The City of Picking is expected to ar
rive this afternoon from San Francisco,
en- route to the Orient with three days
later news and mail, having left the
Coast on the 18th instant, and bringing
Coast newspapers of the 9Th, 10th and
18th. The Alameda brought papers up
to and including the Sth.
Hospital ship Solace will probably ar
rive at Honolulu about the end of this
month. She was at Yokohama on the
5th, and expected to leave there about
the eth, on her way to Guam. She has
aboard the wounded soldiers from Taku
and the sick from the hospital in Yo-
kohama.
Yesterday morning the steamer
Noeau arrived from Kukuihaele with a
load of sugar. The report of Purser
Adams reads as follows: There were
5000 bags of sugar left at Honokaa and
5000 at Kukuihaele. There have been
good rains all over the Hamakua dis
trict. The buoy at Honokaa is reported
ashore at Paauhau. The bow buoy at
Kukuihaele went adrift Sunday morn
ing. The Noeau picked it up at II noon
the next day. There is an epidemic of
la grippe in the Hamakua district
Captain Searle, commanding the j. A.
Cummins, took his steamer to the
windward side of this Island yesterday,
and will bring back with him the little
hoodoo schooner Norma. The Norma is
aground and making good deal of wa
ter, but it is thought that the Cum
minis will be successful in getting her
off and bringing her back to Honolulu
AS long as the Norma's famous pump
| is in working order she will keep afloat
unless very badly damaged.
When the strike at Papaaloa was GO
| ing on the steamer Maui was there
| loading sugar. Captain Parker, hear
ing of the trouble, got together half OF
the steamers crew and marched to the
scene with what firearms We're found
, aboard. More arms were forthcoming
at the plantation, and the sailors Joined
forces with the plantation people. This
display of force had a good effect an6
probably prevented the strikers doing
anything desperate.
BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS.
NEW YORK, August &c. Thiele
| fourth officer of the American linel
Deutschland, blew out his brains during
the voyage on the big ocean greyhound
On the second day out it was Thiele'!
turn to watch on the bridge. The ali
made him drowsy and he fell asleep a
his post.
Captain Alberts came upon him, or
dered him to take off his coat the Ship
badge of office, and sent him to his cab
in The young sailor went down in dis
grace.
Five minutes after the door closed be
hind him shot was heard, and whel
it was forced open Thiele lay on tn,
floor with bullet in his brain.
SCHOONER IN TROUBLE.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-The Car
rier Dove from New York for Seattle
put in here in distress late Monda,
night. Her rudder was damaged an,
the vessel was leaking, so the captain
decided to make San Francisco. Thi
was all the more necessary as the crev
were almost down to starvation diet
For three weeks there had been nothin,
to eat but beans. There was no came,
goods, no bread, but luckily plenty O
water. Water and beans therefore
We're the staples on the Carrier Dow
for three weeks
Some of the men on the little schoon
er tell wild stories. A sea serpent swal
lowed half the log line in the straits O
Magellan, a witch doctor drove tn
shlps dog into spasms, the members O
the London Missionary Society in Pata
gonna nave turned pirates and are loot

mas mania for numbering the native
ana thousand nOtcheS on the barre
OF his gun, is the record of the numbe
OF natives murdered in cold blood
These and similar blood curdling storie
the sailors tell of their sojourn in tn
Land of fire.
The Carrier Dove was intended fo
service between Puget Sound ports. bu
1t is doubtful if she will ever reac
