SAN FRANCISCO, January THE
American ship Fort George, owned by
Ithe Matson Navigation Company of this
city and well known here for her smart
passages, is long overdue on the voyage
from New York to Honolulu, and since
she has been posted on the overdue list
and reinsurance quoted at twenty per
cent. there has been considerable COM
ment made in shipping circles as to her
whereabouts.
1t is not believed that the vessel has
met with any serious disaster, but is
having an unusually slow passage, be-
cause Of the gales which have been re-
ported Is raging 6ff Cape Horn by yes
sells that have arrived at this port. An
other explanation for the ship non
arrival is that she may have suffered
in the immense quantity Of lee which
has been IN evidence IN the lower lati,
tude this year.
The Fort George sailed from New
York early last July in command of
Captain Fullerton and a well picked
crew. The last heard of her was on
August -, when she was spoken in
latitude II north, longitude % west, in
the Atlantic. She is carrying cargo
