Passing OF the American Clipper.

Passing OF the American Clipper.
The following, from the London
Syren, will be appreciated by many who
recall with a tinge of sadness, the glor-
ious days when the Yankee clipper was
Mistress of the Seas:
ct is saddening to reflect that in less
than 10 years not a single American
wooden full-rigged ship will grace the
wrinkled face of old ocean. With stud
ding sails set on both sides, three sky
sails towering aloft, and often other
curiously named light sails well in evil
dence, the American clipper was sight
to crafty the requirements of even the
most eXacting seaman. The starry flag
was under every sky, and our docks
were full of attractive sailing ships
owned in the United States, and pre-
ferred as freight carriers before those
of any other nation. British ships were
long and narrow, built to evade an OBJ
noXious tonnage law. American ships
had more beam and were more sea-
worthy in every way than our own.
Sail could not be carried on the coffin
shaped craft under the red ensign,
whose masters had the modification
of observing the broad-beamed Amerf-
can clipper come tearing along under
cloud of canvas, while the instability
of their ships compelled them to be
snugged down. Immediately the per-
nicious tonnage law was repealed, Brit
ish shipowners and builders success
fully competed against their near kin
from the other side of the Atlantic.
Nothing has ever eQualed the perform
ance of the far-famed Thermopylae,
then belonging to the Aberdeen White
Star line Sail had reached its merid-
ian altitude. and gradually declined in
a glorious effulgence. The very fast
est of America clippers. some OF which
were most marvellous record breakers,
.paled before the ThermOpylae. Steam
has nowhere proved more fatal to sail
than in the United States foreign trade.
Capital finds much TO do in America in
railways. agriculture and internal de-
velopment of various kinds. A self
contained country, quite naturally per-
haps, regards the ocean-carry1ng trade
as of merely secondary consideration.
Consequently, the starry flag is now
very seldom seen in ports abroad, eX-
cept il is flying on one of the warships
of Americas modern fleet, concerning
which her citizens are justly proud"

Magee. the managing owner, withdrew
her from the business and a few
months ago sold her 10 the North
American Trading Company. Now the
is being cut down and trans
formed into a barkentine for the cod
carrying trade. Formerly she was a
twO-decker, but all the upper works are
being removed, and when the old whal-
ers who made their home in her year
after year see her again they viii not
know the new Emma F. HERMAN.
She viii lie low in the water, and alto

same company has also purchased the
whaling schooner Jane Gray, and will
send her TO Alaska on an otter hunting
expedition. Capt. y. Hodgson will take
her 10 either Sand Point or Sitka, and
there ship an Indian crew. after which
a cruise as far north as Copper Island
will be in order.

HARD CHARACTERS.
Two of the May Flint's Grew
Swim Ashore.


Early Thursday morning two sailors
from the bark May Flint jumped over
board and swan ashore. In accom-
plishing their escape they threw some
thing over one side of the vessel, and
while the deluded special police were
craning their necks in the direction of
the splash, the two men were scram-
bling over the other side. 1t was an
old trick, but it proved to be as good
as ever.
The men went up town and had the
calm assurance to stand on the corner
of Nuuanu avenue and Hotel street.
Kamaka, acting lieutenant of the first
watch happened TO come along, and,
noticing the wet clothes of the sailors,
accused them of being deserters. One
of the men answered with an oath, at
the same time drawing sheath knife
on Officer Kamaka. Before he knew it
he was sprawling on the ground, and
the other man had nothing to say.
With the assistance of Special Espinda
the deserters were marched to the po-
lice station.

The Samantha is loading sugar at the
Railroad wharf.
Joe Dillon didn't go on the Mauna
Loa His ocean travels are over for a

The barkentine S. n. Castle will not
begin loading sugar until about Tues
day next.
The Kaala arrived late Wednesday
with a cargo of sugar from Oahu orts.
She left on her usual route yesterday
afternoon.
The Robert Levers has been waiting
such long time for sugar that Captain
Goodman has at last found it necessary
TO buy couple Of bags.
When the Australia left San Fran
cisco the bark Martha Davis for Homo
lulu and the schooner Albert Meyer for
Kahului. were up and loading.
Captain Bill Williams says that Peep
ing Tom looked in at one of his win
dows at the light house while the Milo
vera was sailing out OF the channel.
Bill says he knows the man by the cut
Of his jib.
The British sealing schooner Agnes
Macdonald. Cutler master, arrived in
port late Wednesday, IA days from Vic
toria, B. C. She put into this port in
distress. having lost her rudder in lon
gitude 10 deg. west during a heavy
breeze. She will undergo repairs, and
sail for Japan about Monday.
Rumor had it yesterday Mr.. Lamp
son. engineer on the steamer Noeau.
would have his leg amputated during
the afternoon. 1t was found later that
this was an eXaggeration. Mr.. Lamp
son cut himself with a Ratchet on the
last trip of the Noeau to Kauai, and,
not realizing the extent of the injury
sustained. was somewhat careless.
Blood poisoning set in. but this does
not mean that his leg will have to
come off. Drs. Cooper and Raymond
are treating him.
The old whaling bark Emma F. Her

Kansas Pacific Passenger Train Leaps
Into swollen Stream.
Denver, Aug. 3.-The fast flyer on the
Kansas Pacific was wrecked at about
daylight this morning, 40 miles east of
Denver. Two trainmen were instantly
killed and five passengers were fatally
injured. The dead are:
John Ward. engineer of Denver.
James Harrington, express messenger,
of Denver.
The wreck resulted from washout
caused by the heavy rains of last night.
All the streams were flooded and the
swollen streams carried out part of the
bridge at Comanche creek between
Byers and Strasburg. The train was on
| time and running at its usual rate of
speed, when without any warning it
plunged into the abyss. The engine was
completely covered by the water with
the engineer under it. The cars were
piled up in hopeless confusion. The
fireman by strange good fortune escaped
with some few injuries that will probably
not prove fatal. Those that were mortal
ly injured were those in the forward cars.
Those in the sleeping cars were thrown
from their births and badly shaken up,
but not dangerously hurt.
Byers was five miles distant and the
conductor walked there and notified the
officials at Denver.
An hour later wrecking train left
here for the scene of the accident having
on board General Manager Duell and
several doctors.
Ward is we'll known in Denver, hav-
ing run engines out of here for years.
m.TThe relief train arrived in
Denver shortly after noon bearing the
dead and injured.
