The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-08-20

Francisco was sighted shortly after
one o'clock Saturday morning but did
not come into the harbor until almost
nine o'clock. Scarcely had the steamer
been notified than DR.. Amasse was tele-
phoned and the pilot boat made ready
to go out to her.
Pilot Macauley lit up the channel as
he went out in readiness for the yes
sells coming in. On getting out into
Picking was a good distance out to sea
and was making no movement nearer
the harbor. Although there was al
the pilot boat and she crept along
slowly to the big liner which lay q lit
tie over five miles from the shore On
arriving at the steamer the doctor went
aboard. A Chinese met him and re-
ported that Captain Smith was asleep,
not at home to visitors, that he didn't
wish to be disturbed and didn't want
to come in until daylight. 1t is hard
ly necessary to state that both the doc
tor and pilot were justly indignant.
1t was the steamers turn to do the
waiting when daylight came. The pilot
and doctor had gone home and were in
no extraordinary rush to go out again
to the Picking.
The sun had not been up very long
when messages were sent to DR.: Amas-
se's residence. DR.. Amasse, when he
got ready to go, went out with a pilot
in a launch. This was about o'clock.
The doctor made his examinations af
ter which the Peking came in and
hauled alongside the Pacific Mail
wharf.
As, under the new laws, the vessel
could gain nothing by coming in at
night, not being able to enter at the
customs house till morning. the action
of the captain of the City of Picking
will in all probability be the rule here
after Steamers arriving at night, in
the future, will probably wait outside
until daylight. 1t is the opinion Of
many that the least that could have
been done by the Picking would have
been to offer the pilot and doctor berths
| aboard until daylight If the steamer
people had behaved decently the Pc
king would have been at her dock at
half past nVe o CLOCK.
1t was late last night before the ves-
sci got away for the Orient. She had
! to take on 300 tons of coal and all this
had to be passed through one port and
then over considerable cargo, so tina,
1t took long time to get it aboard.
