day-No Coast Freight in American Hawaiian Mexican
-Mauna Kea Here With Hawaii Cargo-Mauna loa to
Bring Big Coffee Shpment-For StoWaways to Try the
Climate. ..

The smashing of big electric light
fitting soon followed by the parting
OF a cable which supported sling in
which repOsed a number Of drums ot
oil and several other accidents of like
nature are reported by Captain Nc
Donald, the master of the fine oil
tanker w. f. IIcrrin which Is now
discharging a quantity of fuel oil and
many drums Of distillate at Railway
wharf after completing a voyage Of
nine days from the coast
This rounds out the first lap OF
the thirteenth voyage for this vessel,
wOefully declared an officer this morn
ing. II do not as general thing
take much stock in hoodoo. but |
believe that such boogaboo is stow
ed aboard this hooker Judging from
the train OF misfortuncs which have
overtakcn the vessel since arrival
here.
Four stOwaways were dragged forth
from hiding places amid the gasO-
line drums soon after the Herrln had
proceeded TO sea from the California
oil port They were induced to try a
hand at the working Of the ship ami
il did not require great deal of per-
suasion to secure their rather reluct-
ant cooperation.
The tanker has but half cargo
Of crude oil. but brings down an un-
usual large number of drums of gaso-
line. The Herrin used the powerful
searchlight last evening in coming in
to the harbor and with good results.
The vessel will be given a prompt
dispatch through the local branch OF
| the Union Oil Company to which yes.
sci and cargo are consigned.
