| w day, coming from the Orient,
the majority of people thought
bthat the Sonoma, from the Colonies,
was approaching.
| Early in the afternoon the Strathgyle
was alongside the Pacific Mail wharf,
and soon afterwards commenced to
discharge cargo for this port.
| The tramp sailed from Yokohama on
| the 9Th instant, two days before the
| City of Picking left that port. She
brought no passengers for Honolulu,
but has aboard four European passen-
gers for the Coast, and a dozen Chi
nese. Four Japanese stowaways are
also on the vessel. She brought about
twelve hundred tons Of Oriental mer-
chandise for this port, all of which will
be fumigated, and has something like
two thousand tons Of freight for San
Diego and San Francisco.
The Strathgyle made a good run from
the Orient, for q tramp steamship, al
though she experienced anything but
pleasant weather the latter part of the
last night, and expects to get away for
San Diego this evening, going thence
to San Francisco.
Captain Gordon is the commander of
the Strathgyle. The other officers are
as follows: First officer Peacock, Sec
ond Officer Brown, Third Officer Fields,
and Chief Engineer Jackman.
Four japanese Stowaways.
While the Strathgyle remains in the
harbor four Japanese, three women and
one man, are confined in the chart
room aboard the vessel. handcuffed to-
gether in pairs. They are stowaways,
and hid on the vessel just before she
sailed from Yokohama. They slowed
away in the forward hatch, and were
not discovered until after the ship had
been at sea for some time.
While the vessel is in port the off,
GERS deem it best to keep the stowa-
ways locked up, for if they manged to
get ashore the steamship would be apt
to get into trouble with the customs
department, as have other Oriental
steamships recently.
|. The four Japanese presented a queer
sight in the chart room. Two Of the
women were handcuffed together. while
the other woman was handcuffed to
the man. They seemed to be comforta-
BILE, however, for they were reclining
in easy positions, upon bundles of
clothing and bedding, and were passing
the time away by smoking and con-
versing. 4t
The officers of the vessel do not
know the reason for the Japanese
slowing away. There is no one on
board who can speak japanese to any
extent, and no conversation has been
had with them. 1t is thought, howev-
err, for reasons which are evident, that
the object of the desire of stowaways
to get to the States is not of a mature
which reflects credit upon the male
member of the party.
The Strathgyle belongs to the new
