Gales and extremely heavy weather
delayed the Oceanic Steamship Ventura
from the Colonies from arriving at Eo-
nolulu on her schedule time. She ar
rived yesterday morning about twenty
four hours late, and proceeded on her
way to San Francisco at p. m. yes

The Ventura was struck by a gale
soon after leaving Auckland which con-
tinued with force for about thirty
hours. Even when the gale moderat-
ed the seas continued heavy and rough.
The decks We're often awash and the
forward cabins We're flooded. During
this time While the second officer was
on the bridge TWO monster waves broke
over the vessel enguIfing the bridge and
twisting the ratings. The water even
reached the crows nest. The second
officer chung TO the rails, but was wash
ed away. He succeeded in gripping an
other rail as he was going over.
The Ventura's time from Sydney to
Honolulu was Is days, u hours and 20
minutes corrected time. There were
four passengers for Honolulu. Among
the through passengers was Lawson,
the bicycle rider, en- route to ST. Louis.
Among those departing We're George
A Davis, the disbarred attorney, who
suddenly made up his mind to go to
Washington. Davis nervously paced
the decks until the steamer was swing
ing away from the wharf. Catching
sight of some of his friends on the
dock Davis shouted:
I'm going to where my friend At
tOrney-GeneraI Andrews is. I'll show
them that 1 am as we'll known there as
he is, aye. and more So"
This was delivered in Davis Fourth
of July style. and afforded the crowd
considerable amusement.
]. n. Cobb, of the Fish Commission,
who has been investigating the fish in
dustry in the islands. completed his
work and departed on the Ventura. B.
E. Williamson, formerly buyer for the
Alexander Young Hotel, went to the
coast and may take up a permanent
residence there. Rev. ]. Leadingham,
of the Hawaiian Board was also "a
passenger.
The Hawaiian Band was present on
the Pacific Mail dock during the after
noon and gave much pleasure to the
passengers.
The Ventura brought seventy tons of
freight for this port, and had 1919 tons
through freight.

Foreign Vessels to Guam.

Commissioner of Navigation Cham
berlain has written to Collector Strait
ton inclosing a copy of an opinion
rendered by Attorney General Knox, i'll
which it is held that foreign vessels
may carry cargo from a port of the
United States to Guam without incur
ring a penalty. 1t is decided that un-
til Congress Iegislates in the matter
the coastwise laws requiring domestic
trade to be carried on in vessels of the
United States do not apply. By the
same reasoning it would seem that
foreign vessels may engage in trade
with Page Page, Tutuila.
