WILHELMINA'S BIG SEND-OFF

There was an enthusiastic send-off
accorded the Wilhelmina this morning
when she pulled out for San Francisco.
She is a popular ship always, and this
morning she left with her holds almost
full and with a large list of passen-
gers. In the cabins there were 1873
with twenty-five in the steerage, the
majority of the latter being Portugu-
ese, with a sprinkling of Russians.
Bergers band was in attendance and
played wide selection of music. This
morning he played some Irish airs by
special request, and threw in The
Girl left Behind Me-" all because
there was an Irish passenger going
away, who had proved extremely popu-
lar here. There was a rich profusion
of leis, and colored streamers were
thrown from the ship to the shore and
back again.
In her holds she carried nearly 5000
tens of cargo. This included 1000
cases of canned pineapples, 1900
punches of bananas, 5000 bags of rice.
500 bags of coffee, as well as the usual
cargo. As Charlie Spen-
Ger the popular head of the Matson
wharf said this morning, she had a
little of everything, including molas-
ses, honey and green pineapples. He
was rather disappointed because the
did not come in as promis-
ca. A week ago he had $4,000 in sight.
but only 41,000 materialized owing to
delay at the canneries. But he
was almost compensated Tor this by
the fact that 1920 punches of bananas
form the biggest cargo of this product
the Wilhelmina has ever taken at one
time. There was some quick work in
leading the Wilhelmina, for the w. G.
Hall had to shoot 1000 odd bags of
sugar into her and then a whole lot of
canned pineapples had to be on board
With his Characteristic energy Spencer
went to work and got extra gangs of
men to work on both boats, and he
superintended the work himself. The
consequence was that shortly before
ten o'clock the last good-byes had been
said and the mail slowed and all that
was needed was the striking of the ten
to let go the lines. The Wilhelmina
pulled out dead on time to the strains
Of Aloha De, which were drowned in
the screaming of the whistles of the
inter-island boats as they said good
bye to president Kennedy.
The Wilhelmina is due at San Fran
cisco on Tuesday morning next.
