The Prosper is discharging at the

Hall is getting a full load and will be

bags of sugar, which will go into the
Fred +. Sanders. Mrs. Bryant and
child and w. l.. Stanley were the only
passengers on the Mikahala.
The Marion broke down |off port
yesterday, which accounts for her be-
ing towed in by the tug. Her en-
gines have not been in the best pos
sible condition, due to age and contin-
uous use. Commander Green had ord
cred imam overheard" drill. When
the shout was heard the engines were
stopped and reversed and the drill gone
through with. But when the signal
was given to go ahead again the
wheels refused to turn. Signals were
made to the Alert to send out tug.
When the Eleu arrived alongside, the
gunboats' engines We're in working
order again, but she accepted the tow.
The Marion is probably on her last
cruise.
The II. NJ. S. Miowera arrived last
night, after very severe passage
March 10th, and that same afternoon
experienced a heavy northwest gale,
with binding squalls of snow and
hail, which continued until o'clock
in the evening, when Cape Flattery
was passed. Then the wind freshened
into violent gale, making a very
high sea. Repeatedly the waves broke
over the deck, carrying away boat
and some deck partitions. The ship
was hove to that night for twenty-four
hours, and oil was used on the water
with good effect. Gloomy weather pre-
vailed until the 14th, but after that the
weather cleared and the remainder of
the run to port was very pleasant
