The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-13
Where is the Thetis7

| WNGIG 10 LUe l0GtlSt
1t was thought several days ago that
the revenue cruiser Thetis was on her
way back to Hawaii to take up her
station here for the winter months.
So far however, there has been no Of
fetal intimation that she is coming
back. Collector Stackable has not
been apprised that she is, and he is
the most likely one to know whether
she is en- route here.
Had she started at the time an
nounced, she would have been here
by this, for even the Thetis would not
take weeks to complete the trip from
Alaska to Honolulu, unless she had
broken down. She is equipped with
wireless, so that her approach to these
shores would have been heralded by
that medium The Thetis was never
renowned for her speed, but in view
of the lack of official advices, it must
be assumed that she is not coming
yet.
DR.. Ramus of the federal quarantine
service would in all probability have
/ been advised that she was coming
here, for DR.. Gillespie is in the Thetis,
and he would have announced his re.
turn to the staff of the marine hos
pital.
Hongkong Maru Out This Morning.
The Hongkong Maru was not able
to leave Honolulu until shortly after
o'clock this morning This boat got IN
here a couple of days ago from Yoke
hama en- route to South American
ports. She brought sixteen bags OF
mail, but no passengers or cargo. Her
chief object in calling here was to
load 100 tons of bunker coal. This
was put on as speedily as possible
and although she expected to get away
yesterday afternoon or last night, il
was not until this morning that she
was able to clear
Vessels in Wireless Touch.
The Inter-Island wireless official
state that tn. following vessels are in
wireless touch: Hilonian, due here
from the Sound on Tuesday next; the
U. S. S. New Orleans, coming here foi
coal on her way to San Francisco from
the Orient station; the Chiyo Maru, Ell
route to the Orient from San Fran
cisco, and due next Tuesday morning
the Honolulan, on her way from Homo
lulu since last Wednesday evening, e
San Francisco; the Manchuria, which
left here last Tuesday for the Orient;
the transport Sheridan, which is due
tomorrow morning from San Francisco
on her way to Manila, and the Lurline
which, is coming here from San Fran
cisco, due next Wednesday morning.
Kahuku station was in touch with
these boats, but, of course, it is prob.
able that communication can be made
with others, such, for instance, as the
Santa Maria, which left for Hilo a cou'
pie of days ago; the Nippon Maru
which left yesterday morning, and me
HOngkong Maru, which got out this
morning for South America.
Next Mail to Australia.
There seems to be an idea an-oHe
some local Australians that the postal
officials will entrust the Herzogin Ce
cile, the German training ship, with
the mail for Australia instead of wait
| ing for the Zealandia, which leaves
! here on January 81 The postal of
fcials have no idea of doing this. The
Herzogin Cecile is a speedy boat, and
might get down there in steamer time
and she might not The Zealandia is
pretty well certain to get there In her
schedule date The postal officials will
take no risks they will save the bags
for the Zealandia. The training shiI
leaves tomorrow for Sydney, n S. w
The officers will entertain their friends
this afternoon
Sheridan Daylight Tomorrow.
The Quartermaster's Department re
ceived a wireless message from the
transport Sheridan this morning, no
itifying that she will arrive here a
daylight tomorrow from San Fran
cisco, and will sail again at noon OF
Monday for Manila, via Guam.
