RrpoRr OF SHIP FRANK n. THAYER.-fhe snip
Frank n: Thoyer. Capt. Towne, OF Boston, Mass
l 80 tons register, left San Francisco August IIu''
with 1.6sO tons of wheat, for Liverpool. Nothing
unusual occurred until September 4th, In Longitude
I24o west, lat, 23e "a north, when she expert
enced fresh gales from the north. The wind increaseo
in strength until the next day, coming, during the
"a hours, from all points of the compass. A neaVy
cross sea was raised, the ship, laboring heavy anu 'aA
ing on board large quantities of water. The cargo
shifted somewhat and the grain worked down. oh
the 9th the pumps were throwing out large quaint
ties and finally became choked. Got them clear ana
proceeded on the voyage until Sept 2lst' when In
long, 1850 west, lat, re % north, the pumps
again becoming choked, it being impossible to clear
them, and the cargo already steaming, bore up 1r
the Hawaiian Islands. A visit to the ship shows how
far the cargo has been affected, every part of the
| ships inside patchwork bearing the stain caused by
bilge water. The plated work IN the caDin is as
black as ink. while the patchwork looks though II
had been black-leaded. The stencil has been so IN
tolerable as to make some of the crew sick, and sleep
ing in the cabin or forecastle almost impossible Two
of the crew who were sent into the pump-weil for the
purpose of clearing them ofthe wheat, were withdrawn
insensible, the foul air also extinguishing a light.
NAVAL report is current that Admiral Turner'
commanding the American North Pacific Squadron,
may be expected here in the U. S. steamer -Ho6ieon-
which was to leave San Francisco a few days after
the departure of the Idaho. Our advices are that
some American war vessel will visit this port, but
perhaps not till near the close Of the year.
We notice that the sloop Of war Jdmestoscn,
which left Panama under orders to visit the FIJI
Group, has been ordered to extend her cruise to the
Kingsmil and Gilbert Island Groups, and probably
the guano islands, localities where war vessels very
seldom 60. -
~ There was a large meeting held last evening
by the natives at Kaumakapili Church, to discuss
the resolutions passed at the Planters Meeting on
Monday. About twelve speakers, chiefly natives,
made addresses, most of them opposed to importa-
ton of Chinese. Three speakers stood up for Chinese,
but were treated very roughly by the audience.
Resolutions were passed condemning the further i'm
~portation of Chinese.
60 The ship King Phiiip is to be repaired sufi-
GENTLY to insure her safe passage to Puget Sound.
We understand that she has been purchased by
Messrs. Pope & Talbot aud will be thoroughly re-
paired at their establishment on the Sound.
