which arrived yesterday from Manila,
left Honolulu, Captain Healey discov-
cred that two Russians and II Filipinos
had slowed away at the island port in

that 13 is an unlucky number the dis
covery displeased the skipper who had
been congratulate ting himself half way
across the Pacific on the absence of
stoWaWays from Manila and Nagasaki.
Z When the Sherman, outward bound,
said "howdy" by wireless Captain Hea-
ley replied that he was very we'll but

stowaways were chased into a boat,
which was lowered and rowed over to
the outward bound trooper The Sher-

day The thirteenth stowaway, Fill
pino, got wind of the skipper's inten-
found until the Sherman had resumed
its way. He will be taken back to Ho-
nolulu on the Sheridan.

Manchuria Sails for Far Enst
The. Pacific Mail liner Maphuria,
Captain ]. w Saunders, sailed yester-
day for the far east with about 200
BgIsnn and fSe iarge gargo Gap
master, remained at home this time
for two months vacation. The liner
sailed promptly on time. To make sure
of a punctual departure the first class
gangway was hauled in at 10 minutes
to 1. The ship was lying at the ends
of piers AZ and Al. The other gangway
was at the end of pier Al. and the re-
suit of this forehandedness was that
half a dozen passengers who put in an
appearance at the end of pier AZ at
eight minutes before the advertised
hour of departure had to sprint about
a quarter of a mile in order to climb
aboard the Asiatic plank on the end
of pier ~ AS the operation of un-
shipping a gangway does not take
more than about 80 seconds tne belated
passengers. particularly one elderly
and rather stout woman showed an
utter lack of appreciation of Mr..
Schwerin's type of punctuality.
r. p. Schwerin. vice president and
general mana ger of the company, was
a passenger on the liner and from the
Manchuria's lofty bridge gazed down
with grim smile on the relieved faces
of those company officials who had att
tended him to the wharf and who linz
gered at the end of the pier either as
a guard of honor or to make sure that
he really went away
Among the passengers on the liner
was Governor w +. F'rear of Hawaii
who is going back to his island terri
tory after a visit to the east, where
he attended the reunion of his Yale
class.
