New Oil Steamship Nevadan Arrives in Port
After Successful Maiden Trip From
San Francisco.
The new' American-Hawaiian steam-
ship Nevadan, Captain Weedon, arriv
ed in Honolulu at noon yesterday after
accomplishing a rather novel feat in
over-sea voyaging. She was construct
ed to use coal in firing her boilers but
on her arrival in San Francisco aftei
htr maiden run from New York she
was fitted with oil burners and now
consumes the product which is calcu
lated to revolutionize several things in
the way of ocean freight and passen
ger traffic.
The Nevadan brought three days'
later mail from San Francisco.
When the vessel was fitted with oil
burners- in San Francisco and he
tanks' filled with 4400 barrels of cil
everyone expected that she would lake
a trial spin about the bay "to see how
it worked." But no such - thing was
done. When the vessel was ready to
put to sea a week ago Saturday she
just backed away from the wharf and
steamed straight out . of the Golden

Gate for Honolulu. Many people were
on the wharf to see the oil steamer de
part and there were many misgivings
as to the luck the vessel would have
on the trip. People were heard to say:
"She'll be back in a couple of days."
"They don't know what they're up
against," and "If she has the luck to
be picked up by a coal-burning steam
er we may see her again." But despite
alt these apprehensive remarks the
vessel arrived here safely on scheduled
time.
When asked what kind of a trip he
had, Captain Weedon said: ' Well, you
notice how clean all our decks, deck
houses, winches, and everything else
are. This oil is a great success. There's
no dirt from the funnel and our -work
is easier. We have six less men in our
stokehole now that the oil burners are
in. We could have traveled much fast
er by burning more oil, but it was not
necessary. During the first part of our
trip we burned a little more oil than
.was expected, as we were not familiar
with its use, but since then we have
actually used less than we were sched
uled to. We have some 4400 barrels on
board sufficient for twenty-two days'
steaming." Everyone on the steamer
was . unanimous in praising oil as a
fuel for getting steam up at sea.
While in San Francisco there va?
much comment in shipping circles over
the work of the Nevadan in getting her
fuel aboard for the vovaec to Honolulu
ana return. On her way from New
York to San Francisco the Nevadan
was a coal burner and at Coroncl she
coaled for the completion "of her voy
age to 'Frisco. It took two whole days
to fill her bunkers there, yet at the
Golden Gate it required only Ave hours
to transfer the 4400 barrels of oil into
her tanks, and this work involved no
soiling of decks or very hard work by
her crew. Forty-three hours were thus
saved in the time of taking oil fuel
aboard as compared with the time re
quired to coal for a voyage of a cor
responding length. This is an import
ant item-to a steamship company.
The Nevadan was launched about six
months ago. She- is of 2950 tons net
register and can carry about 650 ton
of sugar. She is 360 feet long, has a
46 foot beam, and ' is thirty-four feet
eight inches deep.
Constructed solely with a view of
meeting the requirements of the trade
between Honolulu and San Francisco
the Nevadan is one of the finest
freighters running to these islands. Be
sides the large amount of general car
go she is expected to carry each trip
from the Coast for Honolulu the ves
sel expects to carry a great deal of
perishable goods as she has a first
class cold storage plant. '
On her maiden trip to Honolulu the
vessel has about 3000 tons of general
cargo, including fruit, vegetables and
meat in her cold storage. Owing to
the fact tha.t the Alameda's cold stor
age broke down in San Francisco and
that she was unable to carry her usual
supply of iced delicacies for the Ho
nolulu market this cargo of cold stor
age stuffs on the Nevadan is particu
larly welcome at this time.
The Nevadan carries all told a crew
of about forty. Her officers are: Cap
tain Weedon; chief officer, J. P. Pe
tersen: second officer, J. S. Tollett;
third officer. George It. Lauriat; purser,
W. Tt. Wright: chief engineer. John
Mitchell, and first assistant engineer,
Thomas Selfridge.
On Thursday night the Nevadan will
sail to Kahului. where she will ' dis
charge general cargo and take in sug
ar. The vessel sails from Honolulu for
San Francisco direct on August 9, and
her r.oxt sailings from San Francisco
to this port will be on August 28 and
October 0, while the new steamer e-
braskan. a sister steamship to the Xe-
aaan. win leave San Francisco on
October 30 on her maiden voyage to
this port. The Nebraskan and Neva
dan will thus keep up a regular service
for Honolulu, leaving the Coast every
twenty-one days for this port.
the vessel is docked at the Railroad
wharf, where there have been a strins:
of sightseers to look her over since ar
rival.

Drink
When two old sea dogs get together
there's bound to be. something doing.
Captain Borreson of the Norwegian
bark Aeolus has been a skipper for
twenty-eight years and during that
time has been to almost every hole and
corner of the earth, while Captain Mol-
lesfead of the American schooner Jane
L. Stanford has visited nearly every
part of the globe. Therefore when this
pair foregathered in , the cabin of the
Aeolus for afternoon tea on Saturday
' there was a good bit of yarning done.
Captain Borreson first initiated his
' friend into a novel style of drink. He
' offered to bring along what is termed
"the doctor" among Norwegian men
of the sea. This "was made in the fol
lowing manner. The steward brought
: two cups of hot coffee. A liberal sup
' ply of sugar was put in each cup and
j then a nobbier of French cognac was
. poured into each. This "Norwegian
J cocktail" is probably the nicest little
' drink that a worthy skipper could
(drink, and Captain Mollestead said so.
I Each man had only one drink, but this
is a particularly wet drink.
The skipper of the Jane L. Stanford
told a fish story or rather ,a story
! about fish. He was at Santiago de
! Cuba in 1874 and in a little bay there
j saw a queer method of fishing. Two
j niggers would get in a. large boat out
i in the bay and by thumping on the bot
i torn of the boat with their feet induce
j all manner of fish to come around and
i hear the music. As the "music" got
i faster the fish tried a substitute for
j dancing by lumping right over the boat
' and. as they jumped over were knocked
, into the bottom of the boat by the ne
groes. In this way, they secured a boat
load.
"You may not believe it, captain,"
said Skipper Mollestead, "but it's as
true as a Dutch Bible."
Captain Borreson rolled back his big
blue eyes and tugged away at his trou
ser braces. In a moment he had got
j his bark into the wind and he told of
I some exciting adventures in a Haytian
i port. It was in 1872 and the negroes
j on Hayti seemed to be a rather fanatic
lot. The captain took a cargo out t
the West Indies, discharging it at a
small port on Hayti. Just as he had
finished discharging his stevedores re
fused to work any longer as the fete
days were approaching and during
these times the niggers did no work,
but spent their time drinking rum and
indulging in religious rites. The cap
tain knew nothing of these religious
practices and commenced taking in bal-
I last, using his own crew for the work
in nana. 1 ney naa not oeen wonung
long when the niggers appeared with
a dummy rag man which they called
JudaSTThey were all drunk and de
clared that they would put an end to
"Judas" because he had offended the
Lord at least the "scripters sed so."
They put the dummy up on the dock
and commenced shooting at it. Bullets
of alf sizes swept over Captain Bor
resen's ship and he and the crew took
lo the hold for safety. The natives kept
up the shooting all day long. and the
ship's crew had to remain below. When
night came over the scene the captain
returned to the deck of his vessel and
found all quiet. But his ship had been
riddled with bullets. A short time later
the natives returned and said it didn't
do "ni good to shoot" as they couldn't
destroy a rag man "Judas" that way.
So they set fire to the rags and re
mained dancing and singing hymns
about this fire all night. "We got
away the next day," said the skipper,
and I have never had any desire to re
turn there."
Both skippers went out. clambered
over the side of the Aeolus and went up
town for a walk.
The Pacific Hail Company.
XKW YORK, July 18. The annual
report of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company is disappointing. An unfav
orable report has been anticipated, but
it had hardly been expected that the
total income would show a falling- off of
$1,041,000, or about L0 per cent. This de
iTCHSf wis largely the result of the ter
mination of the company's contract
with the Panama Ilailroad Company,
which has recently been renewed. Then)
was a decrease- in the operating ex
penses of about $36'J,0O0, which brought
the excess expenditures over receipts
down to $308,000, which, however, com
pares with a surplus for the previous
year of $155,820. It is understood that
Mr. Tweed asked to be relieved of the
duties of the presidency, because of his
numerous other interests. That was
why E. H. Harriman, of the Southern
Pacific Railway, was named as his successor.
