KIMBERLY AND THE NIPSIC.

says: The navy department will send out in

Saturday for Honolulu a cast-iron screw
weighing over 5000 pounds This is intended
for the Nipsic, now at that port The order
of Admiral Kimberly sending the Nipsic
home in tow of the Alert is looked upon as a
most remarkable one. When he ordered the
ship to Auckland it was against the protest
of Commander Mullan. The ship was with
ont rudder, and jury rudder was rugged

ship got out of the harbor it broke, and it
was only by superhuman efforts that the
Nipsic was prevented from going on the reefs
for second time. Once more she started,

Admiral Kimberly was now at a white
heat and lost no time in stripping Com
mander Muilan of the command of the ship.
He then ordered both ships to San Francisco.
OF course the coal of the Alert soon gave
ont, and the poor old Nipsic had to be left at
flaming island until after the Alert could
60 north and get more coal Over $4,000
has been spent already for coal alone, and
the ship is not half way home.

There will certainly be court of inquiry
