Coast and could easily have put into
this harbor at o'clock on Tuesday af-
ternoon had her commander, Captain
felt so inclined. Captain Law
less was instructed by the agents of the
Australia in San Francisco to test the
good old ferry-boat and see if she was
capable of making the passage from
that port to Honolulu within six days.
All steam was crowded on the steam
ship and for the first four days out of
San Francisco the Australia came down
flying. The passengers were enthu
siastic and looked forward to arriving
here Tuesday evening. But when Cap
tain Lawless saw that the test Of the
Australians speed was in every way
satisfactory and that she could easily
make the trip in six days if she wanted
to, he slowed down on Sunday night
and took it easy for the rest of the way
to port. Several old kamaainas aboard
waited upon the captain in a body and
urged him to keep up the pace to port.
But Captain LawlesS had carried out
his instructions, had proved the vessel
a six-day boat and was satisfied to ar
rive on schedule time.
The Australia locked at Sis a. m.
yesterday. She brought one days later
mail and news than was brought by the
Gaelic. The following is Purser Nc
Combs report:
Left San Francisco August 22nd at
2 p. m. with 113 cabin and Ga steerage
passengers as well as 81 bags of mail.
Experienced light northerly breeze,
smooth sea and fine weather all the
way, arrived August 90. Time, days
and 16 hours. Spoke S. S. Doric for
Frisco"
Captain Lawless was badly hurt, as
announced in yesterdays Advertiser,
while in San Francisco, in having his
left arm broken below the elbow while
on duty. He was on deck day and
| night, however, during the trip down.
His fracture is rapidly healing and he
hopes to be able to use the limb again
very soon as we'll as before the acct
| dent.
