The MonoWai Arrives
From Australia.
A Rough Day on the Bay-Trial Trip
Of the Tug Katie O'NeiIl, With
Guests Aboard

The steamer Monowai arrived from the
Australian colonies and Honolulu yester-
day afternoon. Her passage up was a slow
one for the reason that between New Zea-
land and Honolulu she encountered very
rough weather. During one storm which
struck her sailor was washed against the
rail and had his arm broken.
Her passenger list was a full one.
Ameng those from Honolulu were the
three Judges of the Supreme Court. In
the steerage she had also the members of
the crew of the bark George N. Wilcox,
which was wrecked off Molokai on Septem-
Der 19. the account of which appears in an
other column.
Adv.ces were received here yesterday
that the steamer MackinaW had been towed
into Astoria 10 disabled condition. Her
ruddtr post and rudder were gone and she
was leaking in one of the after compart-
ments. The tug Fearless will go from here
to tow the steamer down to this port. where
she will 90 on the drydock and be over
hauled.
The schooner Ghetto, which arrived
from Karluk on Friday night, made the
fastest trip on record. Captain jacobson
reports that they left Ksrluk on August
II at4 P. NJ. and made the run down in "a
OF salmon on the deck and not one case
was lost, which is another remarkable
incident.

being badly damaged al Washington-street
wharf yesterday morning. As she was
pulling out from the wharf her b0wsprit
fnuled with the anchor of the big ship
Glory OF the Seas and was torn away. The
tug Water Nymph came TO the relief of
the Independence and hauled her clear.
No damage resulted to the snip.
There was quite a gale blowing on the
bay yesterday and several vessels drifted,
hut no collisions occurred. As the ship
L 'uis Walsh, bound for Puget Sound, was
being towed out by the Sea Queen her sails
were blown away. and she was compelled
TO return for new ones.
The tug Katie ONeiil steamed around
the bay yesterday on trial trip to test
her speed ana equipments since she has
been overhauled by her new owners, the
Pacific Marine Supply Company. In spite
of the rain she left about noon with a

down 10 Hunters Point, then around Goat
Island to Red Rock and back by Way OF
Angel Island.
