MARINE

One of the most interesting arrivals
of yesterday was that of the CONNER
cial Pacific Cable Co. IS supply auxiliary
schooner Flaurence Ward, Captain
Piltz, which got in from Midway. The
"stovepipe boat locked at the foot
of Fort street at 4:35 p. m, in the
presence of throng of people, COM
posed chiefly of friends and relatives of
those aboard.
The Ward would have been twenty
one days out at p. m. yesterday. Nine
days ago she was up to the northward
from $50 to 200 miles from here, but
was caught in the kona which Honolulu
got a taste of and had her progress
badly hindered.
The schooner has been away from
Honolulu six weeks She made the run
to Midway in six days, experiencing
uncommonly good weather Her mis-
sion was to take supplies for the cable
station.
All were well aboard the Ward and
everything on Midway Island was re-
ported lovely.
Three japanese were brought back
who were rescued from an island
forming part of the Pearl and Hermes
Reef by the schooner on her way to the
cable settlement These japanese, hav-
ing been passed by the doctor, were
sent over to the immigrant, station.
Among the passengers by the Flaur
ence Ward was Rupert Tinker, who re-
turns from two years service on Mid
way. Another passenger was C. Brandt,
who has been acting as engineer On the
island for over year. A third passen-
ger was W. Roberts, who went out on
the schooner to work as engineer, but
who returned owing to bad health.
Chiyo Maru Here.
The new 7. K. K. S. S. Chiyo Maru
paid her first visit to Honolulu yester-
day. She was reported shortly after
a. m. and locked at S:35.
The Chiyo Maru is fine looking yes
sci, standing high out Of the water and
this point about her was particularly
| emphasized by the fact that she is
travelling light. She is a sister of the
Tenyo Maru, and is almost a counter
part of that vessel. Her freight ca
pacity is enormous, and she has double
passenger deck space.
The steamer brought only 110S tons
of freight for Honolulu. She will de-
part for San Francisco at a. m. today.
The trip down was a fine but I'M
eventful one. The run from Yokohama
was made in less than ten DAYS, the
Japanese port having been left ON
January Z.
Prominent among the passengers
aboard the Chiyo Maru is S. Tsukahara,
vice president of the company owning
the steamer. He may proceed from San
Francisco to London on a business trip
before returning home.
The purser of the Chiyo Maru is w.
A. Chapman, well and favorably known
here, and who was formerly with the
Nippon Maru and the Hongkong Maru.
DR.. 0. B. Spalding, the ships surgeon,
IS nephew of Colonel Spalding of
Kauai. Much of his life has been spent
in the Islands.
In the steerage came thirty-seven
japanese immigrants, the wives and
sweethearts of men already here.
Yesterday afternoon the steamer was
open to visitors and a great many en-
bracei the opportunity to inspect the
splendid vessel.
