She left the Sound on


March 22d.
It is doubtful if the Likelike will
make any more trips for sugar
after her present one. She will be
the first sugar steamer TO be tied
up.
The w. G. Hall left for wind
ward ports yesterday and strange
to say she did not have any pas
sengers for the Volcano.
The bark Albert is anchored in
the stream awaiting sugar. Cap
tain Griffiths will not get away as
soon as he expected.
The Lyman D. Foster is loading
sugar at the railroad wharf. Her
Captain expects to get away to-
morrow.
The fourteen day trip of the
Alden Besse is the fastest on rec
ord for that vessel.
The Lehua arrived at 10 O'Clock
last evening.
A court of inquiry, consisting of
British Consul Donohoe, Captain
Killey of the Simla and Captain
Millman of the Crown of Denmark,
made an investigation into the con-
duct of Captain John Dawson of the
British bark Archer, who lost his
vessel off Cape Flattery. The bark
went on her beam ends and was
abandoned by the captain, after two
men had been drowned. She was
afterwards towed into Clayognot,
and the crew were picked up and
brought to this port. Captain Daw-
son gave graphic description OF the
wreck, and his story was listened TO
with the deepest interest. His ac-
count was corroborated by the
officers and crew The captain was
exonerated by the court, and his GER
tificate returned 80 him.-S. 4.
Chronicle.
Captain j. S. Higgins, who fell
from a gang-plank while boarding
the steamer South Coast. OF which
his son is master, at Washington
street, a few days ago, died at his
residence in this city recently. The
deceased was prominent in shipping
circles, owning shares in many YES
sells owned in this port, and being
among the first to engage in the
steam-schooner business here. Com
ing of a sea-faring family himself,
he leaves number of sons, most of
whom are masters or officers of YES
sells sailing coastwise from this port.
The accident he met with was appar-
emily a slight one, and his many
friends thought he would soon recov-
er, but his old age was against him.
IS. f. Paper.
The Belgic, which arrived on the
Sth inst, from China and Japan,
brought the news that the steamer
Tantalus had been hauled off the
rocks and locked at Hongkong.
The vessel was on her way from
Annoy to Hongkong and had on
board HOO Chinese. She went on
the rocks at Table island and there
was wild scene with the Chinese.
Through the exertions of the officers,
however, every coolie was safely
landed. A tug was sent to the Tant-
alus' assistance, but she was also
wrecked The cargo was then light
cred, the big steamer foated into
deeper water and towed to Hong
kong She was on the dock when
the Belgic sailed.-S. f. Examiner.
A London dispatch to the
Merchants Exchange states that the

the coast, and recently sailed with a
cargo from northern port.-Call.

ment.
