which entered this port last Wednesday
morning after making stop at the
Hawaiian islands on the way from the
orient.
The cruiser will 60 to the Mare ISL
and Navy Yard Tuesday, Visitors will
be received on board to-day from
shore boats.
The Boston came briskly into port
and went into Mission bay, anchoring
off Mission rock. This part of the
harbor is SO seldom frequented except
by large vessels that are in distress,
either leaking or dismantled, or wish to
lay idle at a safe anchorage, that the
peculiar behavior efthe Boston caused
any amount of comment. All kinds OF
rumors were in circulation.
"Why did you anchor in this out-of-
the-way placer" asked a Chronicle re-
porter Of Captain Day, after the Boston
had been boarded from shore boat.
"Well," said the captain, settling
himself back in his big arm-c hair and
smiling pleasantly, 81 was here about
five years ago in the Mohican, and ]
consider this part Of the bay safe
anchorage. 1t makes no difference to
me what is said; we are here.
"rhe Boston left Honolulu at ago
o'clock on the afternoon of September
26th. When off Diamond Head tn e
cruiser was slowed down. There was
eighty-hve tons of extra coal on deck,
and the high sea running ashed us
ore and aft. The Oceanic passed us
on the way to San Francisco The
weather seemed to make but little
difference to the big steamer, but we
were not in trim to push the Boston"
The cruiser comes into port in none
too good condition. The paint is all
off the bottom, and growth Of bar
nacles adheres in many places. In the
thirteen months that the steel war YES
sci has been in southern waters any
amo unit of fungi has taken root. Divers
were sent down and the bottom
cleaned of as muc h vegetable matter as
possible.
One of the low pressure cylinders is
cracked, and this in itself means
whole lot of damage. Six months may
be taken up in putting a new cylinder
in place.
While at Honolulu the Boston was
extensively engaged in target practice.
The results obtained were excellent
Tue cruiser came into port flying the
homeward- bound pennant When the
vessel goes to the Mare Island Navy
Yard there is no end Of repairs and
overhauling that will have to be done.
Those of the crew whose time has ex.
PRED will go East. The remainder, it
is quite likely, will be transferred to
the cruiser Olympia, now in the harbor,
and which is soon to have her ofticia
trial trip.
"Why was the Oceanic so long in
coming into port yesterday after she
was telephoned?' is what everyone was
asking on the waterfront this morning,
and what none seemed to know how to
answer. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the sight of the Miowera on the
reef had something to do with the
speed of the Oceanic.
The steamer Mikahala completed her
last trip on the w. c. Halls run last
evening, and after dscharging her
cargo will be laid up for repairs, and
the w. G. Hall will resume her regular
run Friday. Her new boilers and re
paired engines were put to work the
other day by Engineer Mclean, who
reports everything in good running
order.
Those desiring to pay visit to the
schooner Aloha will do well to be very
careful about boarding the vessel a:
there is large bull dog Of uncom
promising nature on board, who acts
in the absence of officers, as rJcep
ton committee, and his ideas of hos
pitaity are not always in accordance
with the views held by visitors
