command Of that vessel.
A. A. Dunning, who was chief Off
Ger on the Beaver under Nelson, will
take command of the Kansas City.
Nelson is one of the veterans of the
Pacific Mail. He has been in the en-
ploy Of the company for twenty-six
years. Since 1902 when he rose to the
rank Of commander, he has been the
skipper of Panama steamers and those
plying on the San Francisco and
Portland run. Before that he held
various positions, having been chief
officer Of the China and the Pekin be-
tween San Francisco and the Orient
for twelve years.
Nelson first knew of his promotion
when the Beaver arrived from the
north. Soon afterwards, he met Cap
tain Fisher, who took his successor
to the Korea and introduced him 70
the different officers. While express
ing their pleasure to meet their neY
chief, the officers and men regret the
passing of Fisher who during the
time he has been commander has be-
come bit more popular than the
average commander.
OTHER CHANGES.
H. Stelker, who is acting purser for
this trip, has won himself a good
name on the run from San Francisco,
all the passengers speaking well of
the young officeholder. He was for
merly freight clerk on the Panama
run. "T am only holding the job
down for this trip as far as I know
now," he said this morning. ALLEN
is laid up and takes a rest on the
advice of his doctor"

making the run for the first time on
the Korea, having been transferred

HERCULES BACK TO PORT
Flashing the S. o. S. signal by
means of waving arms, shouting and
other devices the men on the dredge
California managed to convey to Car
tain Dan Thompson on the tug Her,
cules that discretion would be the
better part of yalor and that as they
were making eleven inches an hour

All this happened when the tug
Hercules with the dredge in tow had
left Honolulu about forty miles astern

drag to San Francisco. The strain
on the dredge caused the craft TO
