News of Bark Nuuanu-Mohican S
Smart Passage and Gossip.

The dredger is on the marine rail-
way undergoing general repairs.
The Admiral's flag has been trans
ferred to the Bennington, where it
will remain while the Baltimore is alb
sent from port.
The Il. p. Rithet and Robert Levers
will probably get away the first of
the week with full cargoes.
The Waialeale will take the Kahuku
and Punaluu run. commencing tomoi
row. She can only carry about 5000
bags out of there.
Considerable sugar was received oy-
err Sunday, the Claudine bringing in
1893 bags, the James Makee 176s, the
Waialeale 3GS1 and the Hall 6340 bags.
The Robert Levers hauled down
alongside the steamer Hall at the In
ter Island wharf and the Waialeale
went on the outside of her. From the
two the Hawers will receive several
thousand bags of sugar.
The bark Nohican. Captain Saund-
ers, arrived yesterday, after a smart
trip of ~ days from Sun Francisco.
She comes consigned to Castle &, Cooke
with GGO tons of general merchandise,
and BOB hogs. for the Metropolitan
Meat Co. She had fine weather all the
way.
The Baltimore sailed this morning
for a six days cruise and target prac-
tive over toward Lahaina. Her de-
parture was witnessed by large
crowd on the wharves. Admiral Miller
remained in port, transferring his flag
to the Bennington.
Captain Mosher, who lost the kaala
at Kahuku last week, was placed in
command of the kalua this morning,
and will continue as her master until
the new steamer is completed. No
blame was attached to Captain Mosh-
err for the loss of the Kaala. Purser
Spencer is working in the general Of
flee on the dock. The other officers
of the wrecked vessel will be given
berths as fast as possible.
Shipping Master Louis Everett of
the Wilder company had narrow es-
cape from death under the wheels of
an express wagon this morning. He
was on his bicycle and collded with
the wagon in front of the Washington
Feed Company's place of business.
One of the wagon wheels passed over
his leg and shoulder, bruising the
flesh badly, but breaking no bones.
The bicycle was not injured.
All steamers that have arrived from
Kauai ports during the past two days
report the weather there even worse
than ii was last week. Although most
of them secured cargoes much of the
up freight had to be brought back.
Sugar is again piling up in the ware
houses, nearly $4,000 bags being on
hand at last accounts. The Makee
could only get half a cargo at Kapad.
and the Mikahala is having hard
time of it at Kilauea.
Up to Saturday evening the bark
Nuuanu had not arrived at Kahului.
nor had she been sighted from Maui
anywhere. She left here last Tues
day. under sail. for Kahului. to finish
loading sugar there. According to
Captain Cameron's report, it has been
blowing a lively gale in the channel
all week and it is not likely that Cap
tain Josselyn would attempt to make
port. He could only carry the small
est canvass in such a blow. IT is re-
lated that one vessel was nineteen
days in making the trip few years
ago.
For the first time in 191 voyages,
Captain Cameron of the Claudine says
he couldn't look at Kipahulu last
week. The Claudinp had very bad
week of il around Maui. 4 norton of
the Hamoa freight had to be loaded
at Hama. where the harbor was ve"y
rough. So hard did it blow that the
Claudine was / hour 33 minutes IN
running from Kipahulu to Hama, dis
lance of nine miles. and then the
ship could not be kept upon her resu-
ular course. Captain Cameron says
he never saw such weather. All day
Saturday it blew lively gale, and
coming across the channel that night,
although the Claudine is in the best of
trim, she could average but seven and
one-fourth knots.
