MEMORANDA.

A large four masted schooner has
just been launched from Hall Brothers
shipyard at Port Blakely. The vessel
was built for Captain j. H. Bennett
Captain Harry Goodall, Captain Hum
phrey, Captain Jepsen and others of
that port, to engage in the Hawaiian
trade. She has already begun to load
lumber at the Sound for Hilo It is
estimated that she will reach the island
in time to get return cargo of sugar
The new vessel has been christened the
Lottie Bennett.
The lateness of the China yesterday
was due to care in the using of coal
Owing to the shortage of coal at this
port enough was taken at San Fran
cisco to last her to the end of hel
journey and slow time was made rather
than use more than was necessary be-
tween San Francisco and here.
News was received by the China OF
the death of Capt. Frederick A. Gard
ner, who was for many years in COM
mand of the Occidental and Oriental S
S. Doric. He died on the 18th of this
month, at his home in Berkeley, at the
age of fifty-seven.
The Russian steamer Dolney Vastok
which left here a short time ago to
take charter as a transport, arrived in
San Francisco on the 5th in distress
her machinery breaking down just out
side the harbOr. Her lateness will
probably cost her the charter.
The schooner Aloha arrived this
morning in command of Captain T.
Fry who has been her first mate for
many years. Captain Dabel. her former
master, has gone East to take charge OF
another vessel.

animals, to judge from the fossil re-
mains already found in many parts Of
Australia. Like nearly every mamma

devil is a marsupial, but with the soli-
tary exception of the SO called Tasma-
nian wolf he is the only surviving mar
supial animal that is carnivorous and
may be regarded as a. beast of prey.
The devil is now very scarce and will
soon be extinct. but in the early con-

plentiful, and many ghastly stories
were afioat of their attacks upon escaped
convicts who had taken to the bush.

them with almost superstitious fear.

BrutaIitieS Mt Sea,

In The Pail Mall Magazine w. Clark
Russell quotes the instructions given by
the Earl of Lindsay i'll 1875 to his cap
tains:
THE keynote is struck with the de-
votional spirit of the age. The chief in
command is to take care that all the
officers and companies of the ships
worship God twice day. Swearing,
drunkenness. robbery, sleeping on watch
and the like were to be punished ac-
cording to the order and custom of the
sea. Punishments were brutallv severe
in those times. They ymarooned-thatis is,
they set man ashore alone ON DESC
late coast or island and left him to
starve, to be destroyed by savages or
wild beasts.
They keel hauled-that is. they
dragged man naked by yard arm
whips under the bottom of a ship. and
drew him up raw and bloody with the
harsh wounding of barnacles and spike
like adheIences, only to be submerged
afresh ere the unhappy miscreant could
fetch a full breath. They nailed man
to the mainmast by driving knife
through his hand. For murder (that
was often manslaughter) they tied the
living to the dead, back to back. and
threw them overheard. -

the former empress of the French the
other night which shows in what direc-
tion her thoughts run. Whenever she
has occasion to write anything about
her lamented husband, she always uses
the diamond pen which signed the
treaty of Paris. All those who partici-
pated in this historical occasion wanted
the pen as a memento. But so keen was
the empress on possessing it that she
begged that only one pen should be
used, which she thought she had a
right to retain as a souvenir. This was
agreed to, The pen takes the form of a
