Shell scares Passengers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-The
officers and passengers of the Matson
steamship HOnolulan, arriving yester-
day afternoon from Kahului, were sud-
denly startled as the liner headed in
for the Golden Gate by the ominous
shrek of six-inch shell, which
whizzed over the vessel and fell into
the sea several thousand yards to
Windward, sending a spiral of spray
high into the air.
The shell came from one of the
guns OF Battery Chamberlain at Fort
Baker and was aimed at a stationary
target anchored 5000 yards off shore.
Previous to their close approach to
the headlands those on the Honolulan
had witnessed a number of shells drop
into the ocean in the vicinity of the
target, but they were unprepared for
the shot which cleft the atmosphere
over their heads. According to Cur
tain Bennett, the great missile passed
above the steamer amidships. Several
OF the passengers were badly fright
ened, but the captain assured them
that the gunners on the bluff probably
