gers, bringing a good freight cargo
and live stock, and disappointing a
number of people by bringing no mail
or papers. The mail in this instance
was following almost in her wake
| however, for the Nile was close on the
heels of the Lurline, and Purser Meyer
said that they could tell that the
speedy Pacific Mail boat was close
upon them, while they could not see
her, from her wireless messages
There were sixteen cabin passengers
on the Lurline and one lad working
his way. Twenty-eight mules and five
horses were stabbed on the main deck
the mules consigned to local business
houses and the horses bound for Ka.
Fhului. The freight is divided between
this port, the Maui port and Hilo,
1850 tons for Honolulu, 531 tons for
Kahului, and eighty-six tone of per
fshables, taken from the disabled En-
iterprise, for Hilo. After discharging
here the Lurline will set out Thurs
day evening for Maui and Hawaii.
THE relief of the Enterprise was
one of the quickest and most business
like pieces of work | have ever seen
at sea" said PuTser Meyer this morn
ing discussing the Lurline's rescue of
the Enterprise after the latter had
broken a driving shaft. Il picked up
the message at $40 a. M, twenty min
utes later We were on our course in
her direction, the following night at
iseven o'clock we reached her and in
AN hour and seven minutes we had
the line fast and were under way,
bound for San Francisco"
