WHARF AND WAVE.

Ian Steamship Company, recently
died in London.
The barkentine Amelia has been
chartered to load lumber from Eu-
reka to Honolulu.
The schooner Alice Cooke left
San Francisco on the 18th inst,
bound for Puget Sound.
The steamer Waialeale will be
laid up for about three weeks. She
will receive a general overhauling
in the meantime.
The bark Matilda left Port
Blakely on the 10Th with a cargo
of lumber, the destination not
being reported. 1t is presumed
she left for Honolulu.
The White Star Line steamer
Teutonic arrived at Queenstown
from New York on July 31st, hav-
ing on board 1442 passengers.
This is the largest number ever
conveyed across the ocean on any
one steamer.
The steamer Alameda, Captain
Morse, arrived early yesterday
morning, six days three and one
half hours from San Francisco.
She had quite a number of passen-
gers for this port. The voyage was
a pleasant one throughout.
The City Of Picking, on her last
voyage to China and Japan, took
away one of the largest cargoes
that has gone to the Orient in some
time. Among the freight are con-
siderable provisions, one item alone
being nearly $1,000 sacks Of -four
The British brig L'Avvennier
was recently sold at San Francisco
to satisfy a claim of $500 due for
repairs to the vessel. She was cold
for $1,000 II will be remembered
that the L'Avvennier put in here
some months ago in distress and
after being repaired she left for
San Francisco.
Captain Noyes of the sealing
schooner Bowhead was recently
presented with a gold-headed cane
by the hunters of the Winchester.
1t seems that while the vessels
were in the Japan sea Captain
Noyes gave the Winchester the tip
on good sealing grounds, and the
hunters pulled in 1900 skins.
On the last trip of the steamer
China to San Francisco she
smashed all records by making the
run from Yokohama in less than
u days. On June %, 1892, the
China made the phenomenal run
from Yokohama in y days, 10
hours, 6 minutes and on August
10, 1898, she made the same pas.
sage in y days, Is hours and %
minutes.
The steamer Colima got into
port today august 1Sth) from
Panama with the steamer Clyde in
tow. She was just a month but
one day in making the trip, and
the officers of the vessel say it was
the slowest voyage they ever had.
The Clyde has been in the coast
ing trade along Mexico and Cen
trail America for years, and her
machinery has given out from old
age and constant use. She was
tied up at Panama for a long time
useless, but at last she was brought
to San Francisco for repairs. She
will have a thorough overhauling,
and there is a probability that the
most of her machinery will be re-
newed before she will be sent out
on a voyage again.-S. f. Exam

The U. S. Flagship Philadelphia,
arrived at San Francisco about
noon of the 22d inst, and anchor
ed off Washington street wharf,
10 days from Honolulu. She re.
ported pleasant weather until two
days from the Coast when fog was
encountered, Owing to her long
stay in this harbor her speed was
diminished at least two knots per
hour by the marine growth on her
hull, and during the first part of
the voyage she did not log more
than seven to nine knot with half
power. She was to go to Mare
island on the 23d and await a
chance to go into dock. Commo-
dore Beardslee was in readiness to
take command of the Pacific sta
ton. The future employment of
the ship was not known. The
Charleston was expected to leave
at an early date for Japan.
