About the middle of the afternoon
the bark Edward May, Captain Han
sen, arrived from San Francisco, oc
cupying fourteen days on the trip down.
She brings a cargo of general mer
chandise and now lies at Brewer's
wharf. The tug Fearless towed her in
and. when she had brought her as far
as the lighthouse, startled the harbor
with a rapid succession of toots. The
Fearless was whistling for the doctor,
the quarantine officer, and kept up her
impatient calling, off and on, for a half
hour or more. The doctor arrived at
last, boarded the Edward May, found
all well and then the bark proceeded to
her wharf.
Island steamers Maui, W. G. Hall,
Mikahala. James Makee and Niihau
arrived when the day was young. Hon.

portance occurred on the voyage
around the Horn. The ship lay becalm
ed for five days off the Horn. On Sep

bound for San Francisco from Newcas
tle, England, was sighted. She was 76
days out. The Brewer has a large gen
eral cargo for C. Brewer & Company.

voyage from the Orient. There was
only one passenger for Honolulu.
Freight for this port amounted to 640
tons.
The China was caught in a tidal
wave and typhoon while on the way
fmm Yokohama to Kobe. For awhile
the steamer was in great peril. Some
of her boats were smashed, the deck
was sprung and there was other dam
age, but the staunch steamer weather
ed the storm and came through safely.
This was the Gaelic's news.
PAPEETE THE BEAUTIFUL.
Those who are fond of traveling will
hail with delight the news of a direct
steamship route from the Coast to Ta
hiti. This charming land has until now
b-en accessible only by slow sailing
vessels, but on November 1st the popu
lar steamship Australia will sail direct,
makiiiK the trip in ten and one-half
days. A reduced round-trip rate has
been made for the first trip.

; anie Company's fine new vessels to be
i launched at Cramp's shipyard for the
San Francisco-Sydney route, sailed

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. nr. J. W.
Kiny..un. Federal Quarantine Officer,
complained to the District Attorney
y.-st.-rjay that the gasoline launch.
William W.. recently removed fifty-five
I assengers from the steamer Eclipse
before the vessel had been examined
and granted pratique. This action was
haracterized as a violation of the
iiiarantine laws and the District At
torney was requested to institute pro
i dings for the punishment of John
Hodge, pilot and engineer of the offend
ing launch. Dr. Kinyoun was notified
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. There
promises to be lively competition for
building the new bat leships anci cruis
ers. Several of the shipbuilding indus
tries already have their representatives
here securing the specifications for the
ships preparatory to submitting bids.
These include some yards which thus
far have not done any Government
work.
The present low price of steel is ex
pected by naval officials to result in
giving the Government the advantage
of low bids. The builders state that
steel shapes and frames can be bought
for 1 7-10 cents per pound, as against
IVz cents a short tlixs ago.
NEW STEAMER LINE.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. Off Dela
ware Capes there is steaming today a
ship that is to be the first to open a
regular steamship service between the
East, the Pacific Coast and Hawaii.
The vessel is the American, built at
Roach's shipyard at Chester, Pa., and
she is making her official trial trip.
When it is completed she will come to
Philadelphia, where a cargo is awaiting
her. The American is the pioneer ship
of the American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company, which will establish a regu
lar line of steamers between this port,
Pacific Coast ports and the Hawaiian
Islands. She is to be followed by other
new ships, named the Hawaiian, Ore
gonian, Californian, Alaskan and Ari
zonan. The last two vessels will be of
12.000 tons capacity. The vessels will
also have accommodations for a num
ber of saloon passengers. The Ameri
can is 8,500 tons register. She is ex
pected to arrive here next Monday and
3,000 tons of cargo are now- on the
wharves waiting to be put in her hold.
LASHED TO THE MAST.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. Michael
Brown, a seaman on the whaling bark
Balaena, which recently returned from
the Arctic, has had a warrant issued in
the United States District Court for
the arrest of his captain, Bert Wil
liams, whom he accuses of extreme
cruelty.
Brown states that on June 12th while
the Balaena was anchored in Langdons
Bay, he took his rifle and went on a
short hunting trip. Upon his return
he was accosted by Mate Porter and
told that he would not be permitted to
take his rifle into the forecastle. He
says it was his custom to keep firearms
in the quarters, and protested against
the mate's ore'er. He and the mate had
an altercation, which was reported to
the captain, who ordered him in irons,
and, after chastising him, lashed him
to the mizzen mast, where he remained
from 9 o'clock in the evening until 2
o'clock the next morning. The ther
mometer was below zero, and when
carried to the deck he was numb with
cold and unable to move. Not satisfied
with that punishment. Brown states
that in his helpless condition he was
kicked and abused by the mate and
captain.
Brown's statements are corroborated
by several other members of the crew.
