The bark Andrew WEIGH and the bark
Mauna Ala arrived in this port yester
day morning from San Francisco. The
schooner ]. A. Campbell also arrived
from Port Blakeley.
The Andrew WEIGH left the Coast
twenty-six days ago. She had nothing
but light and variable winds all the
way down except when, couple of
nights ago, she encountered heavy
squalls, during which her rails were un-
der water part of the time.
The WEIGH started with 300 hogs on
her deck, but lost 215 of them, how
ever, from hog cholera. Besides the
hogs, twenty-six fine horses were
brought by the WEIGH.
Both the Andrew WEIGH and the
Mauna Ala were off Diamond Head at
sunrise yesterday. The tug Fearless
towed both vessels into the harbor, al
though there was an exciting race be-
tween the Eleu and the Spreckels' tug.
The Fearless had the start of the Eleu,
however, and, although the two banks
were some distance from each other
and the Eleu was making for the
WEIGH while the Fearless was going
for the other vessel, the Fearless sue
ceeded in making the Mauna Ala in
time to make arrangements with her
captain and then hurry to the WEIGH
and take her in. The Eleu had to re-
turn to port without a tow.
1t took the Mauna Ala just twenty
five days to make the trip from San
Francisco. There was something of a
very interesting race from the Coast
between the Andrew WEIGH, the Mauna
Ala and the S. c. Allen, the latter YES
sci arriving on Wednesday.
Captain Smith of the Mauna Ala took
his vessel through the Golden Gate on
the 18th of November, Captain Drew of
the Andrew WEIGH brought his boat
away on the 10th, one day sooner, while
Captain Johnson of the S. c. Allen left
with his bark on the 18th, the day on
which the Mauna Ala sailed.
The result was pretty close. The AL
len made the run in twenty-four days,
the Mauna Ala in twenty-five days and
the Andrew WEIGH in twenty-six days
Odd hours are not accounted for in the
above and, in all probability, Captains
Johnson, Drew and Smith can figure
the matter a great deal closer.
Captain Smith is commander of the
schooner j. A. Campbell, which arrived
fforty-nine days in making the pas
sage. She brought $4,000 feet of lum-
Der for Allen G. Robinson and expert
fenced rough weather shortly after she
left port.
| The bark Wallace 3. Flint, which
arrived from San Francisco on We'd
lnesday, has made the best time of any
vessel from the Coast for the last few
in nv
days.
Wilder's steamship Helene, whose ar
rival from Laysan Island on Wednes-
day night was reported exclusively in
yesterdays Advertiser, lay at Laysan
Island for period of twenty-four days,
being unable to do more than five days
steady work on account Of the heavy
weather which prevailed
Four times the steamer had to leave
her anchorage and make for the open
sea, going once far out of sight of
land.
When the Helene came into port she
had two huge turtles on her deck and
many other souvenirs of Laysan in the
way of eggs and birds and shells.
The Helene was three days in max
ing the trip to Laysan Island and
