from Pnlladelphla, VIA Hilo.
While at Hilo, nearly all the
crew went on shore and after they
had put enough liquor under their
belts to allow the plimsoll mark to be
above the water line, they bought
more and took it in tow for the ship,
where they could drink it better, and
besides, it was more easily carried
that way. They steered a direct course
for their ship, and got on board with
out the loss of any cargo.
Slowing operations began immedi-
ately, with the result that soon matches
had to be closed down, and they crawl
ed into their hunks. Among those
who became incapacitated was the
watchman. The first mate went for
ard to have look. AS he saw the
spectacle a grin stole over his face,
for he was feeling pretty good him.
self. He said "go to it kids, you're do.
ing fine" But all the same he thought
that someone ought to be on watch.
He mentioned this matter to Captain
Olsen, who then went forward aud had
look for himself. He saw and heard
the watchman asleep, and then went
aft again. He said that he did not
speak to the men, but it seemed they
took offense at the captain going to
their apartments, so a big German
sailor and the watchman, who had
been awakened and told of the affront
that had been offered him, went up
to the poop where the mate was, to
tell him their candid opinion.
In order the better to impress the
mate, they carried with them capstain
bars. The mate told them to stay
where they were, and explanations
could be made in Romeo and Juliet
fashion. The pair, however, preferred
to be nearer to him, and accordingly
they deployed. One went up on the
starboard steps, and the other the port
side. The mate, of course, could only
look after one side, so with the idea
of frightening them he pulled his gun
which had been loaded with blank
cartridges, for just such an emerg-
ency. He fired it near the head of
the German sailor first. 1t went off
with a terrific bang and Immediately
the sailor yelled that he had been shot
through the head. The mate pulled
the trigger once again, this time near
the watchman, and the latter yelled
that he had been shot through the
head, too. This was too much for
them. They had no resistance to Of
fer after having been done up in this
manner, so they went forward again,
and promptly went to sleep. When
they awoke they were astonished to
find that they were " the same world,
and moreover that they had no holes
in their heads. 1t was too much for
the German, he could not figure out
how any man could be such a rotten
shot, so he quit the ship. The watch
man figures that he is now quite safe,
so he has resolved to stay.

Sierra Not Heard From.
Usually az this time of her journey
to Honolulu, the Sierra has wirelessed |
in her location at eight o'clock the
previous night, but so far she has
tailed to do so. 1t is assumed that the |
conditions were not favorable, as an
attempt to catch her last night proved
futile, and so did an endeavor to re-
lay through the Manchuria.
