The shortes- passage to Honolulu was that Of
the Yankee, in IL days. The same vessel made
the shortest passage to San Francisco, of ii days
The passages both to and from that port have
been longer than in former years, as the trade
winds have been less steady, and the south winds
in the winter months not so strong, but more
squallv and irregular.
