meet them. The Maru sailed from
Eongkong on February and left Yo-
kohama on the 18th. She brought SS3
tons of Oriental merchandise for this
port and five Chinese and six japanese
lin the steerage. She sails for San

The Fate of the TopgslIant.
The fate of the bark Topgaliant the
vessel which arrived here two or three
/ yet undecided. Almost as soon as the
bark arrived in this port the captain
got rid of his crew of Filipinos and
others which he shipped in Manila. He
was very glad to let them go. They
were absolutely no good as sailors, ex-
cept one or two, and how Captain Lun-
valdt ever managed to bring his vessel
to port through the weather which was
experienced, with such a crew. is a
wonder to all on the waterfront.
| The Topgallant is now deserted eX
| cept for the captain and his wife and
a visitor and the cook. customs in
| spector was at first stationed aboard
the bark and it was anything but an
! entertaining watch which he had to
stand. He got very lonely watching
nothing and, lately, after an examina-
| ton had been made of the vessel and
nothing dutiable was found aboard her,
| the customs inspector was withdrawn.
Captain Lunvaldt does not know
whether he will have a ship or not
when he leaves this port. He will no.
/ tify the owners of the bark of the con-
dtion of his vessel by the first mail
He is of the opinion that it will cost
about $4,000 to put her in seaworthy
condition.
| Captain Lunvaldt wants a private
commission to pass upon the condition
| of the vessel and determine as to the
nature of the repairs necessary before
she will be in proper shape. He pro
poses that Captains Ward, Fuller an6
Sorensen compose the commission
Then, after they have approved of tbs
Irepairs, providing the owners are will
ing, the vessel will be put in a condi
ton for sea. A board of inquiry vii
be instituted to pass upon the sea
worthiness of the bark and if their de
cision is favorable she will leave port
But should the owners decide not t
tspend the money necessary to refit thu
vessel she will probably be sold in thi
port.
Captain LunValdt called for an in
lsr,ection of his vessel by the Fedora
inspectors now here He stated in hi

board of survey appointed by the un
derwriters to pass upon the vessel ha
condemned her. 1t is said that
would cost between $4,000 and $4,000
to put her in a seaworthy condition.
