GAIN AND CURRENT.

The schooner Waialua arrived this
morning from Hanalei, after having
been beCalmed in the Kauai channel
for three days. Captain Nelson says
that last Saturday afternoon, at 5
o'clock, he was within fourteen miles
Of Kaena Point. The wind died down
and next morning at 10 o'clock he
found that he had drifted until he was
off kilauea plantation. This showed
that there was a current of about six
knots an hour. The calm continued
until last night, when a strong north
east wind and swell sprang up.
The Waialua brought 600 bags of pad
dy and IA bundles of hides.
