ed along this evening. She left
Portland at I p. m. on Aug. I.
The I7-ton sloop Kussilofl
which called here about year ago,
has reached Manila. 1t will be
remembered the Captain had his
wife ard family on board this small
craft, and set sail Tor an Island in
the South Seas, presumably to found

The following sugar packets ar.
rived in San Francisco on the goth
July. most of them being out over
~ days: Consuelo, Capt. Jacob
sen, from Kahului; the bark Santi-
ago, Capt. Johnson, from Hilo; and
the schooner John G.. North, Capt
Carlson, fiom Honoipu.
The little tow-boat Alert of the
Spreckels Tug Company, accom-
plished a skillful feat in towing
two vessels into San Francisco at
one time. She had the barkentine
S. G. Wilder in tow, when sighting
the big ship Eudora, the tug ran
alongside her and picked her up
also. With their wheels thrown
over in opposite directions the two
vessels were kept apart while the
tug hauled them swiftly up the bay.
The S. S. Belgic, which arrived
last evening from the Orient, brings
a number Of Chinese and Japanese
immigrants for this port. There
were 500 Chinese and IS Japs. All
were taken over to the quarantine
station this morning in Hackfeld's
barges. The Belgic brought but
light freight, about $40 tons.
Purser Viswander reports fine but
uneventful voyage. She resumes
her voyage to San Francisco at a
p. III.
News has been received that the
bark Arkwright while on voyage
from Newcastle, N. S. W., to San
Francisco with a cargo of coal,
sprung a leak. She put into the
Fiji Islands in distress. 1t was
found impossible to take her fur
ther, and she was sold for $1,000.
Her cargo of coal was sold at auc-
ton. The Arkwright belonged to
Pope & Talbot, the owners of the
barkentine Klikitat, a regular trad
er to this port.
The new steamer Monticello,
built to carry passengers and freight
across Puget Sound, had narrow
escape from destruction by the
bursting of her boiler off Point
Arena. She was for two days at
sea in helpless condition and was
finally rescued by an opposition
steamer, the Sunol. The idea was
to run the Monticello in opposition
to the Sunol and the Southern Pac-
ific Co. Now the Southern Pacific
has a heavy claim for salvage,
which may result in the breaking
up of the new line.
Capt. Campbell speaks enthusiast
tically IF the fishing in Lake Tahoe
and is in possession OF photo
graph of fine I2H lbs. trout he
hooked in the lake. Capt. Camp
bell has met most of the exiles
while in San Francisco and is posi-
tive that there is no truth whatever
in any filibustering expedition be-
ing dispatched from the Coast.
While in San Francisco the captain
was presented with a fine cane,
which, apart from its intrinsic
value, is valuable possession, hav-
ing been made from piece OF
the famous Hartford, Admiral
Farragut's flag ship.
The City of Peking arrived of
the port last evening but did not
come into the harbor until this
morning. On the passage down
the Peking broke one of the blades
Of her propeller, which will cause
her some delay here, as new
blade must be substituted. 1t will
be necessary to remove about 500
tons of cargo from the stern of the
ship to tighten her up aft. The
vessel will then be listed over to a
sufficient angle to allow the new
blade to be put in position. 1t is
only matter Of five or six hours
to bolt on a blade when once the
vessel is in trim to allow the work
to proceed, so that long delay is
not anticipated.
