One hundred and seventy three days
from Hamburg and one hundred and
fifty-two days from Falmouth, the
German bark Solide arrived in port
yesterday morning with twelve hum
dred tons of freight on which she will
have to pay American tariffs She has
been expected for the last fifty days but
experienced exceedingly bad weather
and was not properly loaded at Ham
burg.
She is the vessel whose agents here.
during the few days preceding June
18th, Admission day, were most anxious
that she should make port in time to
enter under the Republic of Hawaii
A large sum. thousands of dollars, was
offered on the last day to the steamship
which might be lucky enough to sight
her off the Islands and tow her into
port before midnight of the 18th.
The Solide had three hundred tons of
bricks in her lower hold on leaving
Hamburg and this proved too much be-
low. She became unmanageable during
rough weather in the North Sea and
Captain Schumacher put into Falmouth
to adjust her cargo, it was five months
ago that the Solide left Falmouth.
Head winds and bad weather are the
causes of delay since then. Terrible
storms were met with off the Horn
She comes consigned to II. Hackfeld &
Company.
