LOST
BY SIERRA ON
LAST TRIP

| No time has been lost in making
repairs to the Oceanic liner Sierra a
San Francisco, following the arriva

lay Of several hours in steaming from
Honolulu TO the coast on the last voy
age.
With nearly a half OF the vessels
power out OF commission. the Sierra
completed the passage to San Fran
| cisco in. six days and two hours. The
damage is said to have occurred on
the morning of December 90 after the
vessel had battled for days in a storm
from the northwest.
The ship was compelled to plough
through tremendous seas, causing the
machinery to race" With port pro-
peller intact, Captain II. G. Houdlette
ordered the best possible speed for the
rest of the voyage.
The Sierra was Immediately placed
in drydock. Repairs ordered by wire

its berth where big cargo for the
islands was placed on board. 1t is re-
ported to have steamed for Honolulu
on time and is due to- arrive at quar-.
antine early Monday morning. berth
having been assigned it at Pier 10.
An increasing demand for fuel oil
in the islands has warranted the con-
struction of steam tankers capable of
transporting larger quantities of the
product from the California coast to
Honolulu and ports where branches of
the Union Oil Company are now main
tanned.
The new steamer Lyman Steward,
recently launched at San Francisco
and completing its trial runs. is ex-
pected to be pressed into service in
carrying oil to ports heretofore served
by the steamers Santa Maria and the
Santa Rita. The new vessel is to be
commanded by Captain A. Alberts,
we'll known to local shipping men.
Thomas Lapham, also a popular Off.
cial in Honolulu, has been placed in
charge of the mechanical department.
The Steward is 1854 feet long SIS
feet in beam and draws 81 feet of
water. The vessel contains sixteen
cargo tanks with a capacity of g.
600 barrels, The horsepower is 5000
indicated and the speed is eleven
knots. :, ~
The Steward is a sister ship to the
Associated oil tanker Frank H. Buck,
the first of a trio built by the Union
Iron Works, and the j. E. Moffett, the
last of the three launched recently.
