KOREA JUST MISSED
A CHINESE TYPHOON

The Korea arrived from the orien,
early yesterday morning with some
well known Honolulu people who are
returning home and a light list of
through passengers.
While the trip has been a pleasant
one from Nagasaki there have been
several minor incidents to interrupt
the even tenor of the voyage.
The Korea narrowly ESCAPED a
typhoon on the Asiatic coast. On leav
ing Hongkong the typhoon was com
ing up the coast three hundred miles
| away. 1t nearly overlook the big liner
| for it struck Shanghai the morning
after the steamer left that port How
ever the vessel got a little of it in the
rough weather crossing to Nagasaki, at
! which port the officers learned that the
typhoon had spent itself on the Korean
coast.
The Korea could have made port
easily on Sunday, but she was slowed
down after passing Midway and even
laid to for a few hours in the Kauai
channel to await daylight.
Veering from the usual steamer |
course trifie Captain Seabury brought |
his vessel past Ocean, Midway, Neckar |
and Laysan islands so close that the |
flag at the station could be seen With |
the naked eye. Midway was passed on
Friday afternoon. As there was no
mail for that place and the inhabitants
of the island did not send out a boat
the steamer was not stopped.
On Friday evening a large bright
meteor was seen crossing the heavens
and disappearing to the north, leaving
a brilliant trail.
On passing Laysan Island the
schooner Robert Levers was seen lying
at anchor. She flew her number and
asked to be reported. Captain Sea-
bury stated that the vessel was down
in the stern and well up in the bow, !
'ull load of guano.
