supposed to be the Nuuanu, now 1875
DAYS out from New York, to Brewer &,
Co. Up to noon she had not displayed
any colorS or signals. and the Dia-
mond Head lookout was unable either
TO determine her nationality or her
identity. The Nuuanu is the only

The Yorktown had a scraping and
painting, on the dry dock before she
left the CHINA station, and is in
pretty good condition. She came over
lesurely, putting i'm fourteen days on
the passage. The Yorktown has been
on the China station since November,
1894. Nearly all of the present occu-
pants of her wardroom were transferr-
ed to her from the Machios, when the

weeks ago. The Yorktown will re-
main in the harbor for about month.
The whaling vessel Josephine, Cap
tain Howard. which. it viii be remem-
bered, lay off this port several years
ago with smallpox aboard, recently
| reached New Bedford, after an alb
sence from home of seventeen years,
with the biggest catch recorded in
many years. She had slowed away
under her decks 100 barrels of sperm
oil, in addition to 1900 barrels which
had been sent home by others vessels.
| The Josephine left Boston in 1850 for
the Pacific ocean. and until about six
months ago, when she started on her
cruise. which is just ended, she has
been whaling on the Pacific ocean. Of
the feet of whalerS which left for the
| Pacific. and which included nearly 40
vessels, only five besides the Josephine
have ever returned to Massachusetts,
the remainder having either been sold
on the Pacific coast or wrecked. The
Josephine is said to be the finest
whaling vessel atoat at present. Her
cargo reached the market in an eX-
ceptionally good time. as the price of
oil has advanced from 45 to 80 cents
per gallon.
