brought from China by the Pacific Mail

Albert Rostrop, seaman from the
American bark Sarah Rldgway, which was
lost about seven months ago on the Aus
tralian coast was a passenger on the
Monowai. During the gale that wrecked
the vessel he was struck by falling spars
and had his right leg broken below the
knee. The captain took him into the
cabin and set the limb. Four days after,
the bark went down and Rostrop was
washed out of his bunk by the seas that
broke over the laundering vessel.
He was taken into boat and suffered
from exposure, hunger and his broken leg
for five days. They were all rescued and
the limb afterward amputated.
The Monowai brings news of the loss of
the steamer Chatterthun bound from Sgd
ney to China, which struck on rock near
the former place August and disap-
peared in Is minutes with about IS per-
sons.
DR.. Copeman, Officer Langfear, Pilot
Fraser, Mr.. Crane and about twenty of
the Chinese crew were saved.
The investigation of the charges made
against Edward T. Mclean. the mail-dock
inspector accused of taking articles from
the baggage of Chinese, took place yester-
day before Collector Wise. The Chinese was
present and insisted that he gave Mclean
the shirt, which fully exonerated the ac-
cused Customs Inspector. The other
charges were not substantiated, and the ac-
cused was acquitted.
To-day the race between the yachts Ell
Sueno and Queen for the San Francisco
challenge cup will be sailed. The cruise is
from the the end of the narrow-gauge pier,

then around another boat moored near
Mission Rock, and to the starting point.
The race will come off at o'clock, and the
steamer Bay City Will leave the foot of
Market street at l, following the race.
The scow Henrietta NJ was capsized at
Main street yesterday morning by over
loading. Captain William Munday said
Friday was his unlucky day, but thought
it was Thursday, and, thinking that she
n NJ ho fhnr 1or
cept Friday, piled wood upon the scow
until. true TO her fate, she went over. She
was finally righted, but the cargo floating
around the bay was loss.
Henry 7. Scott has received cable mes
sage from his brother, Irving NJ. Scott, an
noancing the latter's arrival at Yokohama
on August 26. The steamship on which
Mr.; Scott sailed left this port August ID,
and consequently made the run in thirteen
days or less. This is a remarkably swift
passage, but does not break the record be-
tween San Francisco and Yokohama
The sealer Winchester, which arrived
late Thursday evening from the north, was
enormously reported to have been seized
by the customs officials for taking seals in
prohibited waters. Inquiries at the Gus
tom house failed 70 raise any information
the seizure.
J. ID. Sullivan was appointed engineer
on the quarantine tug Governor Perkins in
place of Dick Cousins. time expired.
Criminal proceedings have been COM
menced against Captain w. P. Noyes of
the schooner Bowhead and Captain A. C.
of the schooner Sophia Suth-
erland charging them with making false
statements. The penalty of such offense
IS fine of 5000 or six months imprison-
rnent or both. In the case of Sutherland
the charges can hardly be substantiated,
as his log revealed the taking of seals in
waters and the act was COM
mitted by the hunters in disobedience of
the captains orders.
Purser B. B. Bendall of the Monowai de-
serves honorable mention. He makes out
