SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a leak
in the iron side of the new American
ship Arthur Sewall, through the
dropping of a rivet is causing the
owners some concern, though the ship
has never been in any danger from it.
Yesterday morning a diver was sent
down to find it and stop it up. Ac-
cording to the mate of the Sewall, who
was reluctant to admit that a diver
had been employed for that purpose,
the hole is not big enough to admit a
quart of water during a voyage. The
Arthur Sewall is beautiful vessel and
the largest ship that ever. entered this
port. Among her improved appliances
are stationary upper topsails accord
| ing to the pattern invented by her
| master, Captain Murphy. These re-
quire no reefs, halyards, ties, blocks OF
| shears. On a ship like the Sewall they
mean a saving, it is said, or 81 600 a
year in wear and tear.
