WHARF AND WAVE.
The Bark Albert Makes a Ouick
Passage.

j. c. NJ. Winding, arrived from San
Francisco on Saturday Afternoon,
exactly ten days from that port.
The Planter arrived on Thursday,
ten days from San Francisco. 1t
was thought at the time that the
same record would not be equalled
for many years to come. The re-
markable passage of the Albert has
disproved that assertion, but now
it is safe perhaps once more to
state that the records of the Plan
ter and Albert will not be equalled
or surpassed for many years to
come. Messrs. Hackfeld & Co. are
the agents of both these crack yes
sells. These two are, however, not
the only fast sailors in the Hawai-
ian trade. With the exception of
two or three, they can all make the
passage in ten days under similar
circumstances. Give them the
breeze and they can do it. The
daily run of the Albert is as fol-
lows: March % and "a, $50 miles !;
March %, 100 miles; March 26,
100 miles March 81, 240 miles
March %, 269 miles; March %,
210 miles March 80, 100 miles
March 81, 230 miles; April 1, 1919
miles; April 2, 248 miles. The
first day out the Albert made $50
miles Tor 355 miles from the Col
den Gate) under easy canvas.
This is remarkable run for any
sailing vessel, and is equal to four
teen knots an hour.

came to themselves.
