~ HE Oceanic steamship Alameda ar
rived yesterday afternoon at
= about 1 o'clock. She left san
Francisco on November at 3:47 p. m,
thus making the trip in five days and
twenty hours. This was the first trip
on which a real test was given the Ala
medals new machinery. as she had in
competent firemen who were unable to
keep steam up on her first voyage from
San Francisco to this port. During this
passage experienced hremen were en-
ployed and very satisfactory run was
made, the average speed being 15:5
knots an hour Each day Of the trip the
vessel was kept at a 1875 knot gait but
only for four or fire hours at a time as
it was not desired to push the vessel.
The minimum speed was II knots an
hour
The following is table of her speed
for each day. compiled by Purser Tn.
Smith:
Sailed from San Francisco Nov. 2 at
3:47 p. M; Nov. run SO4 Nov. run
$50; Nov. run 344; Nov. 6 run $50; Nov.
run 35S; Nov. run 354.
During the whole voyage fine weather
and moderate winds were experienced.
The trip is said by Purser Smith to be
the most jolly and enjoyable voyage he
has known. Most of the passengers
were old travellers and after the first
day out there was not a single person
seasick on board. Every evening an
Tinpromptu concert or other kind of en-
tertainment was gotten up by the cabin
passengers, the Neill company and also
other passengers performing in various
ways.
How enjoyable the trip was is best
shown by the following testimonial Civ
en- to Captain HERMAN and signed by
all the cabin as we'll as the steerage
passengers:
We, the Undersigned, passengers on the
S. S. Alameda, desire to show our keen
appreciation Of the great kindness DIS
played by Captain HERMAN on this our
first voyage with him. We are most of
us old travellers, having travelled in near
ly every steamer line running on the Pa
ciflc, but have never been treated with |
more uniform kindness and courtesy on |
any craft on which we have travelled |
than on this, the S. S. Alameda by Cap |
tain HERMAN, his officers and crew, and |
as a slight token of our appreciation Of /
this fact we subscribe ourselves,
Gratefully,
(Signed by all Passengers) 4

freight and 129 bags Of mail.
