The San Francisco call., 1901-11-26

ST HE Oceanic Steamship Company s
III Sierra and the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Company S
IN Dcric made port yesterday. The
Doric had about an hours start,
but failed to reach port before sundown,
while the Sierra at that hour was along
side the wharf and her mail was being
rushed ashore in time to catch the over
land
The Doric and Sierra lay alongside each
other in Honolulu. Neither captain said
a word about a race, but every man on
the ships knew that when the lines were
cast off there was going to be some Eus-
tling in the cngine-room. Last night
there was no means of securing an Of
fetal statement of the sailing hours, as
the Doric, being the first vessel to sail,
brought the papers and newspaper mail
An hour after sailing the Doric was
hull down on the horizon and about that
time the Sierra started out on her stern
chase. The captain of the Sierra saw his
opponent leave amid a flourish of trum-
pets and blew him three whistles as a
good-by. Yesterday he stood on the
bridge as his vessel lay alongside the
wharf and received the news that the
Doric was passing in" The latter YES
sci was scheduled to arrive this morning,
but as usual got in a day ahead of time.
The Sierra was scheduled to arrive yes
terday morning, but was delayed between
Sydney and Pago Pago by heavy
weather, but made up her time by max
ing the run between Honolulu and San
Francisco in five days and twelve hours.
BY making time in this manner the Eng
Ish mail will easily reach New York on
Saturday in time to catch the Campania.

The purser of the Sierra reports the
death of United States Consul Osborne at
Ania. on october q. He had been suffer-
ing from a complication of diseases for
many months The natives attended the
funeral ceremonies in great numbers ana
the German authorities paid all possible
respect to the memory of the deceased.
The body was enbalmed and will probably
be brought home on the United States
battleship Wisconsin.
The United States ships Wisconsin, So
lace and Abarenda were in port at Pago
Pago when the Sierra arrived.
The Sierra ran into a heavy gale soon
after leaving Sydney, n. S. w, and was
hove to for several hours.
