Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1911-02-10

To meet a rapidly increasing trade
the cabin accommodation on board
the Oceanic steamship Sierra has
been Increases b. between seventy
and eight passengers.
During the short time that the
popular liner remained at San Fran
cisco a large force Of workmen
swarmed over the ship ana extensive
alterations were made on cabin decks
of that vessel. Heretofore a generous
portion Of the after part of the ship
had been reserved for secCnl class
passengers part. Experience in the
San Francisco-Hono,u Il trade has de-
monstrated that there has been but
very little. call toi this class of trans
pOrtatiOn.
A transformation has been wrought
even in the short time allotted the
vessel at the colst Port. A number
of fine staterooms have been added
and furnished in style in perfect
keeping with the rest CT the palatial
craft. A cozy little lounsing room
has been fitted up as well as an extra
dining saloon.
That the management of the Sierra
was justified in erecting the change
was plcasingly demonstra ed on the
trip down FROM the coast. The Sierra
arrived of the quarantine shortly aft
er nine O'Clock this morning after
having met with nasty weather dur
ing the last twenty-fCur hours of the
voyage.
One hundred and seventy six cabin
and 90 steerage pas engegs were in
cludod in tie number that were
brought to Honolulu to add to the
evet increasing crowd of strangers
ana tourists,
A safe estimate Of the tourists in
cluded in the Sierra's list would place
the number at one hundred and fifty.
Two sittings were required to supply
all corners with their several meals
each day.
The weather from the time of leav-
ing San Francisco until early last
evening was pronounced as is ideal.
AS the Sierra neared the group. strong
trades and rough seas did much to
retard the progress of the ship
The launch which the Federal
quarantine medical officers employ to
pay their visits TO incoming steamers
failed to gain the open sea. The
quarantine officers boarded the YES
sells as she steamed through the chan
mel. The Customs and immigration
authorities followed suit.
The genial and ever obliging Dr.
G. w. Clark had but few cases OF
serious illness resulting from rough
weather.
Captain HOuilette. Purser Smith
AMI DR.. Clarke devised all sorts of
amusements for the enjoyment of the
large list of passengers. Chief Stew
ard Carleton certainly had his hands
full in caring for the unusually large
number. But, despite the crowd,
there was nothing but econiums of
praise coming from the travellers as
they stepped ashore this morning. Il
would be hard to beat a bunch of ST.
ezra officers when it comes TO enter
tanners par excellent.
Three hundred and siytv six sacks
mail were transferred at the Oceanic
wharf the weather being too rough
and stormy for the post Office launch
to gain the side of the steamer and
effect a transfer of the letter Jail
Included in the cargo of.2485 ton
was shipmen- of 12 900 sacks ce-
ment Four automobiles arrived
three being the property of passen-
gers who hope to use the machines
IN making their tour of the islands.
Shortly after sailing from San (!
Francisco, the officers unearthed one
stoWaway. youth named Charlie
Miller who gave his age as seven
teen and claimed Los Angeles as his
home port.
