Storage steward, TWO walters and two
sailors. All these men are now looking for
jobs, and the chances are they will fad it a
difficult task. Fong Wo was the cause of
the trouble 10 certain extent He sailed
in transit from Hong Kong to Champerieo,
and is now very likely in San Francisco.
That is the way the trouble has bssn re-
ported at the ship, bat il is said to be the
end of a case where money was stolen from
the ship and the men in question were sus-
pected. As soon as the Chi naman escaped

wooden ship i'll the world. and is splendid
triumph of American marine architecture.

builders Arthur Sewail IL Co., at Bath, Me-,
and was launched three months ago. Her
dimensions are: Length. 80 feet; breadth,
90 feet; depth. 80 feet; registered tonnage.
about $500 tons. She is about 800 tons
larger than the famous Shenandoah. which
came out here under the command of Cap

attracted so much attention, she being then
the largest wooden vessel atiOat and was
built by the same firm, as was also the i'll
lated Rappahannock, which was lost iu
storm on her voyage hither of Cape Horn.
The Roanoke. judging from her lines, as
exhibited in the model, will prove a very
fast sailor. and it is expected that she will
eclipse the passage of the Shenandoah She
