Manchuria Carries Many Passengers.
d. With the largest number Of passen-
. gers carried by any Pacific Mail liner
for some months, the big steamship
.Msnchuria, Captain J. w. Saunders,
sailed yesterday afternoon for the
Orient. The star passenger was Cen
eral James F Smith, who succeeds
OF the Philippines. General Smith and
Mrs. Smith drove 10 the wharf in big
p touring car unattended, but on the dock
were many friends TO bid them good-by.
= Among the Manchuria's passengers
are eighteen missionaries bound for
China and Korea According 10 the
traditions OF the sea IL is unlucky to
carry. missionaries, but Captain Saun-
.oers is not superstitious and has car
d. ried as many before without encoun-
tering any mishap more serious than
q touch Of liver complaint, for which
he is fair enough TO blame the hospi-
tality OF his friends ashore.
The Alanchuria carried a full cargo
and made a pretty picture as she swung 3
: into the stream and headed for the
Golden Gate.
=. For many years Captain Anderson
. has stood at the foot Of the gangplank
OF departing liners and warned by
ISLANDERS TO stand clear Of this here
plank or them wheels will roll on your
toes The wh eelS upon which the heavy
plank rests roll back and forth with
;+the swinging Of the liner on the swell.
There is danger, but until yesterday
-dio the captains prophecy come true.
g an elderly individual. who scorned a
:yvsrning couched in unparsable terms,
: Tested his feet against one Of the
: fgreeis- The liner gave z gentle roll
f-and a loud yell proclaimed that the
:. heavily Lhronged plank was resting on
: seEeral Of the needless mans toes. The
more he yelled the more people came
! rushing down the gangplank to see what
b.. was the matter and the heavier grew
the weight that rested on the toes.
a gang Of stevedores raised the
plank and the man with the very sore
taes hobbled away in search ot place
where arnica was for sale. The Man
caEria's passengers included;
