management the line has now been
placed on a paying basis.
Now that the line has been estab.
lished and been placed on the list OF
commercial interests of this city it
should be patronized by all of our
manufacturers in some way ii possible,
as this city wants water connections
with large cities, as without this there
is no competition in freight rates,
which helps to keep manufacturing
away from cities that have only one
outlet for their products. Cities with
both rail and water way find it easy
to induce money men to settle on or
near their borders.
The most essential Improvement
needed in connection with this route
is the dredging of the creek, as about
every two weeks it is impossible for
the steamer to reach it's destination
without two or three hours delay.
Mayor Fithian has the dredging
project in hand and with the data that
he will be able to collect it should be
forced upon Conrgess at it's next ses-
sion to appropriate some amount for
dredging waterway that is the out
let of vast manufacturing and farm
ing country, and should this be urged
by Council and other organizations
hard enough to succeed, the "Sylvan
Dell' would then be able to make
better time and accommodate it's trade
better and perhaps mean daily boat,
that would be to Bridgeton something
that has never been expected.
The manager, H F. Stetser, de-
serves great credit for the time and
money spent in trying to make this
line an established and paying one, in
not only securing space and building
a large shed and platform in Bridge.

old landings on the creek at Tyn.

the boat stops daily for the products
OF the farmers, making for them a
profitable market, also making stop
at Pennsville and Gordon Heights,
which allows connection with Will
mington, Del. without going all the
way around through Philadelphia.
Now let the people wake up and de-
mand from the government some
recognition on matter which means
dollars and cents to them personally.
Everybody appoint themselves com
mittee of one to see or write the Con-
gressmen and Senators demanding
what is much needed to place the city
next to Philadelphia for the outlet of
the manufacturing interest of Bridge.
ton.
People of this vicinity have been
surprised to find the fast time that
this steamer is able to make and what
a beautiful ride it is from this city to
the City of Brotherly Love, and upon
returning are loud in their praise for
the Captain and crew for the kind
treatment they receive at their hands,
ever ready at all times to assist or
make the passengers feel at home, it
seems more like family gathering
than steamboat party, especially
those that happen to need the services

FRED MACFARLANE
TELLS OF THE WRECK
PRAISES THE OFFICERS FOR
GOODNESS BUT THINKS HELP
WAS A LONG TIME COMING.

SAN FRANCISCO, October lone
of the prominent passengers on the
Alameda was f. w. Macfarlane who is
well known in this city. His comment
on the accident was as follows:
81 can't see that there is very much
to say about it. OF course we can
speculate on what might have hap
pened, as there may have been a bad
story to tell, but fortunately no one
was hurt and there are no narrowing
details to relate.
Il wish to say this, however-the
officers and crew of the Alameda con-
Quoted themselves admirably. Their
calm, self-possessed, actions had a
quoting effect on the passengers, and
there was no panic or great excite
ment on board. But there was a good
deal of apprehension felt by some of
the women, because of the long time
that elapsed before a boat came to
get u.s. think it was about an hour.
If the Alameda had opened up during
that time, and for all we know she
might have done so at any moment
there would have been some bad times
especially among the women who were
unable to swim. 1 think the delay in
reaching us was unnecessarily long.
G. Meartens, another Honolulu mer-
chant, was on board with his wife and
| child.
81 should hate to have had that oc.
cur in the night" said he when seer

My wife, of course, screamed and al

| happened and assured her that We
were safe. The passengers were sin
| gularly free from excitement, but they
were beginning to feel uneasy before

pretty white but they all behaved

was no danger"

A VERY PITIFUL
INCIDENT
\ WOMAN COMING TO VISIT HER
COMES PANIC STRICKEN.

SAN FRANCISCO, October Tho
case that came nearest being pitiful
was that of Mrs f. Andreas, a Portu-
guese who lives at Alameda. She
was on her way to Pearl City a sub
urb of Honolulu, to visit some of her
people. She was one of the steerage
passengers, and when the shock came
she was frightened almost out of her
senses. She was unable to speak
English and that seemed to intensity
her panic and it required considerable
effort on the part of the other people
i'm the steerage to quiet her down.
When she landed at the PaCitic-St
wharf she had to be assisted Oft the
boat, and she sat there a long time
on the pier surrounded by her bag
gage. as pale as death. Through am
Interpreter it was learned that sh0
was going to visit her daughter. whom
she has not seen for many years, and
who is now living in Pearl City. She
did not seem to understand that she
could resume her journey when the
next boat leaves but thought she had
lost the money she paid to buy her
ticket. The interpreter tried to en-
plain it to her, but she would only sit
there, rocking her body and sobbing
quietly. Presently one Of the COM
pany's eXpressmen came and carried
the woman and her baggage away.

HOW THE ALAMEDA
WENT ASHORE
A PASSENGER TELLS HOW THE
AT FORT POINT IN THE FOG.

j. 5. Ross, the representative of the
Oceanic Steamship Company who is
well known here in Honolulu, is a guest
at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, having
arrived on the u. S. a. Transport
Thomas last evening. He started from
the Coast on the Inflated liner Ala
media but as everyone knows, she got
nc further than Fort Point on her way
TO Honolulu.
The people who say that there was
no excitement aboard when the Alamo
da struck are i'm error" he said this
morning. There was a great deal of
excitement, but there was certainly no
panic or anything approaching panic.
The passengers seemed to have every
confidence in the officers and that con-
fidence certainly was well founded.
II am not "a sailor man and l am not
versed in all the matters that apper
tain to navigation" continued Mr..
| Ross, but if ever a ship was in hard
| luck, it seems to me the Alameda was.
The fog simply came down like blan-
ket and inside of a few minutes, sun
shine had given way to darkness. Then
the ship grounded and when light APP

know the old place on the southern side
of the Golden Gate, don't you?"
Frankly | didn't think that there
was a chance i'm a thousand of saving
the vessel. There was no immediate
danger but the tide simply races in and
out round Fort Point. If we had hap
pened to go a hundred yards or so fur
Their we would have struck the hole
where most people believe the Rio lies
now. How many would have been lost
in such an event? Well, perhaps the
question would be as to how many
could have been saved.
"As it was the whole occurrence
passed off remarkably well. There was
no doubt whatever as to the danger
but the ships officers had the situation
well in hand, and as / said before there

MRS, KERR GIVES
HER EXPERIENCE
THE ONLY INJURIES WERE DUE
TO THE SUDDEN STACKING OF
A HAWSER TO A TUG.

SAN FRANCISCO, October Mrs.
L. b. Kerr of Honolulu, who was on
board with her husband and daughter,
confessed that she was very badly
frightened. And the worst part OF
it was" she said when they were
carrying us in the small boat from the
Alameda to the Golden Gate. We had
to pass under the heavy tow line, that
was being held taut by two tugs and
just as we got under it the great rope
slackened and fell over our boat,
thought we were all going to be swept
off into the water but we managed
somehow to duck low enough to miss
the thing. That is all of US but two
men. One of them H. Kiley, was
struck i'm the breast but fortunately
was not hurt very much, But the
rope held us there for some time and
it looked for a time as If we would
