SCHOONER IN GALE LOSES Anchor
BLOWN TO SEAOFF HAWAII COAST

Gales which lashed the seas off
--Mahukona. laval to, feather white
ness, parted the American schooner
Annie Johnson from her anchorage
and that vessel was sent to the open
sea, causing delay OF over twenty
four hours in returning to the Big
Island port, where the cargo brought
dow from San Francisco is TO he dis
charged
The skipper. his officers and men
were rather unprepared for the sud
den breaking away from the anchor
age. When the heavy chain parted on
last Wednesday morning, the captain
ordered sail and the Annie Johnson
= set course as far away from the
land as possible. For the remainder
miles from shore.
Thursday afternoon as the strong
winds and seas moderated to some
extent, the vessel was brought back
to her former anchorage.
A good many fathom Of chain as
well as the anchor was lost until such
time as the skipper of the Annie John
son sets to work to recover the valu-
able gear through the efforts of a
diver. According to officers in the
sailing vessel they have a very good
idea as to the location of the anchor
and the chain.
The Annie Johnson arrived at Ma
hukola on Sunday morning. The ves-
sci was obliged to anchor we'll off the
port owing to the rough weather pre-
yailing at that time The worst of the
wind and seas was experienced on
Tuesday evening and Wednesday eve
ming.
The Inter-Island steamers that make
the Hawaii port were obliged to lay
by until calmer seas would permit the
handling Of small boats. |
At the time of departure of the !
steamer Iwalani the Annie johnson !
had returned to the port and taken
her place at the regular mooring !
planted there.
The windjammer has a full cargo !
Of lumber and general for the island
Of Hawaii.
. Why Not "lIilonia," "Johnsonia," or
'nrewenan?
Now that the Matson Navigation
Company has come forward with the !
announcement that the two fine new
liners under construction at Newport
News are. to bear the names of Mat
sonia and Manoa, the suggestion has
just arisen in local shipping that the
final N" in HiIonian be dropped.
The matter of euphonious nomen-
clature for the Matson liners was
taken up at considerable length at
today's session of the ginger ale"
board which daily gathers at the In.
tefSIsland chandlery H.. |
in the interests of harmony, dele
cation Of fastidious old marine she'll
backs offer 'Lurlina, "HYadia,"
"Benningtonia, 'lntrepedia" and the
company might with honor and dis
tinction also select names suggesting |.

sonia" "Drewenia," sfSpenceria,"
"Peteronia," ARMSTRONG and "Youn-
grenia," ad lib. "'
The new names as selected by the
company have the right sort of ring
and thus far no violent protest has ,
been raised against their adoption. i
NGVtutd TO Make Speed !
The Oceanic liner Ventura isNto en-.
gage in several bursts of speed, in I
order to make up the loss of several ]
hours time at Honolulu, occasioneds
by the delay in taking on fifteen hun

The vessel is expected win reach
San Francisco at noon on next Thurs
day with fifty cabin passengers and

hours lost here through the receipt of
freight. ~:

quite a crowd gathered at Oceanic
