which arrived late Sunday night,
passed quarantine early yester-
day morning and was in her berth at
the Pacific Mail wharf by 1880 a. m.
The Hongkong had on board about
fifty. cabin passengers and 1864 tons of
freight. The cargo included 2ss bales
OF raw silk. 1900 chests Of tea and
sos rolls OF mating.
The Hongkong was favored with
unusually fine weather From Yoko-
hama TO HonOig.u the CLASSY surface
OF the Pacific was unrUfied and from
Honolulu the great body of water did
nothing to belle its name. In spite Of
the stiffness, however, J. B. Duncan.
secretary TO ". H Avery, general
manager of the company, nearly died
OF seasickness. From Yokohama TO
the Golden Gate he was under the care
OF the liners surgeon. When DUNCAN
left here his athletic figure filed with
well-tailored smoothness such Of his
carefully selected and modishly made
wardrobe as he took with him His
mal-de-mer left him when the Hong
kong entered the bay. but the tribute
he had paid 70 Neptune had exacted a
heavy toll on his embonpoint and the
clothes that fitted the man that was,
hung in moUrnful wrinkles on the
gaunt frame Of the oceans victim. DR..
HauXhurst says his patient will be
fatter than ever in a few weeks, and
in spite Of his present weakness Dun
can is cheering UP at the prospect Of
being able TO throw a well-dehned
shadow at an early date.
Colonel George French of the Sal
walton Army. who has been in the
Orient for his health. was a passenger
on the Hongkong as far as Honolulu.
He is coming to the mainland on the
Korea, which arrived al the island port
yesterday.
Among the passengers on the Hong
kong was Major Yugirs Miyata, a
medical officer OF the imperial Japan
csc army. He purposes spending sew
eral months in the Eastern hospitals.
Y Sakurai, q wealthy Japanese silk
importer Of New York. was also a pas
senger on the liner
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur w. Cornwall of
this city, who have been travelling in
the. Orient for some months, returned
on the Hongkong. They were at Hon
olulu, outward bound. when they
learned Of the calamity which befell
this City April IS, and would have
returned but for the receipt of cables
from friends here advising them to
continue their journey. They came
back sooner than they had intended,
however, and it is not unlikely that
Mr.. Cornwall will again enter the com
mercial whirl. He retired from busi-
ness about two years ago and yester-
day he declared that a life Of leisure
did not realize his dream. He was
tired Of it, he said. and he thought the
best use he conld make Of his distaste
for idleness would be to pitch in and
do his share in rebuilding San Fran
cisco
