With the | aid of W. B. Swears, shipping master for the Pacific Mail Company, he se- cured crews for several Wessels and knocked the ring’s scale all out of tune. The ring went out of business and blood money became uncollectable. Hawkins, Herman, Savory and the Canes wanted back their $50. It was in the bank, and the bank book, they claim, was in Ferem's possession. When they filed the suit, they say, the money w drawn from the bank and divided, all the members of the ring but the complaining quintet getting a share. It is for their share they are suing. AGREEMENT IS DEPOSITED. The articles of agreement under which the sailor trust was formed are said to be in the possession of Charles MecCarthy, who was appointed business manager at a salary of $75 a month, The agreement is aid to be signed by the following: John Ferem, Thomas Murray & Son, Thomas Chandler, Fred Hunt, Charles McCarthy, Jack O’Brien, John Savery, Harry Hansen, George Webb, Henry Lewis, Cane Bros., John Cane, Henry Brown, Richard Graham, Peter Holberg, John Curtin, Willlam Lane, Thomas Newman, Timothy Haw- | kins and W. P. Herman. The Sailors’ Home, of which Ferem is superintendent at a salary of nothing a year and which he uses as a sailor boarding-house on strictly sailor boarding-house lines, is a property worth about $400,000. It was leased by the Government to the city at a rental of §1 a year, to be used as a home for sick and destitute seamen. The Ladies’ Beaman’s Friend Soclety took charge of the home and put Ferem in as su- The Oceanic Steamship Company’s liner Sonoma sailed yesterday after- noon promptly at 2 o'clock for Hono- lulu and the Antipodes. Shé carried many passengers and.her cargo in- cluded a large shipment of oranges, the first of the new crop to be sent to Oceanic Steamship Company’s Liner Sails With Many Notable Passengers for Honolyiu and Colonial Ports-—Is Nearly Run Into by a River Steamer. as She Backs Into the Strea m L o the Antipodes. As the Sonoma backed into the stream she narrowly escaped ramming her stern through the river steamer T. C. Walker and that a miss was scored was more a matter of good luck than careful navigation on the part of | the pilot of the Stockton boat. A strong ebb tide was flowing and half a gale of wind was piping from the south- east. Once started, the Sonoma had to keep going. Stopping or even slowing down would have resulted in the wind and tide carrying the heavily freighted liner against Broadway wharf and completely wrecking that structure. The Walker was a wharf's length to the southward when the Sonoma, with her whistle blowing, started to back into the stream. The Walker wus skirting the wharves considerably clos- er than the law allows. Instead cf slowing down or turning out the river steamer held on her course and when her stern-wheel cleared the Sonoma’s after end there was barely a foot's length between the vessels. A number of well known Honolulu people sailed on the liner and among the through passengers were many eminent colonials, The passengers included the follow- ing named For Honolulu Clark. Aug.
