+ to the wharf where the James Mhkce
and other Miller Salvage vessels are
moorcd, but finding no means Of get
ting out to the Senator, he went up
town, paid visits TO the harbormaster e
Office, arranged for payment Of port
dues, etc. It was when the Senator
came up close to the old bell buoy loea-
| tion in the afternoon that Furneaux
made his appearance on the wharf and
gazed seaward, but he did not 20 out
and the Senator drifted Pearl Harbor-
ward, and then steamed mp and down
slowly.
Wall Of Mothers.
During the forenoon many parents
awoke to the realization that young
sons were missing from the family cir.
cles and at once it was felt by them
that the youngsters had boarded the
Senator the night before. They sought
United States District Attorney Brecl.
ons and suggested that he use his in.
fiuence as an officer Of the federal gov.
ernment TO get their minor sons of the
vessel. II was arranged with represen.
tatives of the ship that If there were
any minors with the names mentioned,
and they wanted to come ashore, they
wonld see to it that they did come
ashore.
Many prospective fshcleaners for the
Alaska Canneries people waited around
the wharf all day hoping to 60 out,
mainly because their luggage had been
taken on board when the Concord made
its visit the evening before. Several
slept in an open boat ON the wharf all
night and one man who had been most
eager to go imbibed too freely, went to
sleep under a boat and awoke j1st
after the Concord had gone, taking his
clothes.
A bunch of Porto Ricans, whom Ho-
nolulu would be well rid of, waited on
the wharf the entire day.
Customs oficers Look.
In the forenoon customs officers went
out and boarded the Senator and
counted the passengers and found they
numbered one hundred and twenty
FIVE. 1t was stated by persons who
went near the Senator that the one
hundred and twenty-five seemed to be
optimistic, although quite number
were seasick. They played cards,
gambled with dice, sang and played ac-
cordions, and were doing a number of
things to pass the time away.
I; No Concord Papers.
The customs officers in the early af-
J ternoon also went aboard the Concord,
lying at wharf, and looked for federal
, documents, which are required to be
posted in the ship in certain portions
and conspicuously displayed. They
!, found no papers of any kind on the
walls of the cabins or in the forecastle
or in the holds, every compartment be-
ing searched. There was not o single
! paper showing that the vessel had
been given any kind of privileges,
, whether to carry passengers or for any
other purpose, and not life preserver
was found.
Waited for Events.
Sheriff Jarrett kept number of of
: ficers on the wharf and instructions
!, were given that as soon as the launch
e or any vessel made an attempt to move
r away to hold the vessel, if it carried
