sea In tow OF the Fearless.
There were no arrivals yesterday ex-
cept the bark W 3. Flint from San
Francisco. The vessel came down in
nineteen days and experienced the
same weather the ROsamOnd did. She
has a large general cargo for Alex
ander < Baldwin, and will be hurried
away as soon as possible. The Rosa
mond which arrived on Thursday is
nearly discharged and by tonight will
be almost ready to take sugar. On
account Of the great quantity OF sugar
now here all dispatch is being given
the vessels arriving so as 10 have the
sugar kept moving. Captain Ward of
the Rosamond is after the record
made recently by the schooner Aloha.
in discharging and loading and getting
away all within week of arrival.
There were four gangs OF men at
work on the Rosamond yesterday The
vessel was working her three matches
and a force OF men was at work on
her deck-load OF brick and railroad
ties. Her gasoline hoist and donkey
engine and a borrowed engine were
kept humming from early morning un-
I'll late at night, and her cargo came
out OF her SO fast that one could al
most see her come up out OF the
water as her load was lessened. While
the ROsamond's cargo was coming out
yesterday the steamer kaiulani was
at the other side of the Irmgard
wharf piliug five thousand bags of
sugar there for the schooner to take
as soon as her after hold is out This
will be some time this morning and
before her fore and middle matches
are through discharging she will be
taking sugar into her after hold
There will be a great rush to get the
ships arriving away in haste as the
way sugar is piling in from the other
islands ali the warehouses and wharfs
will soon be swamped. AT the Rail-
road wharf there are nearly seven
thousand tons OF sugar waiting the
arrival of the Hawaiian, and all the
other places will be full by Sunday
when the regular fleet Of island steam
ers arrives. At the present time there
are only the ". b. Flint and Rosamond
available to load. The Alice Cooke
completed her cargo yesterday and
viii sail today for San Francisco
The brisk trades Of the last few days
should drive quite a feet of vessels
into port in the next few days and
the harbor which last night was COM
paratiyely deserted will by this time
next week be full of vessels unless
the winds shifts which is hardly like
ly. OF the vessels now due here the
bark Nuuanu is the longest out. She
is l4f days from New York. From
Sydney the schooner W. H. Smith is
now 30 days on the voyage while from
Newcastle the Louisiana. VIM. Bow
den. Battle Abbey and Paramita are
all over fifty days on their journeys.
The Charles +. Moody from Tacoma
should be here in a day or two and
from San Francisco and the North
coast there are due the G. W. Watson,
5. c. Allen. lrmgard, ,4Mauna Ala. Rob
ert Levers. Skagit. c. II. Marchant
and Laura Pike. Ali Of the above yes
sells have been on the way for more
than sixteen days. and the Laura Pike
from Coos Bay has been out thirty
three days.
OF the twelve vessels in port last
night there were but three which
were paying anything 10 the Terri
tory for wharfage. These were the
Alice Cooke. the ". B. Flint. and the
RosamDnd. The others are all at the
Railroad wharf and the Navy wharf.
The wharfage of course for the use
Of these wharts goes TO the Railroad
and Navy Department Until these
new wharfs were built vessels were os

yesterday that for the high rate OF
wharfage charged much better accom-.

Brewers wharf especially is there
good ground for complaint. There a
vessel is kept longer TO discharge
than at any OF the otner wharfs and
all because OF its condition. Part of
the wharf is Of wood and part Of esrth.
