The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-04-02

morning the Japanese liner Chiyo
Maru took the usual dig at Alakea
wharf and gave the usual exhibition
of unwieldiness in getting into the
slip. 1t would seem that the eccen-
tricities of these big turbiners are be-
yond the solution of local pilots, for
they never fail to cause q sensation in
the slip and to crush in few string
ers before they are finally hauled
about with lines and great labor.
The Chiyo locked this morning
shortly after 10 o'clock after narrowly
missing the government wharf Wal
kiki of the Alakea slip, running her
bow squarely into the outer end of
Alakea and taking a few broadside
bumps at the much abused wharf.
On board the Chiyo were three pas
sengers for Honolulu, 100 cabin pas
sengers for Oriental ports, 112 in the
second class and 1876 Asiatics in the
steerage. In addition to the regular
travellers there were two Japanese
stowaways and unfortunates who
are being deported from the Coast.
One of the latter caused a slight SEN
sation just after the gangplank was
down by attempting to stroll ashore,
and the ships officers, with a fine of
$1,000 in prospect, fastened to seize
the runaway and put him in safe keep
ing.
The passengers on board the Chiyo
this trip are chiefly tourists, but there
are also a number of tea merchants
and buyers Of Oriental merchandise
bound for the Far East on business.
The usual deck sports and contests
prevailed and were made possible Ivy
fair weather and a smooth sea.
Chief Steward William Ashman was
among the missing when the steamer
arrived here today and his successor,
Thomas Newton, was officiating. Ash
man has gone into business on the
Coast. Also G.. G. Bedding, formerly
of the Minnesota, is listed as acting
freight clerk instead of Thomas Nc
Combe, who is to be purser of the
Nippon.
The cargo of 1900 tons is chiefly
general merchandise, with a large
shipment of cotton, and the treasure
this trip includes 700 bars of silver.
The passengers who will stop over
at Honolulu are P. ]. Bell, Mrs. Bell
and infant.
