WHARF AND WAVE.

The Pacific Mail Company has been
obliged 10 charter another British
steamer for its Hongkong line, max
ing two so engaged, both now Ell route
to San Francisco
The island steamers sailing today
are the Mauna Loa, for Lahaina, Maa-
laea, kOna and Kau, at 10 a. m, and
the NOeau, for HonOkaa and Kukui-
haele, at 10 a. m.
The troopship Zaalandia sailed for
Manila yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
in company with the Arizona. An hour
later the Zealandia returned TO land
three StOWaWayS and sailed again at
noon.
The California and Oriental Steam
ship Company, the new line that is to
feed the Santa Fa railroad, has secured
as its first steamer the Belgian King.
2.170 tons. which has been entered out
at HOngkong for San Diego.
Capt. Peabody, who commanded the
i'll fated New York when she went
ashore in Half Moon Bay, is skipper
of the Hawaiian ship Williscott, which
sailed from San Francisco for Homo
lulu via NanaimO. October 18th.
For Honolulu there is inquiry at
Newcastle, says the coal circular by
the Moana, for freight at Dos but with
the number of vessels now under en-
gagement this is not likely to con-
tinue Four vessels have sailed since
the previous mail. with 4,170 tons of
coal, and those in port will take about
TO- 800 tons TO Honolulu.
Over 400 tons OF freight were left by
the Mariposa on the wharf in San
Francisco. destined for the Colonies,
on account of lack of room on board.
Only some twenty tons of United
states Government stores We're
brought TO this port. \ diver was
sent down at the stern of the Mari
pOsa shortly after her arrival here
yesterday TO examine the rudder,
which failed to come to time while
coming into port He found the bush
ing OF the upper Initial broken and fall
len down. which impeded the move
ment of the rudder The bushing was
taken out and the MaripOSa on her ar
rival in Sydney will probably so into
drydOck and complete the repairs.

PANBEsA,s LETTER.

Probably the oldest letter in the world is the letter of Panbesa, written fifteen centuries before Christ, to his friend Arnenemapt, a scribe.
 The manuscript is of perishable papyrus, and it is amazing that it should have survived for more than thirty centuries and still be legible.
 It is preserved in the collection of the British Museum. It has been several times translated during the present century, It presents an interesting picture of life in Egypt in the time of Harnesses II. It Is more in the nature of a literary production, poem com- posed in celebration of the visit of Pharoah to the city of Pa-Rameses. than an ordinary letter of to-day.
 Panbesa "greets his lord, the scribe Amenemapt, to whom be life, health and strength" and then goes on to de- scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing- floors, the vineyards, the groves of olives. the orchards of figs, the great daily markets, with their fish and waterfowl and swarms of purchasers.
 The citizens had their sweet wine of Kherni, pomegranate wine and wine from the vineyards" and to these they added 'tbeer of Kati.'
 There was music in plenty furnished by the singers of the school of Memphis.
 On the whole Pa-Rameses seems to have been a pleasant place to live in. a7yhe lesser folk are there equal with inc great folk" and Panbesa writes that its maidens were 'in holiday attire every day. with locks ''redolent of nerfumed oil" l"-Washington Star.
