The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-07-02

A HEAD of schedule time, as usual,
"a the Togo Kisen Kasha Nippon
Maru, Captain Greene. arrived in
port yesterday morning from the
Orient. docking at the Pacific Mail
wharf. where she is discharging about
six hundred tons of merchandise from
China and Japan. She will sail for
San Francisco this morning at 10
o'clock. taking mail.
The Maru brought only two cabin
and thirty three steerage passengers
for this port. For a wonder there
were no stowaways aboard the vessel
The vessels of the Togo Kisen Kaisha
have had no pleasant experiences with
Stowaways of late, and it seems that
they have now come to know how to
prevent their getting aboard at Orien-
tai ports, for the number of stowaways
has been diminishing, and the Nippon
Maru on this trip has the distinction
of harboring no one aboard who has
not paid his fare
Good weather was experienced all
the way from Yokohama, which port
was left on June 23d.
For several days past the Nippon
Maru Social and Athletic Associa ton
has been very busy making prepara-
tons for the celebration of the Fourth
OF July aboard ship, on the high seas.
The passengers will not be likely to
forget this Independence Day for a
long time If the plans of Purser G.
Lacy Goodrich, who is getting up the
celebration. do not miscarry.
A notice has been posted up on the
vessel informing the passengers of the
eiaborateness of the coming affair. The
celebration is to wind up with grand
masquerade ball. The best dressed
woman will be presented with a prize,
as will also the best sustained male
and female characters. A twenty-four
hour layover In this port will prove a
good opportunity for the passengers
to purchase costumes.
