The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-05

The Honomlan arrived direct from
Seattle this morning, and completed
the worst trip she has ever had. For
seven days she was in the midst of
southwest gale with the highest seas
popular Captain Bennett has ever en-
countered. The ship came through
the storm without mishap, but lot
of deck cargo was washed overheard
including many barrels of salmon.
The velocity of the wind is indicated
by the fact that a lot of the shingles
carried as deck cargo were blown off.
The Honolulan started from Seattle
last Sunday week and Immediately
ran into rough weather. For seven
days this storm continued The mules
on deck looked pretty sick as the re-
suit of the severe buffeting, but as
soon as the vessel ran into calm
weather two days ago they began to
| pick up. The animals suffered no
harm. All sorts Of praise has been
| bestowed on the vessel for the excel
lent seagoing qualities that she mani
tested during the stormy period.
The trip, quite apart from the bad
weather, was not a very spirited one.
There were only fourteen passengers
in the ship. This naturally detracts
from the pleasure of a voyage, as the
usual sports program can not be car
ried out, even in the finest weather
with so few people to participate.
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in
the usual manner. An excellent din
ner was provided and afterward a
concert was held in the social hall.
In her holds the Honolulan brought
large cargo. The major portion Of
it is for Honolulu This totals about
5000 tons and includes big shipment
of hay and grain for the quartermast-
er's department, ten thusand barrels
of salmon, some fertilizer for H. Hack
field & Co., and kerosene. On deck
there were twenty-five mules for the
Schuman Carriage Company, lot of
shingles and some heavy logs for Lew
ers & Cooke, TO be used as spuds for
dredgers.
The vessels also has some freight
for Kahuluii, Kaanapali, Port Allen
and Hilo. Among the Kahului freight
are many telegraph poles.
The Honolulan, as far as is now
known. will leave for Port Allen Oh
Thursday and will finally leave Hilc
direct for Seattle, where there is an
other big cargo offering for these is
lands. The vessel is berthed at the
old Matson wharf at the foot of Nuu
anu street.
