HAWAHISLANn
HILO, Oct.,26. ArrlviiiK on a verv
different mission to what she was in-
$ tended for when she first struck Ha-
wailan waters, the formers Cerman
gunboat Geier, now the United States
gunboat Schurs, steamed into liilo
harbor yesterday morning. The ar
rival of the war Teasel was not ex
pected and. of course, no word had
been sent out from Honolulu reeardin?
ner departure from f: that porL. Tha
Schurz is on a trial trip to see how
she behaves after, the extensive re
pairs that have been made to her hull
and machinery at the Pearl Harbor
naval station.. v ; ;
It will be remembered that m Jan
uary last the Geler. which was at that
time interned in Honolulu, was set on
lire by her crew at the command of
their captain when it seemed certain
that war was - about to be declared
against Germany. At the same time
several German - merchantmen were
badly damaged by their crews in order
to disable them. ; .
The Geier was towed to Pearl Har.
bor and ever since has been undergo
ing extensive renairs. She is now un
der her new name in splendid shape
and is In the service of Uncle Sam..
When the Schurs steamed into the
bay yesterday morning there were
many surmises as to what vessel she
was. The usual talk about " a raider
was heard until the Stars and Strina
were seen flying at the masthead.
On the way to Hilo from Pearl Har.
bor the runs of the Schurz were tried
out with two shots and were found to
be in good condition. The engines
worked well and are getting better, at
every revolution. . , .
Captain Henshaw is In command of
the Schurz and he stated yesterday
that the run to Hilo was made in good
time. He and some of - his officers
went to the Volcano yesterday for a
trip and some of the men got shore
leave. -- -
X. The Schurz win sail for some uij
know destination today sometime and
w.IH give her engines a further test.

Contrary to expectations ansOcean
Ic liner is in port today without bear
ing any of the survivors of the Ger
man raider's operations in the Pa
cific. The marooned men were ex
pected to return to San Francisco by
tray of this port. The explanation is
given by the ship's officers that when
the sailors and officers of the de
stroyed schooners Manila, R. C. Slade
and A. 13. Johnson were taken oti
Mcpeua Island they were landed at
Papeete, Tahiti.
From there it is assumed they
were taken to San Francisco by a
Union liner, although this Is not defi
nitely known by the officers raboard
the Oceanic steamer. They, are also
uninformed as to whether the ma
rooned sailors were rescued by a Jap
anese, French or American cruiser.
Even Captain de ,1a Fleche, a
French naval officer who has been in
command of a French navy vessel in
the South Pacific professes to be un
informed. "I know nothing only that 1
am on my way back to France. 1
have-not been on duty for two
months," he says.
Accompanying the French naval of
ficer are liis wife and a number of
French sailors. One of the sailors is
a New Caledonian, who shows almost
as much interest in getting to Franc
as do the natives of that country.
Another detachment of sailors
aboard the Oceanic liner are Amert
cans who have been on duty in Sa?
moa. some of them for almost the
entire period of their four year en
listment. One of them remarked this
morning. "We have been saying
never again in Samoa, but 1 guess
most of us will reenlist when we get
near enough to the Atlantic so as to
be fairly, certain of not being sent
back to the Pacific until the war is
over. : i'.-.
These Americaa. sailors from, Pago
Pago had as Jlttle-knowledge of the
operations o the German raider in
the South Pacific as did others on the
liner. They declared.that.no one in
Pago-Pago bad heard any more about
the Lutece and the 63 Germans
aboard her since Captain Haldor
Smith of the R. C. Slade left there
early this month. ,
vldke the others' aboard the ship,
they sald'the little boat in which Cap
tain Smith and three sailors made
the 1000 mile voyage from Mopeba
was still to be seen there. None of
these American sailors had heard of
any Japanese cruisers being In the
South Seas in search of the German
raider. Neither; 4Id they credit the
Honolulu street report that a part of
the American Asiatic fleet was in
those waters.
Captain J, H. Dawson, master of
the ship, said he had. heard in Sydney
that his vessel like others of Ameri
can register .was to te commandeer
ed by the government on October 15,
but that he had not been officially
notified that this had been done. He
was Just, a bit skeptical when told
this was true.
Robert S. Acheson, purser of the
vessel, says that the Australian gov
ernment has won out in the 6trik4
and that conditions are almost back
to normal, so far as labor conditions
are concerned in this country. An
other, a union labor sympathizer, ex
pressed the opinion that the strikers
had been defeated as they deserved
for walking out without Just cause
"Now they are puttinjj anyone to
wdrk, whether they : have a card or
not," he declared.
The Oceanic, liner had three pas
sengers ior iionoiuiu. i ney were j.
Tysk, S. KJar and J. Franch, There
were only 6 through passengers in
all .classes. Her. cargo consisted of
5500 tons, much of which Is skins.

ANOTHER UNION
STEAMER MISSING
Still another Union freighter besides
the Walruna is .reported missing : hy
the officers of an Oceanic steamer In
nort today. The Wairuna is the
freighter- of which no trace has been
found since she sailed from Sydney
for Sah Francisco last J tfne.
The second missing freighter Is the
Matunga, a steamer of about the same
capacity as the "Walruna. She left
Sydney six or seven weeks after the
departure ofthe JWairuna and has not
since been reported.
Like in the case of the Wairuna it
is undecided whether to ascribe her
BUDtosed loss to the Germans, through
the use of time bombs, operations of
still unreported German raider In
the Southern Pacific or to the acts of
unloyal Australian laborites.
Since last Christmas the Union
Steamship Co. has lost four or five
vessels. The, cause of the destruction
of only one of -them-has been thor
oughly establshed. This was a
freighter which had to be abandoned
off the Samoan coast after a time
bomb exploded and ignited her coal
ueL All the crew of this vessel was
rescued.

.-, An interesting description of the
German raider Seeadler, which went
on the rocks at Mopeha island in the
South Seas, is contained in an issue
of ' the Army and Navy Journal some
months back,Uhe description dealing
with the raider as she was known in
the Atlantic. It says:
"Information brought by the French
sailing vessel Cambronne, arriving at
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, on March SO, 1917,
shows, beyond a doubt, that a German
commerce destroyer in addition to the
Moewe had managed to gain the high
seas, escaping from Germany via the
Arctic ocean route. The Cambronne
landed at Rio Janeiro 2S3 men and two
women prisoners taken by the com
merce destroyer, in question, the See
adler (Sea Eagle) from allied vessels
captured and destroyed by her in the
South Atlantic. The women were the
wives of captains of vessels destroyed.
"The Seeadler is described as an in
nocent looking three masted square
rigged sailing ship of about 3,000 tpns
equipped in addition to hU sail with
oil or gas engines, capable of driving
her at 12 knots. Her appearance dis
armed all suspicion and at least eleven
allied merchant ships were destroyed
by the disguised German raider. The
men of the destroyed ships were taken
aboard the Seeadler, which also took
such part of the cargo as was desired.
The prisoners report that they were
not unkindly treated. ;
"After the Seeadler became too
crowded with prisoners they were put
aboard the captured French . sailing
ship Cambronne, whose top masts j
were cut down and some of her sails
taken away in order, that she might
not reach port too quickly to give
news about the seeadler. The ves
sels captured were destroyed by
bombs or gunfire,
This story checks up in detail with
that of Captain Halbor Smith told here
on his arrival from Samoa after ef
fecting his escape from Mopeha is
land. He had gleaned it from the
captain of the Seeadler during the
long weeks after his vesEel, the R. C.
Slade, was captured and until the
raider -was blown ashore at Mopeha.
KNITTED GARMENTS GIVEN
