II. b. NJ. S. Wild Swan, Commander
Napier, arrived from Victoria yester-
day morning, after pleasant voyage
of fifteen days. She is on her way to
southern waters, but will remain in
port here about three weeks. The Of
ficers of the Wild Swan and Marion are
old acquaintance. The British gun
boat went ashore in the harbor at Cal
lao last September, while the Marion
was at that port and the Marion's
diver made the preliminary repairs on
her that enabled her to continue her
voyage. Later the White Swan went
ashore at Tanning Island, but without
sustaining serious damage. Following
is list of the officers of the cruiser:
Commander, Capt. Macvey Napier;
lieutenants, w. ID. Church and John
Coke; navigator, Sampson Sladen; pay
master, c. Ward; surgeon, II. Mar
riott; chief engineer, H. ainsford; gun
ner, F. Blewett; midshipmen, j. Cole
and C. osborne.
The American ship Luzon, which ar
rived yesterday from Shanghai, was
five months in the Chinese port under
going repairs that cost her owners
100000. On September % last she went
ashore on the Woo Sung bar, in the
Shanghai harbor and was at first re-
ported to be a total wreck, as her
back was almost broken. Afterward
she was hauled off and went on the
dry dock, where she remained for so
days. She comes OIL practically as
staunch and fast as ever. Capt. Park
this port. 1t is his first visit too. He
has been trading between New York
and Shanghai for ten years in the
Luzon, but this is the first time he
has taken her around the world, and
only his second trip around, although
he has been master for twenty-four
years. On the voyage out from Shang
hal the run to within 500 miles of the
islands was made in twenty-one days,
but it took seventeen days more to get
in here. The ship encountered one
which Capt. Park says the wind ex-
ceeded in velocity any previously en-
countered by him in his sea travels.
The Luzon will load sugar here for
New York. She ought to get away
within ten days
