The transport Sherman surprised some
people by showing her nose around
Koko Head before eight o'clock yester
day morning The ship had fine weather
all the way down with the exception
of the first two days out of San Fran
cisco. The heavy weather encountered
on these two days undoubtedly pre-
vented the Sherman from breaking the
record. The run was made
in six days twenty-five hours and four
teen minutes, which is excellent time.
AS far as troops go, the big white ship
is almost empty. There are sixty en-
listed men for Manila and eighteen for
Honolulu. There are seventy-seven
first cabin passengers and twenty or
thirty second cabin. This is a marked
contrast to the last transport, which
carried over 1900 souls to Manila.
There is fair cargo, however. in the
Sherman's hold. Forty-five hundred
tons of army stores are going through
TO Manila and Guam. For Honolulu
there are 1877 tons, including 667 bales
of hay and 1884 sacks of oats for the
local army quartermaster There were
100 bags of mail, the denominations Of
three days. There was some excite
ment yesterday morning when the mails
were being landed. The stern of the
transport was some distance away from
the dock and the mail sacks were being
thrown out of n port onto the wharf.
There were two very heavy sacks, and
these did not reach the wharf, but fell
into the water. They were rescued not
much the worse for wear. A number
Of bundles of newspaper files also re-
ceived a good wetting in much the
same manner. A mooring post was
torn out of the wharf when the Sher-
man was landing. The post had become
badly rotted at the level of the dock
floor and snapped when the strain OF
the hawser was put on it.
