The ship A. j. Fuller sailed from
! New York on December 9th, and is
! the next vessel expected here in tine
Brewer line.
The British bark Iredale. having
completed her cargo, has hauled into
the stream, ready to sail for San
Francisco on Monday.
The 5. S. Moana has not yet put in
an appearance, but there is no anxiety
on tnat account. She is confidently
| expected in the morning.
The Encore is receiving sugar from
J the Makahala and james Makee this
morning, and expects to get enough
the first of the week to get away for
| the Coast about the middle of the
week.
! The Hawaiian bark Andrew Welch
arrived this morning from San Fran
| cisco. after pleasant voyage of Is
days. She brings 400 tons of general
cargo to Brewer g. Co., 22O hogs and 6
/ horses. j. ID. Avery, Jr., c. r. Green
and II. NJ Freck were the only pas
sengers.
Reports received from Kauai this
morning say that sugar is piling up
there at a great rate. The Kauai
loaded at Makaweli and ought to be in
this afternoon. The Hall is loading
at Hamamaulu, and Captain Hagiund
sent word that he would surely be
here IN the morning.
The John ID. Sprechels will get away
for San Francisco some time on Mon
day, with cargo of about 1000 bags
of sugar. She will have all in today eN-
cept about 1000 bags, which she will
get on Monday from the Mikahala.
Captain Christensen is anxious to ov-
erhaul the barkentine Irmgard and
try conclusions with her.
The little schooner Moi Waihine ar
rived this morning with the first lot
of Hamakua sugar, consisting of 2i34
bags. She reports the weather still
very rough on the Hawaii coast. The
Helene managed to effect a landing
at Paauhau last Thursday, after ly-
ing outside for week. and was slow
ly discharging freight when the Moi
Waihine sailed There is plenty of
sugar on the Hamakua coast.
The Spokane discharged 100000 feet
of lumber yesterday from her deck.
which Captain Jamison thinks is about
the best days work done in port for
long time. The captain is anxious
to get away for the Sound in order to
take advantage of the big rates. He
does not expect to return here next
trip, but will probably be sent out to
Japan or to Australia. where lumber
| is greatly in demand.
After a day or two of comparative
calm. the bad weather has again set
in on the Kauai coast, ana bids fair
to be worse than before. The James
Malee and Mikahala took advantage
of the calm streak to get cargoes at
| Kilauea and Hanamaulu. arriving here
this morng. The Jamens Makee lay
for a week off Hanamaulu, and could
not effect landing at Kapaa until
last Thursday, when she managed to
land her freight and get part OF a
load of sugar by shutdown. The next
morning it was again too rough to
get in at Kappa, and she had to finish
loading at Hanamaulu, securing in all
1904 bags of sugar and 800 rice. The
Mikahala could get but 1890 bags of
sugar at Kilauea when the weather
became too rough to work any more.
| She then proceeded to Hanamaulu,
! where she took in 1000 more and came
| home.
! The American barkentine Arago,
now in port, has had a most success
| full year, and Captain Greenleaf is
/ justly proud of the performance of his
vessel. On October ID, 1896, he cross
| ed the Columbia river bar, lumber lad
en-. for Nagasaki, going thence to
Kobe, then to San Francisco, Grey's
! Harbor, South Africa, Westport and
| here, landing during that time three
cargoes. The actual time at sea was
about 2i0 days, and the distance COW
cred $4,000, making an average of 100
miles per day. As 100 miles per day
is considered good average sailing, it
may be seen that the Arago did fast
work. The voyage from Grey's Har-
Dor to South Africa was made in Sc
days, and thence to Westport in 80
days. Captain Greenleaf says that he
would have arrived here - days soon
err had it not been for the accident
which cost him his fore top gallant
mast. As it was he came up in 40
| days. The Arago will finish discharg-
| ing coal today, and next week will
commence loading sugar for San Fran
| cisco. Captain Greenleaf hopes to
have his cargo in befoiS the middle of
| February.
