Sherman Brings More Defenders.

dlgnlhed arrival IN port this morning
after a leisurely trip of eight days
from San Francisco, berthing at the
Oceanic wharf, where she poured out
her human freight of officers and men,
as well as a number of women and
children, who have accompanied hus-
band and fathers and sons to their
new home.
Soon after the boat was tied up, the
dock began to present an animated
appearance, for the seventy-eight men
of the L. S. NJ. c. We're drawn up and
then marched off to their quarters at
| Camp Very. The vessel was crowded,
for there We're twenty-nine in the first
cabin, fifty second cabin and $50 steer
age for Honolulu, six in the first cabin,
one in the second, three in the steer
age for Guam, and eighty-siX in the
first cabin, eighteen in the second,
and 600 in the steerage for Manila,
making a grand total, when the boat
left San Francisco, of 1,153.
! A number of those who were kept
on board amused themselves by buy
ing pineapples from the Chinese vend-
OF on the wharf. The Chinese had
very erratic aim, and it usually took
about four Attempts to enable him
! to land the fruit on the deck of the
| transport Each failure was greeted
with ironical cheers, and then when
at last the fruit would be caught,
! the fact would be heralded with ap-
plause. The Chinese grinned good
naturedly, but when he threw one up
! that missed the soldiers above, and
fell into the water, the applause was
deafening. Some Kanaka boys show
ed great enterprise and patience in
fishing for the floating fruit with a
wire that was bent to a more or less
/ correct circle.
The officers were SOON renewing old
acquaintance on the wharf, and the
work of bringing out the 500 tons of
freight for here was begun simultane-
ously with the debarkation of the
troops. Crude signs were in readiness
and stationed at various points on the
dock directing the men from each
section where to go in order that they
might be dispatched with the least
amount of confusion. Customs men
kept the gangway clear in order that
the officers would not be hampered
in any way
