MONGOLIA HAS
RECORD CARGO
BIG VESSEL Is COMPLETING HER
FIRST ROUND TRIP WITH AN
ENORMOUS CARGO.

Carrying the biggest cargo that has
ever been taken through the Golden
Gate, the 5. ;. Mongolia, Captain Rim
DER arrived off the port this morning
shortly after o'clock from the Orient.
The big vessel did not reach here yes
terday as she sailed June 20 from Yo'
kohama, a day late. The vessel eNpe-
rienced good weather during her trip to
this port. She sighted the s. ;, Coptic
on July A. The two vessels spoke each
other, stopped and exchanged compli-
ments. Captain Kinder was formerly
the commander of the Coptic, and the
meeting was a very pleasing coinci-
dence.
The Mongolia had 1900 tons Of
freight in her hold. OF this amount l.
700 tons were for Honolulu and the re-
mainder for San Francisco. There vii!
be a hard struggle for the wharf peo-
pie at the Pacific Mail whalf to handle
the big cargo. 1t will be several thou
sands of tons more than any contract of
THE kind they have previously under
taken. About 5000 tons Of this cargo
consisted of tea.
The vessel Is just about full. The va
rlous shippers in Yokohama and other
ports decided when they were told that
the Mongolia could take about all they
wanted to ship, to let go what they had
and sent it on her 1t is doubtful even,
whether the cargo can be gotten out Of
her in San Francisco and she be ready
| for sea within ten days so as to sail on
schedule time.
/ Every effort is being made to rush the
work Of discharging her at this port.
/ She went TO the Naval wharf, as there
was not enough water for her to go
alongside the Hackfeld wharf. A big
I crowd awaited the vessel at the wharf.
/ She was locked in neat style there be-
ing little trouble IN handling her, big
as she was.
Captain Kinder has made marked
/ improvements in the appearance Of his
vessel. When she came here on her out
ward trip she looked rather dirty and
unkempt. He has gotten her in ship
shape now and she is as neat and clean
as If she had been in commission many
trips. A couple Of trips more win put
her in the neat and perfect order that
characterizes the vessels Of which Cap
itain Kinder Is in command
The vessel had a very large crowd Of
passengers. She had 972 souls altOgetn-
er on her. She brought a fair sized
crowd Of passengers for Honolulu and
has 1872 saloon passengers altogether,
She will get 80 more passengers at this
place.
