With another fast record to her
credit, the Great White Flyer, the
American ship Erskine NJ. Phelps, ar
rived yesterday afternoon. AZ days from
Manila. The vessel came IN heavy
sand ballast and this fact is one reason
for her making such fine passage
She left Manila December l. Captain
Graham shipped a double crew, there
being 40 men aboard where formerly
she carried 90. OF this number all but
seven or eight white men we're Japa-
nese and Filipinos. The double crew
was shipped as Captain Graham an
ticipated having very hard fight to
beat out of the China Sea in the face
of the northeast monsoon that was pre-
vailing when the vessel left. She was
10 days getting up the China Sea and
through the Bashee channel south of
Formosa. out into the Pacific. In the
Pacific the usual strong westerly
weather was experienced. But there
were no typhoons, as that weather had
subsidized before the vessel left Manila.
Nothing of special interest occurred
/ during the trip to Honolulu.
On Wednesday night the vessel was
off the western end of Molokai. About
, o'clock Thursday morning Captain
Graham and the others aboard saw the
reflection of the outbreak of Mauna
Loa, although the night was cloudy. On
the following day the ship was within
| four miles of Waimanalo on the north
of the presence of the vessel was made
to Honolulu The wind changed, caus-
ing the vessel to stand off shore.
The Phelps left Philadelphia last
year and made the run to Manila In
ia days. This was not quite up to
the previous run of 1O2 days, but as the
vessel had to beat up against the mon
soon last year, her performance was,
| Capt. Graham says, much better than
| the faster pa ssA ge when the wind was
with the ship. The Phelps remained
about 80 days at Manila. She will
load about 500 tons of sugar at Homo
lulu and get away for Delaware Break
water about the end of this. month
With good luck, she will make the
round trip home well within the year
The vessel brought 1000 tons of sand
ballast.
Mrs. Graham and Miss Gladys Ora
ham are with the vessel this trip. Cap
! tain Graham has been i'll ever since
leaving Philadelphia. They will prob
ably take apartments at the Young
Hotel, during the stay of the ship IL
