The bark Orient, Christensen
master, arrived early yesterday af-
ternoon, after a very rough voyage
of SO days from Hongkong. On
February 18th a very heavy sea
struck the vessel and swept the
decks clear of everything. The
man at the wheel had his arm
broken and the wheel itself was
carried away. The cabin was filled
with water and things looked rath-
er dubious for while. The Orient
was here five years ago with Cap
tain Christensen in charge at the
time. Since then she has been
cruising along the China coast.
The crew of the vessel is made up
principally of Chinese. The cargo
consists of 500 tons of general mer-
chandise, consigned to Wing Wo
Chan & Co.
Robert Clough, mate of the Mo-
hican, denies the statement pub
lished in the Examiner, that that
vessel ran aground on the last voy-
age to San Francisco. Mr.. Clough
states that Pilot Scott was taken
aboard the Mohican about thirty
miles outside the Farraleones.
When the vessel got near the latter
place the wind died out, and the
pilot ordered an anchor put out.
Seventy fathoms of chain were run
and shortly after the wind sprang
up and the men were ordered to
take in the anchor The links in
the chain were too small to work
in the capstain and orders were
given to cut away. The vessel was
not ashore at anytime on the voy-
age and Captain Johnson, who is
commodore of Brewers feet left
the vessel at Frisco, because she
had been sold to Welch & Co. The
Mohican went in port all right and
the anchor and chain were recover
ed later by the tug Sea Queen.
Captain Johnson who is seventy
six years of age, has gone to his
home in the East. He will prob
ably be given command of a vessel
| in the Brewer line
