Saturday morning at about 4 O'Clock
the Oceanic steamship Mariposa was
sighted at Koko Head. She laid up to
the Oceanic wharf at about s o'clock,
bringing a number of passengers and
quite bit of freight
The Mariposa had very uneventful
trip down. She was delayed for sew
eral hours in San Francisco, as she had
not been able to finish the discharging
of her sugar in time. Going out from
San Francisco she encountered heavy
fogs. which delayed her still more. She
also had some trouble with her stokers
most Of them were green hands and for
the first two days they were too seasick
to keep steam up by themselves, so the
sailors had to take a hand. After a
little while, however, the stokers be-
came used to the sea and the work went
on all right. The weather also Gained
after the first two days, which had been
very rough, and this gave splendid
finish of the trip for all the Seasick
people, both passengers and tiremen.
The Mariposa left San Francisco at
9:53 p m on the 21st arriving at Ho-
nOlulu at 5:07 .. m. on the 2Sth, thus
making the voyage in little more than
six days. seven hours and fourteen

Nippon Maru's Fish Story.

Officers of the steamer Nippon Maru
tell of a great battle between a whale
and a thrasher that took place near
the Farallone Islands Thursday morn
ing, and was witnessed by nearly ev-
erybody on the steamer from a dis
tance If a quarter of a mile. The first
intimatiton that a fight was in prog |
ress was when a whale shot up out
of the depths off the starbOard quart
ter, going clear OF the water by api
parently eight feet and making d
great splash as she sank out of sight,
Immediately there was a great cOmmol
ton, and the tail of the thrasher could
be distinctly seen as it rained terrific
blows upon the whales body.
OF to the south a short distance
there were signs of two smaller
whales, supposed to be calves that had
|. been separated from their mother by
the onslaught of the swiftly moving
thrasher Since a swordfish commonly
has part in the attack of a whale

Miowera Comes and Goes.

The Miowera arrived yesterday morn
ing and came up to the dock at about
$50 in the morning Quite number cl
passengers We're on board and also d
very heavy freight for the Colonies.
The ship listed considerably when she
arrived here on account Of the fact that
she had been using coal from one side
only in order to facilitate the loading Of
fresh coal in this port.
Notwithstanding the fact that both
the agents of the line and the custom
house officials had telephoned TO the
local Inspector of immigration early n
the morning as soon as the steamer was
sighted, this official did not see fit to
arrive before more than an hour had
passed after the docking of the vessel.
His non arrival kept many people, who
had business with the steamer, waiting
for more than an hour on the hot docs
and also delayed the loading of coal
etc. n the meantime the only thing
of interest was lively dog fight
Apropos of the inspector a new proverb
is rapidly gaining popularity along the
front The inspector doesn't care If
night 4school keeps or not" All things
must have an end, however, and finally
he arrived.
The Miawera a. nor stay very lo7s

8 p. m. and she left on time.

identified as Silver Queen, resumed its
fight as though quite refreshed, says
an eastern exchange.
Three weeks more passed, and as no
further news of any of the five birds
was received they were given up as
lost. But on September Albert Greb,
of Pittsburgh, the owner of Silver
Queen, while in his loft early in the
morning was astonished by seeing his
bird perch upon the window sill. She
had thus accomplished a fight Of
LOO miles within period of 30 days,
during which she passed through many
severe storms of hail, rain and wind,
in a magnifcently successful effort to
reach her home and mate.
Taking in consideration the age Of
this bird-2b years-the great dis
tance covered and the severity of the
weather she encountered, Silver
Queens 1,7OO-mile fight from Denver
to Pittsburgh is regarded as one of
the most successful of any homing
club in the country.
Moreover, Silver Queen, two weeks
before she was sent to Denver, had
made a 7OO-mile fight from Jefferson
City, Mo-, to Pittsburgh. And she was
the only one of the five birds liberated
at Denver which survived the trying
ordeal of weather and distance. The
owner will never again permit her to
be put in the basket.
