The scene at the Oceanic wharf yes
| terday morning at the departure o
! the s. s. Alameda was like old times
| The band was out to play the vesse
| off, the first time there has been {
musical accompaniment to a sailing
for some months. And the presenc.
of the band attracted a much lar.
ger crowd than has graced the Ocean
ic dock for about the same length OF
time
The steamship got away promptly
taking a small number of cabin pas
sengers but as many in the steerage
as the accommodates would permit
of The number of cabin passengers
was thirty, that of the steerage 200,
of whom 100 We're Japs There were
also some twenty or thirty Portuguese
seeking pastures new, these being
given a great sendoff by a large num-
Der of friends
A short time before the sailing of
the liner search was made of her
hold by Police officer Larsen, who was
looking for stowaways. 1t had been
reported to him that a runaway SAIL
or off the British barkentine Everett
G. Griggs had slowed away there, but
the search failed to locate the man
The Alameda has been especially fav-
ored with stowaways during her last
two or three trips and there may be
some aboard her now. Larsen not hav-
ing time to make a thorough search.
