Four Steamers Leave--The Surveyors
Appointed--C WooIey--
The lnyerness-shire.

EOuI ISIdHu sledIHeIS leIl yesterday
in bunch taking large cargoes of
freight and but few passengers. The
Mauna Loa left on her regular run after
having been laid up for close upon six
weeks. The Hall, which arrived from
Kauai with sugar, was alongside the
Australia unloading until after dark,
and the steamer for San Francisco was
quite late in getting away. The Car
lysle City from the Orient, with immi-
grants, arrived yesterday, as did the
lnverness-shire. The schooner Sur
prise was busy during the afternoon
towing boat loads of the Carlysle Citys
Japs from the steamer lying outside to
the quarantine station. The Northern
Light in ballast and the Mary Dodge
with sugar got away for San Francisco
during the day. The Helene with sugar
and cattle from Hawaii and the J. A.
Cummins with rice from Oahu ports
came in.
The Inverness-shire.
The British ship Inverness-shire ar
rived and anchored outside yesterday
after being away six days from this
port. The story of the drifting of the
vessel was as given in the Advertiser
some time since, after the return of
Pilot Sanders. Work on the anchors
was continued and the starboard an
Choir and chain Gated at O'Clock Sat
urday night. The attempt to save
the port anchor and chain was given
up on the day previous, and the an
Choir and los fathoms of chain were
slipped in the afternoon of Friday.
During the whole time the ship was
away she was within seventy miles of
this port.
The loss of the chain and anchor will
amount to several thousand dollars,
and the capstan, which was broken in
the attempt to heave in the port an
Choir, will have to be repaired here. 1t
will probably be a week or ten days
before the ship is ready to sail.
Harry Evans, who was aboard the
ship representing the Police Depart
ment, brought the crew ashore last
night on a warrant from the British
Consul The men are locked up in the
police station awaiting an investiga-
ton.
They were seen in the Jail last even
ing and make very strong complaint
against the skipper, Captain Peattie,
who is the commodore of Thomas Laws
& Co., the second largest firm of ship
owners in the world.
Captain Rennie, the stevedore, whose
men were taken out to the vessel when
she was in distress, is of the opinion
that if this were a British port, or, If
there was a British tnan-of-war here
the men of the crew who refused duty
would be most severely dealt with.
The Sebastian Bach.
Captain Wooley Of the bark Sebastian
Bach is now here for the first time il
twenty years. He was discussing thu
changes that he noticed today ans
seems greatly impressed with the pos
sibilities of Honolulu as a distributing
center. Speaking of the storm in whicl
his vessel recently received severe in
juries, he said it was the worst he ha
ever seen. The bark is very old and tn
captain states that one could almost sc
the planking working in and out. Hi
crew is Japanese and captain Woole
claims that they make very satisfactor
sailors. During the storm they did nc
seem in the least timid. He says tina
if you treat the Japs well they wor
well, but if you attempt to drive thel
there is bound to be trouble.
. British Consul Hoare has appointe
Captains Armstrong and Bremmer {
the Drummuir and Aspice respectivel
