STOWAWAYS OFF
FOB SAN FRANCISCO

Alfred F'reitas and Lou Ferguson are
off to see the world. They sailed yes
terday on the S. S. Alameda and by
this time are probably down on the
ships books as stowaways, for their
boarding of the vessel was done with
out any such prosaic formalities as
seeing the purser or the booking clerk.
Both boys are under fifteen years old.
The pair were to have been accom-
panied by five other boys, only the
retreat of the others was discovered
before the liner pulled out, and the
adventures were rudely and igno-
miniously put ashore Naturally the
parents OF the two runaways are
somewhat anxious concerning the boys,
who had given no hint at their homes
that they were bound for an ocean
voyage when they left ostensibly for
school yesterday morning.

ALAMEDA,E BIG CARGO.

The Oceanic steamship Alameda was
full up with passengers and cargo
when she sailed for the Coast yester-
day morning. The cargo consisted of
5000 sacks of raw sugar, bananas,
pines and other island products. On
the passenger list were twenty-eight
in the cabin, and In the steerage the
accommodations of the liner were tax
ed to their utmost. There was a
large crowd at the Oceanic wharf as
the Alameda pulled out.
When in port the Alameda crew
was increased by twelve men, signed
on in various capacities, one of whom
is Larry Dee, a well-known Honolulan,
who signed on as a coal-passer.
SHERMAN.
A German stowaway, who had
boarded an army transport some time
ago at Nagasaki and who was being
taken back prisoner on board the
transport Sherman, gave his guard
the slip early yesterday morning and
is now at large in Honolulu. The man
had been in the ships hospital and
had impressed upon his guards and
nurses the fact that he was too weak
to walk, much less run away. For
that reason there was not a very strict
guard kept over him, and he slipped
on deck and reached the dock by slid
ing down the rope, disappearing before
the guard could catch him. The au-
thorities here have been notified and
are on the lookout for him.
The transport got away for Manila
yesterday morning at IL o'clock.
OLDEST PACIFIC SKIPPER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 11-Captain
E. Howard, now SO years old, and a
resident of Alameda, is the oldest skip
per on the coast, if not in the world.
For seventy-two years he followed the
sea and for sixty years he was a mas
ter. He is still hale and hearty and
only a few days ago came to San
Francisco to look up his old friend,
Captain Blair.
Captain Howard was last in COM
mand of the old barge Richard III,
now engaged in freighting ore and con-
centrates from Alaska to the Tacoma
smelter. Captain Howard took the
first cargo of sheep that was shipped
to Australia from England. He stayed
in Australia with his vessel until the
wool was clipped from the sheep and
then sailed back to London with wool
that he had taken from that port many
months before
He says he feels as lively today as
he did when he was 81.
