the China. from the Orient. arrived
yesterday. The Allen had a very rough
trip and for thirteen days Was 10 the
southwesterly weather encountered by
steamers lately arrived here. The barb
had a lot Of live stock on deck and the
horse boxes were kept clean for sever
al days by the water which washed
over the vessel. Two mules died on
the way down and the hair on the
tails Of all the animals Is worn OF by
the constant rubbing against the rear
Of the stalls. Yesterday the Claudine
was spoken by the Allen. The steam
er's captain told Captain johnson that
as he was running short OF coal be was
going back 20 Hama TO coal and get
further orders. Although a careful

The China arrived shortly after the
Meade She made her usual run from
Yokohama but was detained thir.y-six
hours at that port on account Of quar-
artine regulations. Two cases Of
smallpox were discovered among her
steerage passengers, and as a result she
was put through a thorough fumiga-
ton. She had but two passengers for
this port and the Oriental mail. She
remained outside long enough to land
and mail and take the mail
for the Coast. While waiting for the
mail the China's passengers were wit
nesses Of what might have been a IA
tai accident. George Fearne Of the
Wilder Company and two companions
started out to sail around the big
steamers outside in a small boat. There
was quite aSwind blowing. and. when
near the China. a sudden pun over
turned the little boat and the three
occupants were thrown out into the
water. Seeing the pilikia OF the men
" no were trying 20 right their boat
cred and went 10 their assistance. The
boat was manned and in the water
within six minutes after the little sail
ing boat capsized. The three men were
soon aboard the China's boat and their
boat taken alongside of the big steam
ct and bailed out. The men who had
been in the water then rowed back to
shore none the worse for their ducking
Bark Kaiulani Damaged.
The new steel bark Kaiulani. built
by Arthur Sewall & Co. of Bath. Ne.
for Williams, Dimond & Co. has met
with a mishap early in her career. She
sailed from New York February 2Oth
on her maiden voyage. She was bound
for San Francisco, where she was 20
load for Honolulu The Merchants
Exchange at San Francisco received a
dispatch on March 10Th stating that on
March the Kaiuiani was spoken with
her fore and main topgallant masts
gone and otherwise damaged. She was
then returning TO New York for re-
pairs. u is surmised that she received
other damage in the storm in which she
was partially dismasted. The Kaiula-
nj is the first Of a fleet OF steel vessels
now building in the East for the sugar
trade. They are to run in conjunction
with the new steamers now building
for Williams, Dimond & Co. and all
OF them were expected on the Coast
during the year.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
18th inst. says: The Mail steamer City
Of Peking sailed for the Orient yester-
day. She carried a fair number Of pas
sengers and was loaded 10 Ghe guards
with freight. Quite a number OF fair
maidens from the Grand Opera House
were down 10 see the big liner sail.
