SIERRA LEAVES FOR COAST.

SIERRA LEAVES FOR COAST.
Promptly at 5 O'Clock last evening
the Oceanic steamship Sierra, Captain
Houdlette. left the Oceanic wharf for
San Francisco on what may prove to
be her last trip from this port, since
the Alameda takes the run now, Ieav-
ing San Francisco the day after the
Sierra is scheduled to arrive at San
Francisco.
There was large crowd on the
wharf to see the Sierra get away, and
the Hawaiian band played for over an
hour prior to departure, winding up,
as usual. with Aloha De-" which pos
sesses the faculty of starting tears
where folks have been doing their best
to hold them back. The cabin list
was not large: it was what is gener-
ally referred to as a good" crowd. In
the steerage were the fifty-one deports
who have spent so many happy days
in Honolulu that departure for them
was like leaving home. They have
been SO well treated by the local i'm
migration authorities that they hated
to leave. Thirty-six of them were
Spaniards and the rest Portuguese.
Because OF trachoma and for other
reasons they could not be admitted to
the Territory. Henry Vida and NJ A.
Silva We're commissioned TO see them
safely home, via San Francisco, across
the continent and to Europe. The ST.
ezra took a large cargo, amounting to
about 1900 tons. including $1,000 bags
of sugar, e090 punches of bananas,
5000 cases Of canned pineapples, 1000
cases of green pfneapples and 1000 bags
Of rice.
President woolley of the Mormon
church was among the departing. He
was oyerburdened with 1eis, chiefly of
the lima variety, and there were many
on the wharf especially to bid him
farewell. Miss Grace Haywood left to
visit her mother. who is not enjoying |
good health. Miss Haywood was COW
cred with flowers, many of which she !
tossed back to numerous friends on
the wharf as souvenirs. She has been
in Honolulu for several years, having !
at times been cashier at the Elite and /
Young cafes. Bert Lloyd was another
