A Splendid Vessel.
An eastern exchange has the follow

built for the Island trade by the
Sewall's of Bath, Me, which arrived in
New York on January goth.
Few prettier vessels than the Kaiu-
lani have ever left the Kennebec. The
graceful lines of her hull and her tall
and heavy spars make in all most
perfect marine picture. Her masts are
nearly as tall as the Sewall's ships al

solid brass car trimmings her cabin
resembles that of regular ocean lin

convenience. They can accommodate
sixteen passengers. AS the average
fare from San Francisco to Honolulu

for a greater share of glory in saving
the Mokolii than has been accorded
her The Kauai had tried for several
hours to get the Mokolii off the reef,
but was unsuccessful. She had three
lines on the stranded vessel. Then the
Lehua came up and ran a line to the
