ALONG SEA And SHORE.
The Warship Pensacola Arrives
From Honolulu.
She Will Probably Go Out Of Commission.
Investigating the San Rafael Acct
denton the Drydock.

The most important event In shipping cir
Giles yesterday was tie arrival of the
United States warship Pensacola from Hon
olulu. The old warship was decorated with
a 320foot homeward- bound penuant that
gayly foated from her main-royal truck.
A CALI reporter boarded her as she lay in
the stream off Union-street wharf, and was
received by Lieutenant w. III. Beehler the
executive officer, from whom he learned that
unless she is ordered to Bering Sea the ship
will go to Mare Island in a day or two and
be taken out Of commission.
The terms of most of the crew have nearly
expired, and they viii be sent East to be
paid off. 1t Is not likely that the vessel will
ever 60 into commission again, as she is not
worth the cost of the repairs needed to keep
her in seaworthy condition.
III spite of the fact that she was built be-
fore the war she is the best OF the old navy
now afloat, and is a fine specimen of the
warsnips that did good service during the
late unpieasantness. She arrived on this
coast In the early '76s, and since that time
has been flagship for fifteen years
a PLEASANT CRUISE.
The cruise 10 Honolulu and the Pacific
Islands was very pleasant one, and both
officers and crew enjoyed excellent health
was inspected by Admiral Brown. On the
10th inst the crews of both the Pensacola
and the San Francisco were taken ashore
and put through battalion drill. after which
they were inspected by the Queen, in person,
who highly cOmplimented the men on their
the appearance and proficiency.
Up to the time the Pensacola left Homo
lulu nothing had been heard 0i the Iroqu Is.

port and Will not call at Honolulu.
