Has wandered About Seas
The Annie Larsen sailed from San
Francisco on January "a for San Diego.
She arrived at San Diego on February
and sailed on March for Acapulco,
and from Acapulco on April 20 for
ToPolobampo. Presumably she has
been wandering about the sea since.
The Maverick left San Pedro, accord
ing to Camaliche, on April go, while
he in-ie Larsen was lying at Aca-
ptlco. Her commander is given as
Captain Isackson in the latest New
York Maritime Register.
.Tcbsen was the owner of the steamer
Mazdtlan, which was transferred to
the German flag from T the Mexican
when troubles in Mexico became acute.
This steamer left San Francisco for
Guayrhas with q cargo of coal, having
even Ike and sacks of coal on deck.
This was early in 1915. She expert
enced difficulty in clearing, because
her mission was suspected, but event
ually she did get away, and it was es
tablished that she had supplied this
coal to another vessel, which, in turn,
had given IL to German Ships. Thus
the Mazatlan evaded the laws. She
sailed from San Francisco on another
mysterious mission later. On this
voyage, secret service agents were on
the ship and they obtained photo
graphs Of certain interesting occuren- .
ees. 1t was supposed at the time she
was engaged in some fllibustering
work for one of the Mexican factions.
Jebsen Mysterious Operator
These things are of interest only
because of Jebsen's connection with
the Maverick, as showing the range
Of his activities. It will be observed
that he was connected with both Ger

way and another, so that his dealin 5

current on the waterfront yesterday
that Jebsen had control Of the Nav
erick, although the local rumor is that
he owned her, having bought her from
the Standard Oil Company through a
third party last fall. This report was
abroad here before the above Asso-

FIRST Authentic Information
Camaliche's story, as given in The
Advertiser Of June %. WAS the first
authentic explanation Of the Maver-
lex printed in Honolulu. Wild though
it seemed at the time. it has been
borne out admirably. Camaliche made
no attempt to reconcile the many
things he did not understand, and no
attempt was made by The Advertiser
to reconcile them. The facts as given
by Camaliche and only those facts
were printed. Now authoritative adj
vices from Hoaqdim reconcile the points
that were hard to understand, save
only the FIVE "Hindus" aboard the
ship.
There are, of course, the big Jest
problems of all awaiting solution; For
whom were the arms and for what
purpose has the Maverick sailed for
