The British ship Kinkora left for Port
land in tow of the tug Relief Saturday
morning at 7 o'clock, but was forced to re-
turn owing to the strong northwest wind
ana heavy sea, in which the tug could make
little or no Roadway. For hours the power
1ul steamer did her best, but during that
Time had only reached Point Reyes. A
large quantity of coal had been placed on
board the tug, and she was very deep in the
water and the big seas swept over her from
stem to stern, while the Kinkora often went
BOWS under. Seeing that there was no
prospect OF the weather moderating Cap
tam Haskell decided TO take his tow into
brakes Bay ald remain there until better
weather. but the strong Northwestern raised
such sea that the attempt had to be given
up, and at o'clock YESTERDAY morning the
TWO vessels turned back and headed fol this
city.
The heavy seas that swept over the tug
TOOK quite number of bags of coal off her
ueck, and none of the crew were sorry when
she was once more in San Francisco. The
Relief will take on more coal and as soon as
the weather muderates will make another
attempt to take the ship to sea.
