OCEANIC DEVISES
ASECOND new
SCHEDULE

Another brick was thrown into the
machinery OF the Oceanic lines much
revised schedule yesterday when G.
Brewer & Co., the local agents, an
nounced that they have received a
new schedule which supersedes the
one made public September s. Under
the schedule now announced the
steamers will, after Dec. %, leave here
for San Francisco Tuesday afternoons
at 5 o'clock instead of the present
sailing time OF o'clock Thursdays.
This will enable them to reach San
Francisco Mondays instead of We'd
nesdays.
Regarding the Sierra, new schedule
No. 2 states that she will not start
from San Francisco on her first voy-
age to Australia until December Z,
arriving here December Is. This is
taken by Brewer & Company to
mean that the mail-carrying arrange
ment between here and San Francisco
will not take effect until December,
as it is believed here the subsidy re-
Gently granted the Oceanic by the
postoffice department does not take
effect until then.
Under the terms of the newest sche-
dule, announced today, the Sonoma is
the first steamer to saif from San
Francisco. She will leave there No
vember Is, arriving here November
20.
The Sierra will leave San Francisco
December Z, arriving here December
ID -
The Ventura's sailing date from San
Francisco is December %, and she is
due to reach here January 8.
By the schedule announced Septem-
Der G., the Sierra was to have left San
Francisco on her first voyage On the
Australian run November 7. The
schedule announced today cancels
this and does not let her leave San
Francisco until December 7, one
month later. ..4E -
The present schedule remains in
effect until November, when the new
one supersedes it.
By the newest schedules terms the
first sailing from Honolulu to San
Francisco will be the Sonoma, leaving
here December %. Prior to that
time Oceanic steamers will continue
to leave here for the mainland on the
present schedule.
The new0 schedule announced has
caused considerable speculation
among shipping men here, as it
means the Matson line will thus have
a competitor every three weeks for
San Francisco, with Oceanic boats
sailing Tuesday afternoons, the same
hours chosen by the Matson people
to send it's Tuesday boats out.
Brewer e Company stated yes
terday that they believe Oceanic
headquarters are holding back the
Sierra until the mail subsidy contract
begins and that because of this Oce-
anic steamers will not carry any mail
between here and the coast until the
Sierra starts on the run early in De-
cember. <~ L..
