Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1911-12-20

With several side ports smashed in,
and showing indications of battle
with succession of heavy seas, the
ntcr-Islaud steamer Claudine, from
Hilo by the way of Maui ports steam
ed into Honolulu this morning after
having encountered some of the
toughest weather in many trip.
Purser Charles A. Kibling. of the
,laudlne experienced mighty stren-
uuus time on the homeward voyage,
though he did not have great deal
e. say of the rough handling that ho
was subjected to through the taking
IN board of several monsterous seas.
The purscrs Office and several ad-
Joining cabins were flooded by the
rush of waters which swept over the
title steamer while steaming across
he Hawaii channel after leaving HilO
on last Monday evening.
BY the time that the Claudine
reached Kahuui, the worst Of the
weather had become a thing OF the
PAST, though still an unpleasant menu
Dry for officers and crew.
The damage done the vessel is de-
Clared as nominal. The Claudinc is
y very good sea boat. Deck cargo
escaped without being materially af-
iccted by the avalanche of green seas
which continually swept over the
bow.
The steamer brought fair sized
list OF cabin and deck passengers who
luckily suffered no injuries in the
strenuous trip. The freight list In
ciuded one auto, quantity of empty
bottles, rs crates chickens, hogs. %
sacks beans, 3Gi packages sundries,
tG barrels wine, 81 sacks corn and
1898 feet Of hardwood lumber.
Purser Eibling reports having met
the Matson Navigation steamer Lur-
line and schooner Balboa ut Kahului.
Throughout the trip strong winds and
heavy seas prevailed.
Many Japanese Sail for Dai Nippon.
The departure OF the Togo Kisen
Kasha liner Shinyo Maru for Japan
ports and Hongkong shortly after four
o'clock yesterday afternoon brought
many japanese To the wharf to bid
farewell to departing friends or rela-
tivcs who to the number Of one hun
lred and fifty sailed for Dli Nippon.
The big liner pulled away leaving a
little crowd of passengers still at the
wharf amid their tears and good-byes.
These were hustled into waiting
boat and before the ShinyO Maru had
squared away In the stream for the
entrance of the channel all were
safely aboard and everybody happy.
Eut few Chinese are departing for
their native land despite the near
approach of Chinese New Year. The
officers in the Shinyo Maru plan for
q merry time both on Christmas and
New Year. These holidays will be
httlngly observed by all on board. A
vast amount of delicacles OF the sea-
son win be incorporated In the menus

Siberia Has Small Cargo.
That the Pacific Mail liner Siberia
10 arrive here from San Francisco on
next Monday morning Is well laden
with through freight for Oriental
ports is borne out by the receipt OF
cable by II. Hackfeld and Company
10 the effect that the Siberia has less
| than two hundred tons cargo for Ho,
nolulu. The siberia will probably
bring down large number of Homo,
lulu passengers. The last Christmas
mail is due TO arrive In this steamer
