The German ship H. F. Glade, Haes-
terday afternoon, after very good run
of 113 days from Bremen, Germany
with German, Polish, Gallician and
Austrian laborers for various planta-
tions on these Islands. She sailed
from Bremen on April 4th and expert
enced very good weather until June

Then it was that she struck heavy
blow and mean weather. For II days
she beat about, trying to get an open
ing. Then she made south and struck
out for Honolulu. Had it not been for

62:31 W., the Glade passed very close
to two large and five small masses of
floating ice. Little pieces were found
