The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-12

First thing this morning the Tenyo
Maru was off port from San Francisco.
While real bad weather cannot be re-
ported of the voyage, the sea was
bumpy enough to make nearly all the
passengers seasick 1t was due to
this unfavorable weather that the
usual games were not played, and, in
stead of one long round of gaiety on
the liner, there was only one dance
held throughout the six-day journey.
The absence of popular purser Reed
through Illness, of course, was big
factor in the matter of entertainments,
but still Captain Bent Dr. Crooks and
the other officers are never behind in
helping to entertain the passengers.
Honolulu drew thirty-three lay-overs
out of the cabin passengers. These
include many prominent people of the
mainland. Going through there are
now 101 cabin passengers, seventy
eight in the second-class with eighty
eight Japanese and fifty-seven Chinese
in the steerage There are over five
thousand tons of cargo for the Orient,
the major portion of which is cotton,
with $50 bars of silver. The mail is
a big one for here-61S bags. Some
of this is for transhipment to the
Sherman tomorrow for Manila. There
is seven days accumulation.
The Tenya Maru will leave for the
Orient at five o'clock this afternoon.
She is berthed at the new Hackfeld
wharf and taking on a few hundred
tons of oil.
SHERMAN TOMORROW
OR WEDNESDAY
The u S. A transport Sherman will
not reach this port until late Tuesday
or Wednesday morning.
The delay in the arrival of the
troopship this month is due to the
fact that although the Sherman left
the transport dock at San Francisco
on schedule time, at noon on Monday
last, a call at Monterey, California,
had to be made in order to pick up
the entire Eighth Infantry, U. S. army
which has completed its tour of duty
at the Preside, Monterey.
LURLINE WILL BE LATE.
The Lurline will not arrive on Wed.
nesday morning as was expected. She
wirelessed in last night the bare in
formation that she will not arrive I'M
til Wednesday evening. In the cir
cumstances, therefore, it must be as
sumed that she is meeting with some
of the rough weather that the Tenyo
Maru encountered, and that this will
keep her back.
She has for Honolulu $500 tons of
cargo, seventeen automobiles, l2G
bags of express natter, seventy-two
passengers and III sacks of mail. This
is one Gays accumulation of mail, for
the Tenyo Maru left on Tuesday last
and the Lurline left the following
day.
THETlS BATTERED BY STORMS.
Badly battered by the heavy storms
that have been OBTAINING mail steam
ers, the U. S. revenue cruiser Thetis
ambled into port yesterday afternoon,
twenty days out of Seattle.
For long time the Thetis was

weather, but this did not save her
from material damage, for her wire.

Captain Cochrane declared that the
weather encountered was worse than
anything he had ever seen during his /
