bv a northwest hurricane which
struck them 100 miles off the coast.
They report severe weather.
The Hawaiian bark Mauna Ala
left Honolulu on October 18th, and
on the Dist and ODD was in a north
hurricane that forced Capt. Smith
to strip her to bare poles and put
out his oil bags. For forty-eight
hours the bark was without rag
of canvas, and during that time
she drifted from latitude So north
to $3.50. She came up in light
ballast, the island sugar crop hav-
ing been almost entirely disposed
of.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 5.-At this
writing, the wrecked Pacific mail
steamship City of New York is still
on the rocks off Point Bonita, but
is resting easy, owing to the re-
smooth weather that has
prevailed. Several attempts have
been made to raise her by pump
ing, but they were not successful,
as her cargo was not all out. She
was moved q few feet, however, on
the last trial, and divers can now

can be done before a heavy swell
comes, the steamer can be raised
and saved.
