ularity is remarkable. Her average
voyage is fourteen days, which is the
length of the one Just completed, and
there is no delay at this end. She
brings on this occasion to the Associ-
ated Oil Co., 1880 barrels of crude
oil, and $50 drums of gasoline. The

smooth seas being met with through
out.
The ship will leave, if possible. al ,
halfpast four this afternoon for Gavi-
ota. There is, however, a probability
that she will not get away again until
tomorrow morning.

San Francisco Chronicle, August 6.
From indications given at the sail

the local florists must have done a
lourishing business before the ships
departure, There was a veritable flor
ISIS display. Not only did the women
carry numerous and large punches of

hand could not have weighed more
