Homeward Bound.

Flying long homeward bound pen
nant, the trim little gunboat Concord
arrived in port yesterday morning from
Guam en- route to the Coast to undergo
an overhauling. The Concord took the
place of the U. S. S. Supply while the
latter vessel was in drydock at Bremen
ton. The Supply has now returned to
her station, and the Concord is re-
ieved.
When 600 miles out from Guam, a
coal passer by the name of A. Neil
Willie Lueckenotte disappeared. As to
whether he jumped overheard or fell
over is not known. The Concord steamed
about 100 miles looking for the lost
sailor.
The Concord is one of the original
White Squadron warships and was
built in 1886. She participated in the
battle of Manila Bay. She carries four
6-inch guns for her main battery.
Her Heaviest Cargo.
With 1000 tons of freight in her ca
pacious holds, the Matson steamer Lur-
line arrived in port yesterday morning
after long trip. The boat was so
heavily loaded that she could not make
extra time, but the trip was a paying
one. The Lurline is one of the biggest
I>carriers in the Pacific. Three thousand
tons will be discharged here, 1000 at
Kahului, and 5000 at Hilo. The boat
will load sugar at all the ports named,
and will take big consignment of
pineapples and other island products.
The vessel will leave for San Fran
cisco about October 5.
There were stores for each of Adj
miral Sebree's ships, and 400 bales
of hay go to the quartermaster' de-
partment of the army. In addition the
local freight includes IL 900 sacks OF
cement and miscellaneous shipment
of sixty-five head of stock.
Among the passengers were the mem
bers of the Hawaii National Guard rife
team which competed at Camp Perry;
DR.. and Mrs. McGrew and their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Charles B. Cooper. The lat
ter has made a tour of the principal
cities of Europe. Allan Herbert and
wife returned from long absence on
the mainland, Mr.. Herbert toured the
Pacific Coast States in his u6ebaker
machine, which was brought home on
the Lurline. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Anterior and Miss Atherton were
homecoming kamaainas.
Shipping Notes.
The schooner Borealis, with lumber,
arrived at Hilo from Gray's Harbor
on September %.
When the Mauna Kea left Hilo, the
bark St. Katherine was still loading
ohia ties for the Coast.
The schooner Americana was dis
charging a lumber cargo at Hilo when
the Mauna Kea left on Friday.
Three thousand tons of coal are be-
ing brought to Honolulu from San
Francisco in the collier Justin.
