leave next Wednesday for Puget
Sound. She is one of the few
American vessels coming here that
can go to sea without ballast.
Just as the steamer ". G. Hall
was leaving Hoopuloa, kona, Ha-
wall, during the early part of this
week, @ big school of sharks was
seen near the vessel. No less than
twenty monsters were counted, and
the steamers people believe that
the smallest must have been at
least 20 feet long. The sharks
were left undisturbed.
= The steamer Kaimiloa was low
cred from the marine railway yes
terday, and has taken her old
mooring in the naval row.

loading coal in a few DAYS, and is
expected to leave in ballast for
Departure Bay, B. c., next We'd
nesday to load coal for this port.
Captain Swenson, the skipper, was
putting new planks into her port
balwarks yesterday. The captain,
being a carpenter by trade, does
all the carpentering work on his
vessel. On his last visit to Port
BIakely, he put in a new bow to
his vessel with the aid of hired
laborers. Although the Matilda is
thirty-fve years old, she is still
sound and staunch, as may be
judged by the way she weathered
the storm off Cape Flattery on her
last voyage down. There are but
few pieces remaining in her of the
planks and timbers used |
in her construction thirty-fiye years
ago, all being new.
The brigantine ". G.. Irwin will |
leave for San Francisco some time
next week. If the bark Alden |
Besse gets in during the next few

elsville, both on Maui, were shipped |
by the steamer Hawaii from the |
iron works yesterday.
: The small dory, the loss Of which
has so worried Captain Rice, of the
Eleu, for day or two, was brought
back by a native fisherman yester-
day. The man said he found it on
the Kalihi beach, and he received |
r dollar for his trouble.
In the dispatch announcing the
award of the contracts on gunboats
Z, 8 and 8, an error was made in
quoting a bid of the Coronado
Iron Foundry and Machine Com
pany of San Diego on gunboat Z.
The bid was on gunboat s, the
making no bid at all on
No. I. This error Of the wires led
to another, for, in commenting on
the bids, the Chronicle drew atten-
lion to the fact that the Union Iron
Works bid was higher than that of
The Coronado Company. Since
then it has been learned that the
latter concerns bid was on No. s,
and that the Union Iron Works
Did on No. was the lower Of the
TWO by $22,O00.-S. F. Chronicle,
