The Helene will sail tomorrow af-

to Hanna will be very large.
The Alice Cooke has hauled back in

Captain Plunkett of the lredale and
Captain Joselyn of the Nuuanu, while
waiting for sugar, are learning to ride
the wheel, which has become very
popular among the shippers during
the past few years. Both are apt put
pills. but they get an occasional fall,
to the immense satisfaction of their
brethren i'm port, who through long
practice have become more skilled in
the art of riding. When along the
docks keep weather eye out for the

The American schooner Emma and
Louisa. Captain Harris, San Diego,
with 116 tons of fertilizer and feed
stuffs, consigned to Waterhouse & Co.,
and crew enough, almost, to man n
full rugged ship, arrived this morning.
Five of the men on the articles, how
ever, admitted that they were only
passengers. The schooner has no boats
or even a life boat aboard. The skip
per reports that they were washed
| away in heavy weather, although the
baled hay, piled high on the deck,
seems to be intact and uninjured. The
customs authorities had evidently
been notified to keep an eye on the
Emma and Louisa. for on her arrival
inside, she was very rigidly and thor
oughly searched; however. without re-
suit. The schooner is 90 DAYS from
San Diego. She will discharge at the
Irmgard wharf.

tine Encore, recently built for Simp-
son, the California lumber man, at
Coos Bay, arrived this morning from

nitrate, for Castle d Cooke. She is
on her maiden voyage, and accordn.-
to Captain j. l.. Panno's report. it has
been an unusually successful one. Af-
ter being launched at Coos Bay the
Encore took cargo of lumber to
Valparaiso, making the passage in &c
days. From there she went to Calde-
IN and then to Caleta Buena. leaving
there for this port IS days ago. Al
though she has been five months away
from home, the Encore has been un-
der sail but 9S days, and in that time
has covered $4,000 miles. So fine has
been the weather all the way that
not once have the royals been down
or sail taken in on account of wind.
The four and aft sails have only been
down four times since she left Coos
Bay. and then when she was in por,.
The Encore is of type that has re-
Gently become popular. and Is very
staunchly built. Her registered ton
mage is 572, but Captain Panno says
he can store away 1850 tons of cargo
in her. He expects to get a cargo OF
sugar here. Captain Panno has visit
ed this port twice before, in the ship
Mercury, the last time almost twelve
years ago.
