gale was blowing outside and nasty sea
was on. The bark w. b. Godfrey, from
Honolulu, was off the harbor on Saturday

southwark To his surprise the wind hauled
to the northward, accompanied by a heavy
northwest swell.
The wind was light and a current ran to
the southwark at the rate of ten miles day
and he could not beat back. He made
slant yesterday. however. and came in fly
ing until he passed Mile Rock, when it fell
calm. He sighted the German bark Schiller,
standing cut with all sail set, but before

be repaired. A telegram, however, has

ing for this port in tow of the steamer Noyo.

BAR-BoUND AT GRAYs HARBoR.
Word was received yesterday that the
Gray's HarbOr Commercial Company's
steamer Point Iona is bar-bound at Grays
Harbor. According to schedule she sails
from here on one Saturday aud from Grays
Harbor on the next. The COMPANY, owing
to the small list of freight now offering, does
not feel justified in chartering another
steamer 10 take her place on Saturday, SO it
is probematical when shippers will next
have chance to send freight up there by
steamer.
Freight is said to be very slow now from
here to almost all coast ports. The Queen
only took up about $50 tons to Puget Sound,
when she could carry 5000. The steamer
Signal, which was loading for Puget Sound
ports, had only fOrty-fiye tons Of freight
offered and this sue turned over to the
steamer st. Paul, which Will sail on Tues
day next. The latter steamer is not receiv-
ing any very large offerings either.
