a long time, but he got into an argu-
ment with a doctor who wanted to
walk the deck with a lady passenger
put in charge of the captain. The
doctor who was deprived of the pleas
ure of the lady's company made a
life,sized complaint about the matter
at San Francisco, hence temporarily
at all events, Captain Lockett is seen
not on the bridge of the Persia. The
matter has not yet been settled and
possibly Captain Lockett viii soon be
/ seen here again in command Of the
little British boat.
, The Persia reports a fairly good Trip
! from San Francisco. The sea had not
thoroughly subsidized after its recent
, tempestuous demonstrations, a little
roll having been experienced practical
ly all along the trip just to remind
the passengers that they were at sea.
The voyage was quiet one through
out, there being really no entertain
ments at all. The only lively part of
the journey was at two o'clock on
Sunday last when two stowaways were
transferred from the Siberia TO the
Persia. The job was rather hazar-
dous one, as the sea was running fair
ly high for small boat 1t was taken
on board the Persia as an indication
that Captain Feeder was anxious to
get rid Of his non-paying passengers,
when he took such chances. The work
of overhauling these two people from
the smallpox ship Siberia was a long
one, and the Persia was long time
alongside the dock before it was com
pleted.
The Persia has fifty-three cabin pas
sengers, two in the second-class and
thirty-two in the steerage. The fact
that there are so few in the steerage
is attributed to the Chinese New Year.
There are five layoyers for Honolulu,
There is a general cargo for the
| Orient. The Persia will take on four
hundred tons of coal here. She is
listed to sail at five o'clock, but owing
to the work Of getting the coal in
having been delayed somewhat this
morning. II is doubtful whether she
can be dispatched before seven o'clock
tomorrow morning.
WlLHELMlNA HAD SMOOTH TRIP.
The trip of the Wilhelmina was an
rngy
due to the presence of some excellent
theatrical performers, who gave some
first-clsss entertainments, and the
ships officers got up some dances The
weather, too, was propitious, for the
roll that prevailed did not affect the
ship very much.
The Wilhelmina brought here ia
in the cabins and fourteen in the ster-
age, with three stowaways, who were
turned loose here. The majority of
the passengers in the cabins COM
prised tourists, many of whom will
90 back in the Wilhelmina.
For Honolulu there are 22OO tons OF
cargo and seventeen automobiles %
for Hilo there are eight hundred tons
of general cargo,
The Wilhelmina will leave for Hilo
at midnight on Thursday and return
next Tuesday morning, leaving for
San Francisco the following morning
at ten o'clock,
sHINBU MARU WITH COAL.
The Japanese steamer Shinbu Maru
arrived from Karatzu this morning
with 5000 tons of coal for the Inter
Island S. N. Company She has been
twenty-one days coming over and a
fairly good trip was experienced
throughout. All the officers are Jap
anese, The Shinbu had neither pas
sengers nor mail.
KlLAUEAs CARGO SHIFTED.
With a horrible list to starboard
this morning the Kilauea came in
from Kona and Kau ports. Ill-luck
seems to have logged the Kilauea the
whole voyage. Perhaps those who are
supersutlous VII say that because she
started on her trip on February Is
this unlucky figure is to blame.
AS recorded in yesterdays Star,
Purser Sheldon broke mis- leg in
motor car accident, and on the way
over the coffee cargo shifted during
the heavy weather encountered, and a
bull died. There was an amount of
chaos on board this morning. Tn"
usual neatly-written passenger and
| cargo lists were not available, owing
to the extra work thrown on the
freight clerk by the inability Of Pur-
ser Sheldon to help. Purser Sheldon
had to be taken to Queens Hospital
The Kilauea brought in a migcsI
laneous cargo, comprising eggs, but
ter, thirty head of cattle, coffee etc.
but no sugar, Purser J. Logan Of the
W. G. Han will take Purser Sheldons
place
