CITY OF PFKING
ON LAST CRUISE
Once Famous Pacific Liner Is
Bound for the Scrap Heap
as Old Junk

A deal was consun1mated yesterday
that marks the beginning of the end of
the Pacific Mail steamer City of Peking,
a ship that was once the pride of the
Pacific and the vessel that carried the
California volunteers to the Philip
pines in 1898. Through the ship brok-
ing firm of Rinder & Matthews the old
Peking has been sold to j. Wolff. who
Will break the steamer up and sell the
fragments for junk. 1t is said that the
rusty veteran brought about $4,000.
The City of Peking was built S5
years ago al Chester Pa, and for more
than quarter of a century plowed the
waters of the Pacific between here and
the coast of Asia and between here and
Panama. The liners last voyage end
ed January Il, 1907, when it arrived
from Panama. A few days later the
government inspectors notified the Pa
cific Mail company that the Peking
would not be allowed to go to sea
again until the engines had been
placed on new foundations. They also
ordered other work which amounted
to more than the company felt justified
in spending on the old shell.
Captain Tremaine Smith, who COM
nanded the Peking on its famous voy-
age as an army transport, is dead, and
Captain Robinson, who brought the
liner home from Panama on it's last
voyage, has also passed away. The
First California came home again and

passengers. Dewey had cut the cable
that connected Manila with. the rest of
the world and it was not until July
that San Francisco learned of the
safe arrival at Manila of the City of
Peking with the First California in
fantry on board.
The Peking was accompa MED on that
voyage by the steamers Australia and
Zealandia, also chartered as army
transports, and the feet was conveyed
by the Charleston, commanded by the
late Admiral Glass. The Peking was
present at the bloodless capture OF
Guam.
The sale was closed yesterday and
the City of Peking has seen the dawn
of its last new year. Its next cruise is
to the junk pile.
