supersede the liner Mariposa on the
Tahiti route, owing to the increased
amount of business offered through
the improved connections at the
French South Pacific islands by the
Union Steamship Company. Accord
ing to the officers of the Sierra, there
is much more work for the San Fran
cisco-Tahiti steamer to do since the
Australian steamship company has
arranged to place new liner, the
Mokoai in service between yelling
ton, n. T., and Tahiti. It is claim
ed that the Mokoai is fast, luxurious
and commodious and, withal, is a
model passenger ship.
I'VE made a noise closely resem-
bling that from Halley's comet as
we gracefully glided past the steam
err Wilhelmina on the last voyage to
San Francisco" was the comment
OF an officer connected with the oce-
anic Steamship Company liner Sierra,
an arrival at the port this morning
bringing passengers, freight and
mails from the Coast.
when you see U. s. mail PEN
nant flying from the Sierra's main
mast, II is a safe bet that this craft
will not indulge In any sidestepping
on Coastbound voyage"
With the exception of one day, the
trip was pleasant one. On the
voyage down from San Francisco,
Professor II. c. Lord of the Emerson
Mcmillan observatory of Columbus,
TO-, gave highly interesting lecture
upon astronomy. His address added
muchly in clearing up any mystery
that might exist concerning the Hal
ley comet, which was greatly ad-
mired by the Sierra passengers. Pro-
fessor Lord Is accompanied by Pro-
lessor L. F. Coddington, and II is the
intention of the astronomers to take
nightly observations of the comet
during its passage within the range
OF vision OF terrestrial star-gazers.

Frank NJ. McGrew, who made an
involuntary round trip to San Fran
cisco by the Sierra, has returned and

ed in his work OF taking the census
Of those who had booked passage In
the Sierra at her departure for San
Francisco last trip that he failed to
heed the warning toot OF the steam
err as the lines were cast OF. Nc.
Grew did not show up on the deck
of the vessel until the Sierra had
passed beyond swimming distance OF

then too late to put the customs of.

against taking passage to the Coast
|. McGrew stayed with the Oceanic yes
sci and, through the generosity oil
rfiends, was enabled to piece Out
