WHAT SAILOR MEN TALK Of
BARKs FRESNO AND r. T.. RtTHET
ARRIVE.
Both Make Long Passages Captain
Andrews Version of the Collision
Water Front News and Gossip.

The Waialeale returned yesterday
from windward Oahu ports. with 2OSS
bags of sugar, which is going into
the Australia.
The Irmgard will finish discharging
her inward cargo tonight, but will
not get any sugar until the Archer
has secured full cargo.
The bark C. ID. Bryant is topping
off her cargo from the Hall this morn
ing, and will sail some time tomorrow
for San Francisco with a full load.
The Kauai will go on the marine
railway today or tomorrow The Clau-
dine will take the Hilo route, sailing
at 10 a. IN. tomorrow, and the He
lene the Maui run, sailing at p. m.
Much interest is being evinced in
the speed trial of the Hawaiian s. s..
China, now on her way from Yokoha-
ma to this port. This will be the
first time that she had been put to a
test for an ocean record. 1t is gener-
ally believed that she will arrive here
on the evening of the 10th, and will
sail again as soon as possible. About
GOO tons of coal will be piled on the
dock for her when she arrives. Such
fast travelling consumes an enormous
amount of fuel. General Manager
Schwerin will surely have his Christ
mas dinner at home.
The Hawaiian bark, r. p Rithet,
Captain Thompson, arrived this morn
ing, 90 days from San Francisco. She
has full cargo of hay, grain and
light general merchandise, but sits so
high in the water that head winds
materially delayed her progress. The
Rithet brought deck load of $50
hogs, owned by G. r. Stewart, who
was a passenger. Despite the long
voyage all of the porkers arrived safe
and sound. The Rithct is locked at
the Irmgard wharf.
The Hawaii arrived from Hawaii
late Saturday afternoon, after land
ing forty-tive head of cattle at the Mo-
lokai settlement. The Honomu mill
was successfully landed under the di-
rection of Captain Weir. AS the wea-
Their was commencing to get rough, a
special permit was secured to work a
week ago Sunday. Only two small
pieces of machinery were lost from
the last boat load. Divers were sent
down. but the water was too muddy,
so that the work had to be postponed.
The steamer Lehua got in this
morning from Hilo, with 25 head of
cattle and way freight. Captain An
drews has but little to say of his col
lision with the Kaala. which resulted
so disastrously for the latter vessel
except that he heard no whistle from
the Inter Island steamer IS she back
ed into the stream. The Lehua, Cap
tain Andrews says, was bound for sea
under full head of steam, and had the
right of way. AS she swept around
the stern of the Australia and bore
down upon the Kaala. Captain An
drews says he ordered the helm put
hard down, and reversed his engines.
The Kaala, he says, paid no attention
to warning cries and continued to
back, and the collision was unavoid-
able. The Lehua was uniniured by
the compact.
