The sternpost of the Keweenaw Broken-Ar-
rival Of the Mariposa and Belgic
Movements Of Vessels.

The beautiful little schooner Papeete,
built by the order of the French Govern
ment by Matthew Turner, came down from
the ship-yard at Benicia yesterday and
locked at Mission No. 2. She is as pretty
a model as has been seen on the bay Tor
months and Is cOppered nearly up to the
bends. She has very large spars for craft
Of her size and carries an immense spread
of canvas. AS the vessel will be used as
revenue cutter, the quarters for the crew
are extra large and comfortable. Her null
is constructed of the best material and well
put together, and the French Government
will have no cause of complaint either as
regards her sPaworthineSs or her speed, Tor
judging by her lines, il will take steamer
TO oyertake her in a breeze. The Papeete
will be armed with two guns, in all prOba-
billy ,qnecik-fring guns OF the new Fde hast
model. She viii be ready for sea IN about
five days and VIII be taken 10 Tahiti by a
crew from this port
sTERNPOST BROKEN.
The American steamer keweenaw was
lowed 10 the Union Iron Works yesterday,
10 be placed on the dry-dOck for repairs. IL
Will lie remembered that she lost her pro
peller in the Straits Of Magellan while on
the way from New York to this city and had
70 lie t0wed To Valparaiso, where she lay
until another wheel could be made Tor heT.
Although a new vessel she has leaked
around the Sternl ost ever since, and lew
days ago she was taken to MISSION bay,
where an investigation was made 1t was
then found that the steTnpOst was broken
and was only held together by tie plates.
Owing 10 the fact that the stern and rudder-
posts are one piece the cost Of repairing the
break will be rather heavy, because the en-
tire stern has TO be torn out in order 10 weld
the fracture.
