The bark Ceylon, Calhoun, mas
ter, arrived yesterday aftern BON, 10
days from San Francisco with a
cargo of general merchandise, and
was locked at Brewers wharf.
The wrecKing company from San
Francisco are still busily engaged,
and will be for considerable time
to come, in breaking up the vessels
that were wrecked during the hur-
ricane. The Vandalia and Trenton
were entirely fastened from stem to
stern with copper bolts. Divers are
cutting up the hulls with giant
powder, and a squad of men are
driving the copper bolts out of the
pieces blasted off. The receiving
hulk has now very valuable cargo
of copper, etc., on board, waiting
for shipment to San Francisco
Samoa Times.
The bunkers of the United States
cruiser Columbia, which was
launched a few days ago from
Cramps ship-yard, Philadelphia,
are said to be of greater capacity
than those of any other ship in the
world. They will hold 1000 tons
OF coal, and at q rate of ten knots
an hour the Columbia will be able
to steam "a, 230 knots without re-
coaling.
The American vessel North Amer
lea was wrecked recently by a ty-
phoon in the Xii Channel, China.
The departures during the month

The White Star twin-screw
freighter Naronic has just finished
her maiden voyage to New York
from Liverpool in 8 days 4 hours
and 81 minutes, beating the best
first trip of any cargo steamship in
the world. She and her sister ship,
the Bowie, launched last month,
are the biggest freighters atloat and
will doubtless be the fastest. The
Naronic covered 1908 knots and
averaged IL knots an hour.
The steam propeller Pelotas was
recently lost off Cape Colonia,
Uruguay. All of the passengers
were saved. The captain shot and
killed himself, it being the second
vessel he had lost.
Information was received at the
Merchants Exchange San Fran
cisco, that the ship Annie H. Smith
from New York for Puget Sound
was compelled to put into Stanley,
Falkland Island, for repairs. She
was disabled by reason of her rud-
der-head having been sprung and
several sails being carried away.
The ship San Joaquin, from New
York for San Francisco, was also
forced to put into the same place.
The lost of her maintopgallant masts
is reported. The bark Adolph Obrig
for San Francisco, was as unlucky
as the two vessels already mention
ed. She put into Stanley with her
rudder-head sprung, sails gone and
cargo adrift.
