WHAT SAILOR MEN TALK Of
ASSISTANCE ARRIVES FOR THE
ARAGO.
Captain Perry to Have Charge of Re
pairs-S. S. Mariposa in Port-Aloha
to Go to Hilo-News and Gossip.

The S. S. Amur arrived at Victoria
on the 21st ult.
The Henry Willard arrived at Asio-
ria from New York on the cath ult.
The schooner Martha Nelson sailed
from Newcastle for Kahulu on the
23rd ult.
The barkentine S. G. Wilder, fifteen
days from Honolulu, arrived at San
Francisco on the gath ult. The Santi-
ago sailed from San Francisco on the
same day for Hilo.
Williams, Dimond d Co. have piac-
ed the schooner Aloha on the berth at
San Francisco direct for 1lilo. She
was to have commenced loading the
day the Mariposa sailed.
The steamer Maui has been expect
ed for three days, but has not put in
an appearance. Because of her fail
ure to arrive the Alice Cook cannot
finish leading, so that she will not get
away today.
The mate of the Amelia reports
that he saw a small steamer standing
off shore to the northeast yesterday
afternoon. AS no steamer sailed from
port in that direction yesterday, the
circumstance appears to be rather
odd one.
The L. S. S. Bennington went to sea
this morning for a weeks target prac-
tice. She had her guns all covered ov-
err with heavy canvass and everything
made especially fast, as she expected
a big blow outside. 1t is possible that
Captain Nichols may take a look af-
ter the floating wreck reported by the
Archer last week.
The S. S. Mariposa arrived this
morning, after an unusually rough
voyage. Gales were the order of the
trip. and she had to burn lots of coal
to make Roadway against them. Cap
tain Haywood says it was the rough
est voyage from San Francisco he has
experienced for over year. The
Mariposa brought few tons of cargo.
She sailed for the Colonies at ? p. m.
The Iwalani, James Makee and Ke
AT Hou arrived from Islands ports to-
day, the first named from Hawaii and
the Others from Kauai. The Iwalani
brought 4,56S bags of sugar, the Ma
kee 1,06S and the Ke Au Hou 1920
bags. All experienced exceedingly
rough weather in the channels last
night. Aheavy sea swept one of the
Makee's boats out of the davits. bend
ing the upright of the davits out of
shape.
Capt. Perry of the Simpson Lumber
Company, came down on the Mariposa
to assist Captain Greenleaf in repair
ing the Arago. He brought down an
entire new set of rigging and new suit
of sails for the vessel. The Arago will
go alongside the Oceanic wharf this
afternoon to discharge her sugar. At
ter she is discharged complete new
survey of her hold will be made. The
sugar will go into the warehouse for
the present. Captain Perry has been
here before, having been master of a
vessel in this trade.
The overdue barkentine Amelia ar
rived in port this morning, 3S days
from Seattle. with 100000 feet of lum-
Der, 10000 laths and 100000 shingles,
consigned to Allen & Robinson. She
experienced heavy weather all the way
down, and was often in imminent dan
ger, but Captain Willer nursed her
successfully through the rough seas,
and brought her safe to port. 1t was
five days after a start was made be-
fore he could get away from the Coast
and then the old barkentine expert
enced succession of heavy gales that
lasted for twelve days.
