Marama Had Seven stowaways.

aApAd ~FNNt -
The Mariana was off port at day
light this morning after one of the |
toughest trips she has ever had from
Vancouver to Honolulu. She brought
thirty-two passengers to Honolulu,
and thirty were taken away. There
are even stowaways under guard. AS
these are Canadians and Englishmen
they are being taken on to Suva,
where they will all be landed on
British territory The Mariana was
scheduled to leave again at half-past
twelve for Sydney, via Suva and Auck-
land.
The Mariana was due mere yester-
day morning. She left Vancouver
and Victoria on November 80, and
for two days experienced fine weather
and smooth seas. Shortly afterward
she ran into a strong southerly gale
with heavy head seas, and these con
tinued until two days ago, when the
conditions subsidized and fine weather
was experienced to port.
When the vessel left Vancouver ner
wireless had been fitted. Formerly
the United Wireless had its plant ON
board the Mariana, but this was -e-
moved and replaced with the Marconi
system. A delay took place in effect
ing the change, and the vessel lad
been at sea a few days before the
wireless was an accomplished fact

ing taken the place of J. Moran. In
stead of the six wires that previously
/ spanned the two masts, now there are
only two At nrst it was thought
/ that the heavy seas that the vessel
/ encountered had damaged the outfit.
The Mariana had no cargo to dis
charge here, and with the exception
of the baggage of the thirty outgoing
passengers. she had nothing to take
away.

British Warships to China.
Evidently Great Britain has decide
that the situation in China is seriou
enough to necessitate reinforcing he
fleet in Chinese waters, for the tw
cruisers Pegasus and Prometheu
ihave been ordered to China from tn
Australian station, according TO tn
Sydney Daily Telegraph, of Novembe
13. AS usual the naval authorize
strenuously denied that the cruiser
were being sent in connection wit
the Chinese rebellion.
The Telegraph says: During tn
past few days warships patrolling tn
Australian coast have had changes i
their orders, and it was reported o
Saturday that the Pegasus-whic
has been on the reserve in Sydne
for some time-and the Prometheus-
which arrived in the harbor on Sa
urday from Melbourne-were shortl
to proceed to China.
According to present arrangement
the two vessels will at once prepar
for departure from Sydney, and the
will proceed in the course of da
or two for Thursday Island, probabl
en- route for China, though for tn
time being orders do not carry b.
yond the island named.
No information is at present avail
able as to the significance of thes
somewhat hurried movements, thong
it is regarded as probably the on
come of the Imperial desire t
strengthen British representation
China waters On account of the Al
glo-Japanese alliance and the absenc
from Far Eastern waters of any pow
erful Europeon or American feet, tn
British China squadron was reduce
