THE BARKENTINE PLANTER.
Captain Dow Receives a Caller
While His Ship is at Sea.
PLANTER

The barkentine Planter arrived
Yesterday afternoon, fifteen days
from Laysan Island. She brought
1000 tons Of guano for the new fer
tilizer works. Captain Dow made
the round trip in thirty-one days,
and by doing so he broke all pre-
vious records. The vessel went
down in eight days, but it took her
fifteen days on the return voyage.
Captain Dow states that, owing to
contrary winds, it took him four
days to make the last $50 miles.
The Planter will discharge at the
Railroad wharf, and after doing so
she will make another trip to Lay
san Island.
1t il understood that the schoon-
er Robert Levers will also go to
Lavsan Island as soon as she dis
charges her cargo Of lumber. Cap
tain Freeth and the men employed
on the island will not return to
town for about two months.
Captain Dow reports a pleasant
episode which occurred very early
on last Saturday morning. He
sighted the barkentine S. G. Wild
er, which left Honolulu last We'd
nesday both vessels were be-
Gained at the time, and were but a
mile apart. Captain Mcneil, of
the Wilder, had a boat lowered
and was soon alongside Of the
Planter. He remained on board
for some time and then returned to
his own vessel. He left a file of
the ADVERTISER with Captain Dow.
Captain Dow is as brown as it is
possible for a white man to become.
He is glad to get back to this port.
His many friends are glad to see
him around again.
