STRANGE ROMANCE
OF A STOWAWAY|
Tried to Beat His Way to Lon
don After Thirty Years
Absence.

On the Sonoma for the Colonies last
night sailed one Surrey, a stowaway
who arrived on the Ventura and was
detained for safe keeping at the police
station until the Sonoma arrived from
the Coast. when he was transferred to
| that vessel.
| Surrey told an Advertiser reporter a
hard luck story yesterday. He said that
his father and mother lived in Lon
don, England, and that he was try
| ing to get home, after an absence of
thirty years He shipped from London
TO Australia as a cabin boy in 1872. He
deserted his ship at Sydney and made
| his way inland. where he has been
| grubbing along around sheep stations
ever since, never having accumulated
! enough money, however, to pay his
passage home.
He would not ship back, as he con-
tracted a deadly dislike to the life OF
a sailor, the result. he said, of brutal
treatment melted out to him on his first
voyage.
Surrey is today man of about for
ty-five years of age, somewhat stout,
with a fresh complexion and Stubby
RED beard. AS he sat on bench in
the courtyard of the police station, he
looked a typical American farm hand.
During the thirty years he has been
away from home he has heard nothing
from his folks until a month ago, when
he met. in the bush. man, who, like
himself. was scratching out an exist
ence on Australian soil. This man told
Surrey that he came from that part of
London where his relatives resided and
that both his father and mother were
alive and we'll.
This information made Surrey home
sick, and he decided to attempt to
beat his way back to England and see
his father and mother before it was
too late. He accordingly slowed away
on the Ventura, and being discovered,
was returned on the Sonoma to the
place from whence he came.
The fact that the police took Surrey
into custody is a curious one, for ac-
cording to the law governing immigra-
ton he should have been detained on
the ship, or in some place especially
appointed for that purpose, and not
suffered to land. Instead, he was ar
rested on the wharf and taken to the
police station, where he occupied a cell
over night. High Sheriff Brown said
yesterday that he took the man in
charge at the request of the agents of
the steamship company, Irwin & Co..
with the understanding that they
should pay all expenses. The customs
Oll OdNy ct biit Sih6pieiiih
state that he passed from the ship to
the wharf in the capacity of a coal
passer. Had he succeeded in passing
a little further, and evading the Off
GERS who were waiting for him, made
good his escape, the consequences
would have been serious for the COM
pany.
Surrey was very indignant yesterday
at having been locked up in a cell for
violating a regulation. the only pun
ishment prescribed for which, is re-
turn by the steamship company to the
place where he started from. He seem
ed to feel his humiliation deeply. and
departed with the aVowed intention of !
making some one pay for his night in
Jail

NEWS OF THE WATERFRONT.
CUT A MAN ON
THE HIGH SEAS
Barkentine W. n. Dimond Arrives
With CoIored Cook Richard
son in Irons.

| The barkentine w. H. Dimond arriv-
| ed yesterday morning after a stormy
passage of twenty-six days from San
Francisco. For nine days after leav-
ing port she encountered bad southerly
weather. Four days ago, however, the
northeast winds caught her and she
made a run to port of over thousand
miles.
On board, in irons, when the vessel
, arrived, was a colored man named
! Richardson, the cook of the barkentine,
who, during a row, slashed another
seaman with knife.
Charles z. Richardson was arrested
, by Marshal Hendry yesterday after
noon on information charging him with
assault upon the high seas. The pris-
oner was taken before United States
Commissioner E. S. Gill, and his pre-
liminary hearing set for Monday
morning, the defendant going to jail
in default of bond for $500
1t is alleged that on March 8, while
near the port of Honolulu, Richardson
made a murderous assault upon one
Charles II. Wheaton with a knife
Wheaton is said to have been quite
badly cut by the negro, who was slash
ing around with little regard for the
property or lives of anyone else. The
information charging the crime is sign
ed by Capt. p. A. Hanson, the COM
mander of the vessel.
Assault with a deadly weapon on the
high seas is a serious offense, and the
maximum punishment under the sec
ton of the revised statutes which
Richardson is said to have violated, is
a fine of $4,000, or three years impris-
onment, or both, within the discretion
of the court.

DISCRIMINATION
AT GANG PLANK
Men With Business Excluded from
Ventura While Others Are
Winked at.

There was the usual growing on the
wharf on Wednesday prior to the
Ventures sailing, about the discrimi-
nation shown in allowing people to go
on board the vessel.
No one was supposed to be allowed
,, to go up the gangway, but notwith-
standing an iron-clad order to this ef-
feet, number of individuals managed
to gain access to the ship. These per-
sons in the majority of cases had no
business on board other than of a per-
sonal nature. People who did have a
legitimate excuse for going on board
were in almost every case peremptorily
denied access. The members of the
press were vigorously excluded, while
Chinese washmen, dunning clerks and
Cunning, the hypnotist, who probably
practiced his art on the gangplank
officials, came and went at their own
sweet will.
Here is a sample fragment of con-
versation on the wharf between lady
who wanted to be allowed to go on
board and kiss her daughter goodbye,
and the individual who was supposed
to hold the plank against all COM
erS:
please let me go on board?"
Cant do it, ma'am."
But you let Mr.. - go up, and why
can't 1 go?"
MY orders ma'am: the other man
let Mr. - go up; he had pass, any
way"
can I get a pass?'
You must see the agent, ma'am.
Five minutes later
Il saw the agent and he would not
give me a pass. How did Mr.. -
get pass
You'd better go and ask him"
Just then the whistle blew and the
favored ones scurried off the ship, the
gangplank was drawn up, and the
mother on the wharf wept for her
daughter

Sonoma Comes and Goes.

Wednesday night.
Fine weather was experienced after
leaving the Farallones until the morn
ing of March !, when the Sonoma ran
into a whole gale lasting until noon of
March 2. Thence strong trades and
rough seas to arrival.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
on the Sonoma were j. B. Castle and
wife. Alexander Young, Mrs. Eugene
Field, widow of the Western poet; Mrs.
F. II. Humphris and T. \. Pettus, the
