The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-08-22

pinos aboard destined for various SUI
gar plantations in the islands, and a
small first cabin list of passengers, the
Pacific Mail Steamship Manchuria ar
rived alongside the Hackfeld wharf
about l p. m. yesterday, several hours
late. Notice was posted that the YES
sci would not leave until clock
this afternoon. This was pleasant news
to the passengers, for it is the first
time in many trip that Pacific Mail
boat has been permitted to remain in
this port so long, but the cause is in
the presence of General Manager
Schwerin, now a visitor here, who does
not desire to leave for the Coast until
evening.
There is room aboard for about 125
passengers out of Honolulu and the
agents are accommodating all who
apply for passage. NJ. FL. de Young,
proprietor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, went aboard as soon as the
vessel locked and aseertained that the
accommodations he wanted could be
had, and went uptown satisfied.
On board are 56 cabin, Al second
class and 4SS steerage passengers, six
of the cabin being for Honolulu. The
cargo consists of 6670 tons, of which

ing $40 bags of beans, cases silk
goods, SIP casks of sake, 200 bags pot
ash, AS tubs shoyu, 7245 bags rice,

Pursers and Newspaper7nen.
| Purser Bourne, of the S. S. Manchu-
TIA, is good friend of the marine
| reporters. He always has a personal
| memorandum for each reporter of mat
| tiers of interest about which the news
paper always inquire, and it is a handy
| memo. Even though he did not make
| up the memo, Purser Bourne is al
| ways ready to aid the scribes and
| since the departure of former Purser
Rennie for the Pacific Mail offices he
is one of the best in the service
from a newspaperman' standpoint. The
manner in which the news is handled
aboard big liner, the manner in
which the steamship people meet the
newspapermen, is sure barometer of
the popularity of the ship. 1t must
be said in all fairness that some boats
are more popular than others with the
travelling public, and when an analysis
is made of the reasons, this opinion
is based on the geniality or lack of
it, among the steamships officers. Of
fcers who treat reporters well are Ger
tain to do as much for everybody
! else.
On the T. K. K. boats there is q
bunch of fine officers who are allowed
every freedom possible to get on good
terms with the passengers, and il
| generally results in those passengers
travelling again on the same boat, il
. they cross the Pacific again.
