A SHIP WITH JOLLY CREW.
Lcng Voyage From L0nd on Made Lively
With Music and Dancing.

The British ship Port Douglas. Capt. A.
Mcdonald. arrived in port yesterday in
tow OF the tug Holyoke. The ship arrived
at Port Townsend on Sunday, AS days
from London, this being her first visit to
the Pacific coast. She is staunch stee!
ship of .592 tons register and 263 feet long,
being some thirty-.hree feet shorter than
the Eccleiechan, which was here . short
time ago. The voyage out was just about
an average one. and contained no Incl
dents of Importance except the loss o. one
man overheard. On May 8. when about
80 miles Off San Francisco in strong
wind. Karl Blouchen fell from the top
gallant yard into the sea and was drowned.
He was with others aloft at the time, and
the eye bolt holding the rope on which he
stood pulled out of the block, letting him
into the sea.
The full complement of men aboard the
Port Douglas is wenty-eight, including
the captain, but two having deserted at
Port Townsend the ship came 10 Seattle
with twenty-five men aboard. The crew
has band aboard and was celebrating its
arrival yesterday afternoon with a dance
on the forward deck. The boys have two
vioiins, an ACCORDION, flute, bass drum
and the bones, and those who do not play
can dance Mr.. Graham, the first mate.
says that from to s O'Clock p. III. all
through the voyage the boys have cele-
bra,ed with dance and good time gener.
ally
Capt. Mcdonald is big jolly Scotch
man. whose color indicates that he has
been scorched with the tropical sun.
The ship was entered at the Seattle Gus
tom house yesterday afternoon, and the
duties on the goods will be paid in Ia
coma. Rev. J. Il. Alexander, British vice
consul at Tacoma. came over TO attend to
the consular part of entering the ship.
The cargo consists of cement and general
merchandise. and about 100 tons of the
latter will be discharged here. All the
cement will be taken to Tacoma. |. is
probable that the work of dischargins will
begin this afternoon.
