membered-Marine Notes.

Clouds of canvas appeared IN the ofing
yesterday morning, and before 5 o'clock 10 the
afternoon a number OF the overdue sailing
vessels were reported outside. In the feet
were: The italian iron ship Macdiarmid, 181
days from Liverpool with coal for j. ID. Spreck-
els s. Bros; the British ship Crocodile. III
days from London with merchandise for Bal
four. II ut hrie & Co.: the italian ship f. S.
Ciampa, 15S days from swansea with coal for
Spreckels. and the British ship Pytnomene, So
days from Newcastle with coal for Bafour.
The American bark Kate Davenport,
eighteen days from Port Blakely, reports
having bren delayed eight days at Port Angeles
on account OF the rough weather outside the
sound.
Captain Wilson of the British ship Crocodile
states that he put into Valparaiso for provi-
sions. his crew having been forced 10 subsist
on short rations alter the cape had been
rounded
Tue nOn-arrival OF any deep-water vessels
had kept the water front exceeding dull until
yesterday. The mere fact that a large fleet of
ships had arrived seemed TO give new impetus
10 shipping and brighten up the spirits of the
city-fronters IN no small degree.
During the spell OF rough weather encOun-
tered OF Cape F1attery by the ship John e.
Potter on her last trip TO port from the sound a
number OF her crew became panic stricken at
the violence of the gale, took to the foreca stle
and could not be enticed 10 leave il until after
the blow was over. The ship was left short
handed. and most OF the work OF operating her
was left 10 her captain, first and second officers
and boatswain. The Potter with difficulty
weathered the gale and succeeded in reaching
port.
Local shpwrlghts and ironworkers were
much disappointed at the decision OF the own
ers OF the steamer Miowera 10 send the vessel
10 Esquimalt. thence 10 England. for repairs.
Pauper labor being available In the United
Kingdom, the Miowera was not given over %
local repairers, but sailed yesterday at 2:3O
O'Clock on voyage OF 5000 miles rather than
have her owners spend their gold In a foreign
port.

were prohibited from being circulated in this
city, but the coin paid 10 The Mtowefa'S crew
was also forced TO remain in the mems pOcK cts
until the steamer can reach Victoria. Every
man OF the crew was paid bonus of one
months salary on Tuesday for their loyalty in
remaining by The ship, but strict orders were
given that no man should be allowed ashore
after his money had been paid over TO him..
Much disappointment was felt by the men, who
hoped to be able TO have IA days run on shore
before The steamer sailed, many desiring to
have look at the Midwinter Fair.
