NEVADAN MET A
STRONG CURRENT
ON THIS ACCOUNT SHE DID NOT
SREAK HER RECORD-ARRIVED
PROMPTLY TODAY.

The S. S. Nevadan, Captain Weldon,
arrived off port at an early hour this
morning from San Francisco with one
days later mail and news files. But
for encountering an unusual current
which set toward the northwest, the
vessel could have made port yesterday
afternoon and broken her previous rec
ord of days and 8 hours. The current
was encountered early this week. When
the log was figured it was found that
the vessel had run 80 miles behind on
one day. 1t was decided not to try and
make port before Saturday as the cur
rent would have prevented the vessel
getting in before Friday night. Two
days ago the current changed however
and the vessel could have made port
yesterday had speed not been slacken-
ed before.
The vessel sighted the schooner w.
II. Marston on Wednesday. The schoon-
er had a good breeze with her and
should make port in few days more.
She has general merchandise for this
place.
The Nevadan brought about $500
tons of general cargo for this port and
Kahului. About 1000 tons goes to the
latter port. In the Honolulu cargo is
some material for the Pacific Gable
of tanks for the Union Oil Company
on the Iwilei district, and some mill
material for the H. A. Isenberg resi-
dence. A quantity of cold storage stuff
was also brought.
The NeVadan left San Francisco at
3 p. m. of November 2S. Nothing had
been reported of the cable steamer Sill
verton. The Silverton was not likely
to reach San Francisco however before
December 5.
The Nevadan will sail from Honolulu
for Kahului Monday night and there
discharge cargo and get a return load.
She will sail from .Kahului December
Ia arriving here the morning, of Decem-
ber Is and will sail for San Francisco
December 16 at D. m.
