, touching at Honolulu and Singapore. The motor shin carried about 3990 tons of cargo, while the steamer carried 3600, tons; the crews numbering 25 on the motor vessel and 89 on the steamer ; the respective costs for labour were about -2513 and -2790 per month respectively. Fuel and supplies at Honolulu cost -2520 for the motor Ship and hot. less thafi -22800 for ithe steamer. The difference in the respective, speeds is apparent from the fact that at Singapore the "Isle do Java” was three weeks ahead-of the steam-ehgined craft. We observe that the Mclntosh and Seymour Co. are using these facts for propaganda purposes in America, TAHITI DUB MONDAY. En route from San Francisco, via PaSeete. the Union Company’s R.M.S.
