During the last four days OF our
voyage from the Sound We felt the IN
fuence Of strong westerly current
said First officer Russell of the Matson
S S. Hilonian. which entered the har-
Dor Friday after anchoring outside
for the night. When we sighted Ma
kapuu Point on Friday night we were
five miles to the west OF our proper
position
Otherwise the Hilonian had fine
voyage down from Portland. she

trip to the Northwest, and Jos. Nc
Queen, who brought down a big cattle
shipment with him. Miss S. Guard,
Miss NJ. Hewitt, Miss Alice Mccall
Arthur Richardson and John Spencer
are Hiloites returning from the main
land.
The Hilonian was first locked at the
Oceanic wharf, where she discharged
her local freight. She is now lying at
the Railway wharf discharging ferti-
lizer for the Honolulu plantation and
will commence loading sugar tomor-
row.
In addition to the 700 tons OF sugar
which she will take on here, she LOADS
500 cases of canned pines and 3Oo cases

She will sail for Hilo probably on
next Wednesday evening.
NEBRAsKAN'S BIG CARGO.
The American Hawaiian steamship
Nehraskan arrived Saturday morning
from San Francisco after fine voyage,
the weather having been delightful
throughout the trip. She Is now DOCK
ed at the railway wharf dischargina
cargo, and will probably get away Tor
other island ports on Wednesday next
Captain Burnham, general manager
OF the American-Hawaiian Company
was the only passenger brought down
He is to spend some time here ar
ranging things in anticipation OF tht
proposed new schedule of the company
The Nebraskan brings more than th'
usual amount Of freight, the particu
lars of which are given In the Follow
ing clipping from the Tacoma Ledge
Of August 10:
Unusually heavy shipments of mer
chandise are being made to the Hawai-
ian islands. The steamer Nebrask ar
of the American Hawaiian fleet, whicl
arrived in port Saturday night, VII
load more than 1000 tons at Tacoma
She reached port about o'clocl
from San Francisco and proceeded u
the Commercial dock for cargo. Cap
tain II. f. Weldon reports a foggy tril
from the California port. The sea wa
smooth but the weather was thick an'
dirtv from the Golden Gate to Flat
terry. This state of affairs is usual,
expected by the coasters, however, I'm
til the first of September.
The steamer had small amount o
inward freight which she discharged
at the Commercial dock. She thel
loaded a quantity of boxshooks am
miscellaneous merchandise at tina
wharf for various Hawaiian ports, tn
longshoremen working until midnight
She shifted to the coal bunkers AM
received several hundred tons of coal
Later she proceeded to the Puge
Sound FIGURING Mills where there wa
large amount of flour, bran and short
for the steamer.
Today she will finish her Tacom;
freight by loading more feed and flou
at the Tacoma Gram company's dock
,h 10 ;,
finish loading before sailing for Homo
lulu and Hilo. She did not make
stop at Portland and it is said TIL
liners will probably cease attempting
to make that inland city a port o
call.
On her trip from the islands to SaI
Francisco the steamer carried full
cargo of sugar, which is about the las
of the old crop. The new yield viii
not commence to come before the hrs
of December as the mills do not begin
grinding for three months or so.
There will be plenty of freight TO
the steamers in the meantime, however
as sisal and canned pineapple are com
mencing to offer in quantities. Thes
two crops, with the usual run of mis-
eellaneous freight will furnish goo
sized cargoes for the Nebraskan an
Nevadan for what might otherwise b
dull months. The outward cargoes vii
he very large as the planters will b
making repairs to the mills befor
starting them for another seasons ru
and will require considerable supplies
