Weather, hazy; wind, light north.

The American bark Elsinore,
Capt. G. o. Perkins, formerly of

nine days from Newcastle, N. S. w,
with $40 tons of coal.

serrat left for the South Seas on
Saturday afternoon.
The schooner Emma Claudina
sailed from Mahukona for San
Francisco May Sd with 6,357 bags
sugar valued at $2O,175.52. The
schooner Glendale, which arrived
from Honolulu May 10th, left Ma
hukona on the 18th with 1897 bags
sugar valued at $27, 5240S, also for
San Francisco.
The American four-masted
schooner Carrier Dove, has arrived
at Newcastle from Port Pirie,
after a passage of 10 days. The
schooner had an exceedingly trying
time on the passage. After run
ming round part of the way, she
was unfortunate enough to fall in
with the recent heavy northerly
weather, against which Roadway
could not be made. Occasionally
favorable start would be had,
before which the schooner would
bound along gaily, but only to be
again caught by nOrtherly gale,
which combined with a strong cur
rent setting to the south would
carry the vessel away back south.
She was up close to Nobbys when a
furious northeast gale was met
with, which came up so suddenly
and ragged with such violence that
no attempt could be safely made to
shorten canvas, the result being
that next morning she was IS miles
to the south of Sydney. On two
occasions since then she tackled up
to the vicinity of Nobbys and each
time she was driven back by heavy
northerly winds and currents. At
one time she was as far as 45O
miles off land. Thoroughly dis
gusted with this sort of treatment
from the raging elements, Captain
Brandt willingly accepted the ser
vices of the tug Irresistible when
off Sydney Heads, and was towed
to Broken Bay, where the vessel
remained till the arrival of a Local
tug, which towed her to port
