The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1900-12-10

conditions existing for many weeks
previous, vessels have been coming in
to this harbor in punches of three,
four and five. Yesterday was not be-
hind in keeping up the good record
recently begun; three vessels were
brought into the harbor.
| The four-masted schooner Rosamond
was towed into port by the tug Fear
less early in the day and docked at
| the Pacific Mail wharf, where she dis
charged her live stock. She will move
| from this wharf this morning to make
room for the steamship Aztec, which is
expected from San Francisco.
The RosamOnd sailed from San
Francisco on the 18th of November,
and experienced nothing but light and
variable winds all the way down.
| Captain Ward is her commander. The
schooner brought 1000 tons of general
merchandise, including a quantity of
bricks on her deck. Her live stock
included 1 horse, Z mules, "a sheep and
$50 hogs. She was very fortunate as
far as her hogs were concerned, only
losing two of the animals during the
voyage. Other vessels which have
brought hogs down from the Coast re-
Gently, have lost large numbers on ac-
count of hog cholera and the knocking
around which the poor brutes received
on the decks of the vessels, occasioned
by rolling.
