Liner China Sails Today
The Pacific Mail liner China will sail
today for the orient with S5 cabin pas
sengers and rs Asiatics in the steer
age. This is the largest number of
cabin passengers that the China has
carried for many voyages, and is the
result of the reduced rates recently put
into effect on the steamers China and
Asia Captain Friele has been granted
leave of absence and the China will
leave here in command of Captain NJ,
7. Bailey, who was chief officer. As
master of some of the finest Ameri-
can sailing ships Captain Bailey was
well known before he entered the Pa
cifc Mail service. In changing from
sail TO steam he had to go down
few steps in the ladder of rank. He
accepted the conditions of subordinate
rank gracefully and cheerfully. He had
made good and had won a command
in sail, and his present appointment
indicates that he has made good in
steam. The China will sail at l o'clock.

Captain Pillsburys directions, the
