Luck of Peterson.
According TO stories published in the
San Francisco papers, George Peterson
slowed away on the last trip of the
Alameda to the mainland, and would
have been returned to Honolulu had it
not been for the pity which some Of
the passengers took for him. They
raised purse to pay his passage to
the mainland, so Captain DOwdell con
tinued his course Peterson is presum-
ably the pugilist who came down here
to fight Dick Sullivan. He was not
given a very cordial reception in this
city bv some of the fans, and was APP
parenfly glad to get out of the city.
The Chronicle says as follows:
FfThe generosity of the passengers on
the Alameda saved George Peterson, a
Youthful stowaway, from being return
ed to Honolulu when he was discover
ed while the vessel was passing Dia-
mond Head. Captain Dowdeli would
have turned back, but several passen-
gers took pity on the wandering lad
and collection was taken up sufficient
to pay his passage
