Hyades Arrives at Frisco.

First of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company's vessels to arrive
at San Francisco from New York
with cargo of freight, is the Hyades.
which reached that port on December
q. after a passage of seventy-three
days. The steamer is not owned by
the company, but was chartered from
the Tweedie Trading Company In New
York to bring out a cargo OF freight
that had accumulated before the COM
pany's first vessel, the American, could
be completed and made ready for the
trip. The. American will arrive from
New York this month. After discharg-
ing her cargo of 1000 tons of general
merchandise, the Hyades will remain
on the Coast and engage in the coal
trade between San Francisco and, Seat
! tle The vessel is nearly new, the
present trip from New York being the
seventh ever made by the Hyades.
| The Hyades sailed from New York
| on October 18th, from ST. Lucia on Oc-
tober 23d, and from Coronel on Decem-
| Der 3d. Pleasant weather was eXpe-
| rienced throughout the trip, except Tor
| a short time after passing through the
| Straits of Magellan, when rough sea
| was encountered off Cape Pillar and
the steamer was hove to. Twice the
steamer anchored for the night in the
! straits. but on neither occasion was the
/ vessel molested by the natives. An
old Indian and his family came aboard
in the straits, but the treachery that
1 has been credited to the natives or
that region was not apparent in their
| actions At Coronel. however, the
trough element which inhabits the place
attempted to foment trouble on board
the Hyades while the vessel was coal
ing. but the watchfulnesS of the chief
officer prevented an outbreak.
The Hyades was in the center OF the
\ L tom a
but. on account of being 100 miles off
shore, was not completely wrecked.
The steamer Roma, which had but a
few hours before taken her berth at
Galveston, was driven four miles in
land. and is still high and dry. The
Hyades was overwhelmed by the hur-
: ricane, however, her stern was six
inches below water when the hurricane
passed For six hours the barometer
; recorded % 10, which was so remarka-
} BILE that the Weather Bureau made g
| note of it in it's report.

Francisco on the Mariposa yesterday
on account of the 1ady's illness.
The America Maru is one OF the
finest of the vessels which plow the
Pacific Ocean. She arrived off port on
Friday night, from San Francisco, and
was met by the Advertisers chartered
launch, but, owing to the regulations
which forbid the boarding of d vessel,
or even the passage of a newspaper
over the side before the doctor had
passed her, the public was compelled
to wait fifteen or sixteen hours before
the news of the outer world was gwen
through the press. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Maru was just half
hour too late. to enter port on Friday
night The doctor is not supposed to
go out to vessels after o'clock in the
evening. and the Maru was sighted at
| $50 p. m.
| The steamer brought three days
later news. The trip from the Coast
was a pleasant one, and things were
very enjoyable aboard. Holiday festivi-
| ties characterized the passage, and a
magnificent Christmas tree ornamented
! On the 18th of this month there is
| to be fancy dress ball on board. The
Maru sailed from the Pacific Mail
wharf on Saturday afternoon at 5
o'clock for China and Japan.

married, was, on Saturday last, at the
| hour of 5, made to blush and smile and
look handSomer than ever, by the pre-
Sentation of a handsome and very ap-
propriate wedding present from his
former fellow inspectors on the Gus
toms force.
| 1t was great occasion, and Inspec-
tor George Keister made reputation
as an orator when he delivered the
presentation address.
The present was a magnificent set OF
carvers, and old Tommy-s eyes swan
with emotion when they saw the gift
which was manifested by all the mem
berS of the force towards himself.
Keisters address was eloquent and
. to the point, and the response which
!, was made by the recipient of the hand
some gift was full of appreciation an6
brotherly sentiment.
The boys of the department, the in
spectors, were at a loss for some TIM
what to give Tommy for weddins

decided upon set of carvers, and it il
