The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-09-11

Word was received here Yesterday
from the mainland that the tug Cudahy,
in towing the steam schooner Fair
Oaks into Willapa Harbor, Washing
ton. had run aground with her tow
inst below the city of South Bend
The Fair Oaks scraped bottom as she
was being lowed out of Gray's Har-
Dor, and before the Cudahy had let
90 her tow line. it was found that the
Steamer was leaking badly, SO that it
was necessary to iettison her deckload
to keep the vessel afioat. An attempt
was made to run the steamer into
South Bend and the bar was negotiated
successfully, but the steamer was so
much down by the head that she could
not be steered up the river. Both
the steamer and the tug are, accord
ing to latest reports, high and dry in
the Willapa river. The above facts
are of considerable local interest in
asmuch as the tug Cudahy is the sister
boat OF the tug Intrepid in this port,
now owned by the Matson Navigation
Company. 1t is also Of local inter
est inasmuch as Captain Tom Stream,
now in port in command of the schoon-
er W. G. Watson, was a short time
ago master of the Cudahy.
China Arrives from Coast.
With one of the heaviest passenger
lists she has ever carried, the Pacific
Mail steamer China arrived here early
yesterday morning and locked at the
Channel wharf, continuing her voyage
to the Orient again in the evening at
5 o'clock. The China brought down
considerable mail from the Coast, as
well as 400 tons of freight.
Forty of the cabin passengers were
for this city, a large number of them
being school teachers returning from
their summer vacations. The China
had very pleasant trip down from
San Francisco.
Mauna Kea In and Out.
Bringing a large number of passen-
gers from Hawaii and Maui ports, the
Inter-Island flagship Mauna Kea ar
rived here early yesterday morning,
sailing again for the Big Island at 5
clock last night. She had only a
small number of passengers on the re-
turn trip, this being accounted for by
the fact that she is bound for Hiio
direct. She is expected to arrive here
from Hawaii. via Maui, with the Con-
gressiona1 party on board, tomorrow
afternoon.
The Claudine left for Maui last
evening. The Mauna Loa arrived from

Arizonan in Terrific Storm.
s. F. BulIetin.-Passing through sew
eral experiences each of which threat
ened disaster, the American Hawaiian
Company IS steamer Arizonan, in com
mand of Captain Delano, was in the
grasp of hurricane off Pillar Points
near the Strait of Magellan and it was
TOUR DAYS before she reached safety.
Big seas swept over the vessel and
she tossed and rolled in the treaeher-
Gus waters of the strait. Ordinarily the
Arizonan makes from ten to twelve
knots an hour She was unable, how
ever, to buck the strong northwest
hurricane and the best time that she
was able to make was between three
and five miles an hour for five days
The steamer sustained no damage, and
after passing through its terrifying ex-
perienee made the trip to this port
in safety.
The big freighter left Norfolk, Va,
sixty-two days ago with 1900 tons
of coal for the United States Navy.
1t was drawing thirty-two feet of
water at the time it went aground in
the channel near Norfolk. 1t lay there
six hours. but was foated without
damage at high water.
On July 20 Captain Delano discov-
cred that a part of the cargo had
become heated and a force of men was
sent to work trimming five hundred
tons of coal In the number hatch
the discovery of the Captain came just
in time as delay would probably have
resulted in a fire on board. The YES
sci put in at Punta Arenas on July
\ .25. remaining there six days before
resuming her voyage to San Francisco
Schooner Aloha Arrives.
Twenty seven days out from Taco
ma. the schooner Aloha arrived here
late yesterday afternoon. She was
sighted early yesterday afternoon, and
came into dock before dark. The
Aloha brought down a large cargo OF
lumber for this port, consigned to
Levers & Cooke, and it will probably
be discharged at the Bishop slip. The
Aloha had fair passage down from
the port of the Orient
as Tacoma is called, light winds pre-
vaiiing all the way.
That.T. K. K. Deficit.
In connection with the much talked
of deficit of YSo0.o 900, the Togo Kisen
