Francisco she will probably go to New
castle. The Holliswood only takes 100
TONS of rock ballast on her voyage to
the Coast. She can sail with as little
ballast as almost any vessel afioat, in
fact she can sail without any ballast at
all if she sees fit, being constructed in
such a way that she needs little or no
stiffening. Captain E. NJ. knight, his
wife and his daughter, Mrs. Robinson.
are sorry to sail away SO soon. The J.
B. Brown with young Captain and Mrs.
knight aboard does not sail for a week
or ten days yet. The family will in all
probability be reunited in Newcastle
before very long, however, as the ship
J. B. Brown sails from here in ballast
for the Sound, thence to Newcastle
again.

and she enjoyed it exceedingly, expe-
riencing no i'll effects from the trip.
