MANCHURIA MAY HAVE NEW CAPTAIN

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 16.-Details
of the alteration between Captain }.
W. Saunders, master of the Pacific
Mail liner Manchuria, and DR.. C. E.
Lewis, the ships surgeon, were to be
had from more than one viewpoint
with the arrival of the big steamer yes
terday from the Orient. The topic of
discussion among the passengers who
heard of the sensational ARRAY was
what would be its outcome. 1t was re-
ported IN a number of places where the
affair has been u choice morsel of Cos
sip that when the liner goes out again
to the Orient there will be another
captain on the bridge and another
medico to look after the ills of the
passengers. The principals in the af-
fair both come back to face General
Manager Schwerin well fortified with
ammunition in the way of dispositions
and affidavits made by those who hap
pened to be in earshot and view of the
encounter.
SAYS HE DID NOT STRIKE.
Il did not strike the DOCTOR" said
Captain Saunders, Il merely took the
position that any skipper would to a
member of his crew who questioned
his @. lers. He tried to strike me, and
simply held him off"
Says DR.. Lewis: The captain called
me an uncomfortable name, struck -
knocking my hat off, and kicked my
shins. Any man would have retaliated
but | could not, as the mate held me-. "
The story of the mix-up, as it was
generally related in the smoking-room
and at mess, is as follows On the
morning of December I'd the Man
churia, being outward bound for Hong
king, was swinging at anchor in the
bay at Nagasad. Dr. Lewis had re-
ceived an invitation from DR.. Bowie,
the quarantine officer at that port, to
tiffin. He asked First Officer Rice for
permission to go ashore, and the latter
told the doctor that he could do so
as soon as the cargo was dischargeu.
| That was II o'clock. At the hour of
IL DR. Lewis having attired himself in
| his shore clothes, went forward to see
If the cutter was ready.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-01-25

He met Captain Saunders
You cannot go ashore" the captain
is alleged to have said, upon seeing the
physician prepared for his jaunt on
land.
Is that some new order" inquired
Dr. Lewis with the proper amount OF
respect.
Pm not explaining my orders to
every Tom, Dick and Harry" retorted
the skipper of the liner Juggling at his
whiskers
Il don't consider myself on the Tom
Dick and Harry class" came from the
medico, with some heat.
Here it is said that Captain Saunders
voice assumed the pitch he might use
from the bridge.
Don't give me any of your sass"
followed by the words of a spectacular
brand.
HAT KNOCKED OVERHEARD.
Then the shippers right shot out ana
DR.. Lewis hat went overheard, where
it loated lazily on the water, while for
a moment the surgeon shifted on his
feet. They were at close quarters now
with clinched hands and blazing eyes.
But just then, when DR.. Lewis might
have eXerted some of his youthful and
athletic vigor the first mate came along
and put forth a restraining hand, fore
ing the physician to the rail, where it
is said Captain Saunders began to beat
a tattoo on the Doctors shins with
either his right or left foot. until the
chief engineer appeared upon the scene
and reminded the captain that others
were looking. .H]
The participants retired to their cor
ners for the night. Next day 1t is said
the doctor failed to salute his superior
officer and there was some talk about
a preference to salute Chinese, and an
attempt on the part of the captain TO
worry the surgeon into another round
but the combat was not continued. On
the remainer of the voyage to Hong
kong and back to this port again there
was nothing to divulge the secret save
an icy GOODNESS between the man on
the bridge and he who cools the fever
ed brow of the seasick.

Esd VALUE STEAMSHIP THE UfBu1fDiNG OF COM
81. MERGE POINTED OUT. 7- NdS H'@" 7n pHA N %

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1.-THE
necessity of ship subsidy on the Pa
cific coast and the necessity of the
passage of such bill during the pres
ent session of Congress was argued De
fore the members of the snlpping and
harbor committee of the chamber OF
commerce with such emphasis by Cap
tain William Matson last Tuesday tnat
that committee has recommended that
the chamber draft a resolution to be
submitted to the members of the House
of Representatives urging favorable
action on such a measure.
Captain Matson put forth snort
but strong argument. He impressed
the members of the committee of the
responsibility that fell upon them to
promote the welfare of San Francisco
and of the Pacific coast, and in con-
else terms urged the members to sup
port a ship subsidy bill.
Without its harbor there would be
no reason for the existence of the
city of San Francisco" he said; nus
past, present and future greatness has
been, is and will be due entirely to
the magnificent eXpanse of water which
lies within the Golden gate, and the
first duty of those who lead in the
promotion of the interests of San

Francisco is to utilize to the utmost
possible extent the bounds less oppor-
tunity that San Francisco bay affords
for commercial achievement.
DO we realize, for example, what
was lost to San Francisco when the
Oceanic steamship company's steam
ers were withdrawn fro the Austria
liam route. More than a million dollars
was dsibursed annualll by this COM
pany on the city front. More than
$500 travellers passed through this city
annually, carried to and from Austria
liza by these vessels.
Since the stoppage of this line San
Franciscos exports to Australasia have
fallen off more than S1O00,00O per an
mum. This in brief illustrates in an
unmistakable manner the1 value of even
single line of American steamships
trading to foreign ports.
And why have we not a dozen lines
of great steamships owning San Fran
cisco as their home trading to the
uttermost parts of the Pacific? The
answer is simple. The markets are
new and they must be upbuilt.
Ships owned here will bring the
trade here and leave their earnings
here. Not so with the foreign vessel
which visits usy they have an eye only
to the advantage Of their own nation. ."
