The China was sighted in the middle
of the afternoon and was alongside the
Pacific Mail wharf at 430 O'Clock. 1t
was thought possible that something
had happened to the vessels boilers
or machinery, for She usually arrives
the evening previous to the day sched-
uled When she did not make her ap
pearance on Tuesday evening she was
looked for, at the latest, the first thing
in the morning. 1t seems that she met
with no accident, however, but came
along slowly, burning no more coal
than was scheduled for her, and max
ing not the slightest attempt at a rec
ord of any kind.
Some had imagined that there would
not only be a race between the China
and the Ventura, but that there would
be a very exciting contest for best
time down. The China people say they
cannot race if they want TO. They are
obliged to keep a schedule, and can
burn no more than certain amount
of coal a day. The China rests con-
tent in the fact that she holds a rec
ord which has yet to be beaten by
either the Sierra, the Sonoma or the
Ventura. Five days, seven hours and
few minutes is what the China has
done between San Francisco and this
port, and that has not been equalled
by any of the new Spreckels boats
yet.
when our record is beaten say the
China people, then, perhaps, we will
be permitted to burn little extra coal
and make a new RECORD. But we have
yet to see it beaten"
