work On the Logan has been greatly de-
layed and a special arrangement was
made with the Navy Department to have

weeks.
harbor the bark c. D. Bryant, will
sail today for San Francisco in
ballast. The vessel was unfortunate
while lying at Brewers wharf to have
her cargo partially destroyed by fire, due
primarily to the carelessness of the
crew. Since then members of her crew
have been sent to prison for failure to
put out the fire, and the vessel itself
was libelled by consignees who did not
receive their goods. The libel suits were
dismissed in the United States court and
the captain permitted to leave the port.
Quickstep Reaches Tacoma.
The barkentine Quickstep arrived in
Tacoma on August 10. ending voyage of
seventy-five days from Salinas Cruz,
Mexico, by way of Honolulu, where she
was compelled to put in for provisions
After leaving Salinas Cruz the Quickstep
was becalmed for thirty days, during
which provisions became short. A good
breeze finally struck her. and Captain
Gruener headed for Honolulu, which he
made in eighteen days. The voyage to
Cape Flattery was made thence in twen-
ty-five days. AS a result of the long
time spent In hot southern waters the
Quickstep's bottom is covered with bar
nacles from her scuppers down. This
impeded her progress to such an extent
that 1t took the tug Magic twenty-six
hours to tow her from Cape Flattery to
Port Townsend. Even with this slow
sailing she made the voyage from Ho-
nolulu quicker than the bark Alexander
Mcneil and the ship j. G. Potter, which
sailed with her.
Captain Gruener had decided to beach
the Quickstep at Old Tacoma to have her
bottom cleaned and painted. He was
ordered by wire, however, to take his
vessel to San Francisco, where she will
be placed on a drydock. She viii take a
load of lumber on the voyage south
Tacoma Elk.
Cold Storage on Sailing Ships.
The ship Falls of Clyde and the steam
er ENTERPRISE, when the latter vessel re-
turns to San Francisco from the Ha-
waiian Islands, will both be fitted with
cold storage plants like that recently put
on the bark Roderick Dhu. The trips
taken by the Roderick Dhu under the
new ARRANGEMENT have demonstrated the
value of a cold storage plant, even in a
sailing vessel and other ships of the
brown line are to be similarly
equipped.
