The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-05-20

n HERE are many vessels now
! about due from the coast and
| u Australia, and this week is eX-
pected to be busy one for ar
rivals.
The sailing vessels arriving in port
Saturday were the barkentine Irm-
| gard, sixteen days from San Fran
cisco and the little schooner Laura
Pike, thirty-two days from Coos Bay.
| The Imgard brought a large cargo of
general merchandise having over four
hundred hogs on deck, one of the most
delightful deckloads which it is possible
for sailing vessel to carry, say some
| old shippers. A deckload of hogs gen.
orally furnishes enough amusement
throughout the trip to while away the
hours that might be otherwise monot-
onous. Six of the animals died at sea,
very small proportion of the number
shipped, speaking well for the manner
in which they were treated and cared
for.
| The Pike brought about a quarter of
million feet of lumber for NJ. S. Grin
baum & Co. The Pixies captain main
tains that the little vessels f1oated here
with the current, as Gains were eX
perienced most of the way.
The Steamship Pc II
Early Saturday morning the P M.
steamship Peru Captain Pillsbury, ar
rived in port from San Francisco, hav
ing sailed from the coast on the 10th
instant, bringing two days later news
and mail. She is taking the place of
the lost Rio de Janeiro on the Oriental
run.
| The Peru is very comfortable boat.
| though she is not much on speed. A
pleasant trip was experienced.
Several passengers for Honolulu ar
to the Orient.
This is the first time the Peru has
visited this port since she was a trans
port. About three years ago she was a
passenger boat on the China run, and
was then withdrawn after long service
and placed on the Panama run.
Yesterday morning the Peru sailed

Island Steamers Arrive.
On Saturday seven island steamers
made port. On account of rough
weather on Kauai and Hawaii most
of the boats brought very light car
goes, and were therefore enabled to ar
rive yesterday instead of coming in on
Sunday morning, as is generally the
case. Instead of waiting for full car
goes the captains thought it best to re-
turn to Honolulu with what they had.
The boats arriving were the Kinau
from Hilo and way ports; the Iwalani
from Kilauea; the Hanalei from Kauai;
the Ke Au Hou from Honokaa; the
Lehua from Molokai; the Eclipse from
Hawaii and the J. A. Cummins from
windward Oahu ports.
| THE Kinau, with very little freight,
arrived at the usual time, about noon.

Wild Flight to Catch Sierra.
James Leslie McComb, well known
in this city, returned from a business
trip to the coast on the last Sierra.
During the trip of the Sierra from
San Francisco Mr.. McComb says that
he was introduced to a beautiful and
charming young lady, who is an Aus
tralian heiress. Before the steamer
touched the wharf at Honolulu the
heiress and McComb were engaged to
be married. The young lady went
through to the Colonies on the Sierra
to join her folks, her father being a
big sheep owner She will come to
Honolulu in the course of few
months, when the wedding will take
place.
The beautiful heiress is friend of
Miss Margaret Windeyer, and accom-
panied her when she rode against time
on special train to catch the Sierra
at San Francisco.
