locked Al the Oceanic wharf shortly
after halI-past three yesterday after
noon. after long wait in the ofing.
There was no room for her at the
Hackfeld wharf. and so she was taken
into the place recently vacated by the
7 Alameda.
The good turbine ship seems to be
plaving in hard luck. In the first place,
there was a sick man in the crew, and
there were signs of both plague and
leprosv. One of the sailors was suf-
Doctor Ramus thought ii looked very
much ike bubonic plague.
In order to make sure, before he or
dered the vessel into quarantine. he
sent for Doctor Hobby. The man was
thoroughly examined and portions of
his tissue were inspected under the
microscope Luckily for the vessel and
everybody on board, the doctors de-
clared the complaint to be nothing but
an ordinary swelling brought on by a
strain. and then the Tenyo Maru was
allowed to enter the harbor and dock.
Difficulty About Oil.
Once alongside the wharf, the pas
sengers went ashore as quickly as they
could get down the gangway, and then
came the question Of what time the
Tenvo Maru would leave tomorrow.
CAPTAIN Bent said he expected to leave
at ten clock This time is not GER
tain. however, as there are difficulties
with regard to taking fuel on board.
The Tenyo Maru burns oil. and there
is no oil-pipe outlet at the Oceanic
wharf. The Alameda always goes over
to the Hackfeld wharf to take on her
rzfuel. At present there is no room for
the big japanese liner to lie alongside
there.
There are two possibilities open. One
is for the Hackfeld wharf to be cleared
for the Tenyo, and the other is for
the oil to be lightered alongside and
pumped into the tanks.
There are objections to both meth
DDS. The only lighters available have
pumps. but no steam aboard, and steam
would have to be borrowed by flexible
pipes fom the quarantine steamer Pho
neer. This would be a quite slow
method of transferring the fuel.
First of all the 1900 tons of freight
for Honolulu have to be taken out
and then it will be decided whether
the big liner viii be taken over tC
tho Hackfeld wharf or whether the oil
will be lightered. Whichever course il
pursued, it is hardly likely that the
Tenyo Maru will leave at ten clock
but all mail must be sent in early, as
there are already four hundred bags
for the Coast and there will be nc
time for much more sorting. The
Tenvo Maru is the last boat to leave
here with mail in time for Christmas
Greetings for Goodrich.
