The United States steamer. Albatross. !
Ltentenant-COmmander Il. l.. Tanner com.
manding, arrived at the yard Saturday
morning and made fast to,the wharf near
the cruiser Baltimore. The difference In
appearance. and size OF the two ships is
marked Some time ago the Albatross was
transferred temporarily by the United
States Commissioner OF Fish and Fisheries
to the Navy DeFal tment for the purpose Of
making .an ocean survey for telegraphIc
cable between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Upon completion of this duty the. vessel
was sent up north to Bering Sea, from
which point she has just returned and will
require extensive repairs to her boilers and
engines.
The Yorktown and MohIcan will be the
next vessels to leave the north aud come
directly 10 the island. Tie Adams will
remain there for some months longer.
What her fnal destination is TO be has not
been announced.
The San Francisco will probably arrive
at the yard the middle Of next week. She
will, It Is likely, join thu Baltimore and
Charleston in the San Diego demonstra-
1tion.
A visit to the Albatross will prove Of in.
terest, as many rare specimens of the finny
tribe are there to be seen. Captain Tanner
Is greatly interested in the particular duty
of securing specimens of fish, upon which
he has for the past twelve years been en-
gagged,
Medical Inspector Woods, u. S. n, has
been away for few days recreation.
Extra precautions are being taken so far
as the sewerage system is concerned so
that there may be no danger should the
cholera sueceedin reaching the coast, which
tits ferventfy hoped it will not.
