KAIULANI RETURNED TO PORT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The new
American steel bark Kaiulani had to
return to port yesterday, being top
heavy. She came her from New York
and loaded for Honolulu, but unfortun-
ately the heavy part of her cargo came
last and lot of bricks and railroad
iron had to be put on deck.
When the Kaiulani got under way all
seemed well and the dozen or more pas
sengers anticipated a fast run. Out
side there was a good steady breeze
blowing and sail was made on the bark
lquickly. When the upper topsails were
set Captain Dabel began to have fears
and when the royals We're spread to
the breeze he at once ordered them
taken in again. Then the bark was
reduced to lower topsails and course
lsteered for San Francisco. The Kaiu
lani was undoubtedly topheavy and
Captain Dabel did his duty to all hands
by coming back. About ! p. m. a tug
came along and towed the bark back
to port. Her deck load of bricks and
iron will be discharged and she will
go to sea again probably today

| The Thomas is behind time. She
sailed from Nagasaki on November 10
and should have been here last We'd
nesday. The chances are she has run
into some heavy weather and is coming
along under a slow bell.
