CATION OF Los Angeles people who
had been spending vacation In
Northern California but who had been
attracted by the promotion efforts
from Hawaii, decided against making
the round trip in the Sierra, owing
to the alarming reports concerning

stated an officer in the popular liner
today.
The Sierra, with capacity for two
hundred and twenty-five cabin pas
sengers brought but forty-four opas-
sengers in her cabins. Thirteen ira
veled steerage.
The vessel met with fine weather
most of the way down. Owing to
weather conditions, the wireless fail

though communication had been es-
tablished with the Pacific coast sta
tons.

Sierra, the Union Steamship Manuka

tralia and New Zealand. 1t Is said

Vancouver-Australian run, and will
therefore become "a regular visitor

Aforementioned steamer Arizonau
was also sighted.
! While small In numbers the Sierra
crowd was lively one Purser Tom

Deck sports and evening concerts
we're the rule.
Under the existing quarantine but
five officers are permitted to leave
the Sierra during her five days stay

a rather discontend crowd of men
on board connected with the ship in
minor capacities who may be expect
