transport Hancock NJ Tarpey

| '
nRoMPTLY at o'clock yesterda,
afternoon the United States arm,
transport Hancock got away 70
Manila, via Guam. 1t did no
take her long to back out of the Naya
slip and the tug eFarless soon had he
nose pulled around so that she headed
for the channel.
A large crowd had assembled on tn,
wharf to see her go; departing or ar
irving transport is ever an event o.
great interest to many people othel
than waterfronters, and the usua
scenes characteristic of the leaving OF
steamship We're enacted
For over an hour previous to the de.
parture of the Hancock, Berger's banG
made music on the upper deck of the
great boat to the delight of Ill or
board-passengers, crew and soldiers
alike.
Several couples could not resist the
enhancing effect of some of the pieces
played and now and then the graceful
dancers put the smooth surface of the
| VessePs deck to a most enjoyable use.
EThen the Sweetcvoiced native girls. who
Eadd such charm to the personnel of
the band, sang songs of Hawaii nei
which were as parting voices long to
be recalled by those who had made such
brief visit to these Islands; voices
which will long be remembered as char
acteristic of one of the most beautiful
places in the world, Honolulu.
After the Hancock was we'll on her
way out of the harbor three men came
hurrylng down to the wharf, all excite
ment, wanting to know where the yes
sci was and what she meant by going
away without them. One was a bar
keeper aboard the boat, while the other
two We're walters. The attractions of
Honolulu had proved too much for them
and they had found it a very difficult
thing to pull themselves away from its
delights. Somebody suggested that
they hire the tug Eleu to take them
out to the Hancock.
About this time the quarantine launch
was ready to go out to the Hongkong
Maru, which had been sighted coming
from the Orient a little while before
and the tardy three thought that they
would be put aboard the Hancock by
the launch. They asked for this but
were refused, as it was not the busl-
ness of the launch to do anything of
the kind. Realizing they were hope
lessly left behind, the barkeeper and
the walters went up town remarking
that they didn't want to go back aboard
the transport anyway; that Honolulu
was good enough for them at present |
1t was thought that the Hancock was
20 wait for the Alameda so as to re-
seive her mail for Guam and Manila, !
out the Hancock had received no orders |
o do this, so did not wait after o'clock :
n the afternoon. She was ready for
lea at 10 o'clock in the morning. t
The Hancock was very deep in the /
water when she arrived here. After
he had taken on the necessary coal she
vas deeper yet by few inches and
when she left for Guam she was draw
ng % feet and II inches.
Kodak fiends were active as the yes
el left the wharf and many pictures
we're taken of the big vessel as her
assengers waved aloha to Honolulu.
Lest Her Sails.
After a rough experience at sea the
merican bark Alden Besse arrived in
lis port yesterday afternoon twenty-nine

nd southwesterly winds were encoun-
red and the foresail. the fore-top-gaI-
mt sail and jb Were carried away

esse. She was brought into the harbor
: the tug Fearless not long after II
clock and moored at the Allen street |

Adams Sails for San Diego.
As pretty a picture as has been seen in
e harbor for many a day was present.
yesterday afternoon when the United
ates training ship Adams sailed out of
e channel for San Diego.
She was in this port for about three
'eks, gracing Naval row with her pres
ce and giving her people a chance to n
something of the beauties of Homo :. .
u She sailed away just little while .
