The Canadian-Australian 5. 5. Mo
vera. from Vancouver, arrived and de-
parted yesterday, carrying full pas
senger list. Good weather was expert
enced so far on her voyage and every
thing had gone smoothly aboard since
she cast off al Vancouver. She brought
sixteen passengers for Honolulu. nearly
all being returning vacationtsts, and
small amount of freight.
The Miowera carried a large amount
of through freight. including several
hundred tons of samples OF manu1ac-
lures turned out in Canada, these be-
ing billed for exhibition at the inter
national exhibition at Christchurch,
New Zealand. These are being for
warded at the expense of the Canadian
government, which is seeking to pro
mote trade between the Dominion and
the Colonies.
The liner arrived at $50 yesterday
morning and cleared at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon.
AS usual there was the late passenger
to take aboard a woman dashing on
to the dock after the gangp1ank had
been taken away and the hawsers cast
Off She was hauled in over the rail.
CAPTAIN KELLY IS MISQUOTED.
Captain Kelly, the we1l-known mas
ter of the bark George Curtis, is in
dignant over an article published yes
terday in the Bulletin. in which he is
quoted as saying that the reports of
new currents in the Pacific originated
only in the attempts of certain unfor-
tunate commanders to escape blame for
accidents to their vessels.
IT want to deny having ever made
such asserations," said Captain Kelly
last night II was asked if I had
found any unusual currents on the
voyage down from San Francisco and
I answered that I had not. That is all
that was asked me or that l said IN
regard to currents and to quote me as
having said anything about certain
commanders or anybody inventing
stories of currents to excuse them
selves is wrong. Then the paper says
that I said there was no reason to be
1ieve that an earthquake could form
new currents. What do [ know about
what earthquakes can do?"
The George Curtis brought down a
number of passengers from the Coast,
the bark being a favorite boat with the
travelling public and the genial master
being one of the best known shippers
and good fellows on the long ferry
trip. The Curtis will remain in port
for about a month.
S. S. NEVADAN ARRIVES.
The steamship Nevadan was reported
off Diamond Head last night at 6
o'clock and arrived shortly afterward
off port. AS it had been already de-
termined that no work would be done
on her should she arrive late in the
afternoon, she did not enter the harbor
last night, the agents preferring to
take not the least chance with her in
the channel after dark. She will dock
this morning.
AS cargo the Nevadan Is bringing a
large quantity of general merchandise
from the Sound ana San Francisco and
a quantity of feed stuff and some live
stock.
Both the steamers Nebraskan and
Nevadan are running on a slightly
different route from the one they fol-
lowed during the earlier part of the
year. Then they were operated on a
triangular route calling at San Fran
cisco, Puget Sound and the Hawaiian
island ports in the order named. They
now make the same ports but sail to
the islands from San Francisco as well
as calling there first on the homeward
trip. This is done because OF the large
shipments of livestock which are going
to the islands from the California city.
WISCONSIN DUE AT ANY TIME.
1t is possible that the battleship Wis
consin will arrive in the harbor today.
While she is not travelling on any
schedule and may stop for target prac-
tice at any point along the line, it is
hardly probable that she will be delay
ed as she has been ordered home for
repairs and is not making the ordinary
cruise of a battleship in good order and
with crew to train or keep in prac-
tice.
The japanese cruiser Anegawa is also
due this afternoon or tomorrow, having
sailed for Honolulu from Midway on
Thursday evening.
