and Goes.


San Francisco was sighted off Koko
Head a little before o'clock yesrer-
day afternoon. True to her usual Gus
tom she arrived here many hours
ahead of schedule time. AS she steam
ed around Diamond Head yellow flag

was sickness aboard. 1t is the ruIe
however, that vessel coming into port
must fly the quarantine flag and uaSil
she has been boarded and examined by
the doctor.
The America Maru left San Francisco
on Saturday, the 18th instant, at about
half past two o'clock in the afternoon.
She brought mail, merchandise and a
good many passengers for Honolulu
On her arrival just outside of the har-
Dor the vessel dropped her anchor TO
await the departure or the Mariposa
for San Francisco, so that she mIg1t
take the Mariposa's place at the Ocean
ic dock. The Mariposa kept the Maru
waiting outside for some little time
an hour or so, While she had some diff
ficulty with a scow near the Oceanic
wharf The account of the trouble be-
tween the Mariposa and the scow APP
pears in another column.
This is the last trip of the America
Maru from San Francisco to this port
with American passengers. That she
is to go out OF the service as far as Am
erican travellers are concerned is &
source of deep regret to people who
have made many pleasant trips from
the Coast to Honolulu and from tuese
Islands to the Coast in the big boats o.
the Togo Kisen Kaisha line. Many
persons expressed their regrets on The
decks of the America Maru yesterday
afternoon as she was entering port

officers of her sister ships, are fame,
| far and wide for their gallantry, cour
tesy and courage and never fail to MAKE
