bark Bounding Billow, built in 1854 at Chelsea, Mass., the barkentine Leslie D, ex the bark Emma F. Herriman. built in 1861 at Searsport, Maine, and the barkentine Jane A. Falkinburg, built in 1854 at New Bedford, Mass. The Mermaid is on the berth for Kotzebue sound, and Captain R. D. Wicks says she is still a thoroughly stanch vessel in spite of her age. He made a whaling cruise in her four years ago and says that the trip was as comfortable one as he ever made. "If anybody thinks there is a rotten timber in the Mer- maid" said Captain Wicks yesterday, let him come around and point it out to me and I will consider he has done me a favor. Everything has now been cleared out of the vessel and there is good chance to make a thorough exam ination. The underwriters are going to make an examination of her in a few days in order to fix the rate of insur- ance, and l am sure that they also will only be too glad to hear of any defects in the hull. The Mermaid is owned by the Narragansett and Alaska Mining and Trading Company, which is incor- porated under the laws of Rhode Island, and many of the passengers who will go to the gold fields in her have come out here from Rhode Island to join her.
 The Bounding Billow was built for the fruit trade, and after her days of usefulness in that line had ended she was turned into a Whaler. Just before the firm of Wright, Bowne & Go. failed over $5000 was spent in putting the old bark in state of thorough repair. In- stead of going to the Arctic, however, she went into retirement in Oakland Creek and remained there till the rush to the gold fields began. Her hull is said to be perfectly sound, but her top sides will have to be recalked before she can go to sea.
 The old bark Emma F. Herriman, now the barkentine Leslie D, was built for the Brazilian sugar trade. The raw sugar played havoc with her tim bers and she was turned into a Whaler as a last resort. She made her last whaling cruise about three years ago, and then under the name of the Leslie D she went codfishing. Later she was put into the lumber trade, but was very nearly wrecked while on her way to Puget Sound from San Francisco She was water-logged and was lowed to Port Townsend in a very bat tered condition. She was afterward repaired and came to San Francisco where, soon after her arrival, she was put on the berth for Kotzebue Sound.
 The barkentine Jane A. Falkinburg, in spite of her age is well preserved vessel. She has been built up several times and has been we'll taken care of. She is now at Mission-street wharf having a deckhouse built on her and in other ways getting ready for a trip to the gold fields.
 Another old timer came out of retire ment yesterday in the shape of the brig Tanner She was built at Smithtown. N. Y, in 1855 and has been almost con- stantly in commission ever since. Of late she has been laid up in Oakland Creek but has been hauled off the mud in order to be put into the Klondike trade.

THE PRESIDENT.
Alaska Passengers Accuse the Cap- tain of Breach of Contract and
 Ask Damages for Same.

The case of Benjamin F. Gray, Herbert Kendall. Anderson w. Meadows, Angus tus C. Cabel, Henry Peters, Ernest Nuess- Ter, Mrs. Inga Nuessler and Anthony Paul against the steamer President, came up for trial yesterday in the United States District Court before Judge de Haven. The plaintiffs sue for damages in the sum of S2000 each for breach of contract. They allege that they paid the. captain of the steamer $15 each and helped him dis charge his cargo at St. Michael in con sideration of his taking them to Unalaklik where they intended to engage in mining
 The complaint alleges that the captain refused to land them at Unalaklik, but proceeded to San Francisco, alleging as reason for his breach of contract that he was afraid his vessel would be frozen in.
 Several witnesses testified that the cap tain, C. Nelson, was drunk most of the time and damned the passengers most heartily, besides giving them miserable accommodations and food that was far from inviting. The taking of testimony will be resumed this morning.
