SIERRA AND WILHELMINA SAIL
TOGETHER FOR THE COAST

a large gathering and the scene was
a pretty one. The custom of throwing
streamers from the vessel to those
standing on the dock is an established
one and is thoroughly enjoyed.
Punctually at ten o'clock she was
ready to pull out, and the flag bearing
the letters U. 5. NJ, indicating that
she had the mail, was flying out on
the cool breeze, as though it were
proud to be there.
Notwithstand the counter attraction.
as it were, the Sierra had a good
crowd of passengers, for there were
Lightweight in her cabins and twenty
in the steerage. This, of course, makes
her look like an empty ship when it
is remembered that she has 25O cab
ms.
She was full ship as far as cargo
was concerned, but It was all meas
urement, and thus she looked light.
In the holds were nearly 10000 cases
of pineapples, 5000 punches of ba-
nanas, a small shipment of coffee, 1,
coo bags of rich, and some fresh pine
iapples. The miscellaneous cargo to-
tailed in weight about 1900 tons.
There were eighteen boxes of live
frogs included in the list. This is a
venture that one of the crew is max
ing. If he is successful he will try to
work up business in these delica.
, cies.
The Sierra is due at San Francisco
on Tuesday morning next.
WilheImina Has Good Crowd.
The Wilhelmina was dead on time
in pulling out this morning, for no
sooner had ten o'clock struck than
she was ready for her long journey
Her gangway was lowered very
quickly and she pulled out amid the
strains Of Berger's band
She had ninety-two in her cabins
and twenty-seven in the steerage I'm
der her matches she has the balance
OF the seasons sugar, and big mis-
cellaneous cargo, comprising canned
pineapples. Altogether she has about
1900 tons of cargo.
There was the usual scene of gaiety |
mingled with tears as she left. She
will have the company of the Sierra
across the Pacific for some time. as
both pulled out practically together.

Tuesday morning.
