A Sail on the Robert w. Logan.

Through the kindness of Mr.. W.
W. Hall, very enjoyable outing
was given company of gentlemen on
the schooner Robert w. Logan yes
terday. Those who went out were
Rev. 0. P. Emerson, Messrs. W. o.
Atwater, Capt. Bates, Capt. Staples,
w. w. Hall, Rev. MIR. Pires, and
Capt. Worth. The schooner went
out beyond Diamond Head. The
breeze was but a moderate test of
the boats sailing powers. Evidently
she can stand up well under heavy
pressure of wind and show clean
pair of heels-just the boat for the
work required. A nice lunch was
partaken of by those on board, who
thoroughly enjoyed the outing. The
vessel is to be in charge of Captain
III. f. Worth, who brought her down
from the Coast. She is destined for
Ruk and Mortlock mission work
1t is expected that she will sail for
the west next Wednesday, the 18th
instant, when she will take the mail
of the Micronesian mission. She
will go to Ruk by way of Jaluit, Ku
safe and Ponape.
