Newark should leave her landing at the foot of Market street at 9 oclock in the morning touching at the Oakland mole to tike aboard any of the desirable God Tearing people residing on that side of the water ariiafteraxruise around in the southern section of the bay should return at 1230 it to the Tity to permit ofa further embarkation of Christians and then sail north to Tiburon etc returning and landing her passengers at Oakland at 5 oclock in the evening The programme was thus happily planned but alas 1 its execution was not to be permitted When the steamer was chartered 110 cash was paid on account with the promise to pay the remaining 1310 upon tier arrival at Oakland Passenger Agent Fitzgerald was1 not exaetjy pleased at this method of doingbusiness and taking Captain Brady aside gave him some private instructions Leavingat the appointed hour the Newark arrived at Oakland umerpns passengers embarked but despite it endeavors the Christian Endeavor Society could collect only 50 of

power in the premises and since the money is not nowavailable 1 mustre turh you to San Francisco The Newark accordingly landed her passengers at 1130 a i As they went home with their1 well filled
