MAN0A HAS STORMY +
TRIP FROM MANILA

After one of the stormiest voyages
in her history the Matson steamer Ma
noa arrived here this morning from
Manila with her fuel supply nearly ex-
hausted. says the San Francisco Bull.
1etin of Nov. 10.
All the way across the sManoa buf.
feted heavy gales. She reached here
four days late and, according to Off
GERS, there was only enough oil re.
naming to keep her running for an
other 81 hours. No damage was done
to the ship or the cargo. ~ ....
The Manoa formerly carried pas.
sengers and freight between here and
Honolulu. This is her first trip to the
Philippine islands. She carried a
cargo of 9700 tons of hemp, sugar, CO
conut oil and cigars. There were no
passengers. The Manoa is command
ed by Capt. Arthur L. Soule, who was
accompanied on the voyage by his
wife. It is presumed that the Manoa
will now be placed again on the Ho-
nolulu run to assist in carrying the
large shipments of sugar and pineap-
pies from the islands. Captain Soule
said there is a great congestion Of
freight of all kinds in Manila waiting
for ships to carry it to this country.
