Yesterday one Of the vessels Of the
Iong-deIayed feet from the coast put
in appearance at last 1t was the bar
kentine S. G. Wilder. which came from
San Francisco after a passage Of TWEEN
ty days. which is doing well. as the
length Of passage of many of the YES
sells now on their way to this port from
the coast already much exceeds this:
AS it is, every one on board the S. G.
Wilder is rather surprised that the
vessel was able to make the trip in so
short time. as she has been butting
against adverse winds and rough
weather during almost the entire pass
age. After leaving San Francisco the
Wilder encountered southwesterly
winds for the first eight days out. At
ter this followed four days of north
easterly and easterly winds which was
the only favorable weather the Wilder
had during the whole trip.
During the rest of the voyage ad
verse winds were again encountered
and about six days before she reached
this port the Wilder had to weather a
gale. 1t started with a west-south
westerly wind, which later hauled
around to the northwest. 1t was ac-
companied by heavy rains and very
stormy seas, which swept the decks.
Luckily the deckload was composed If
bricks and other heavy stuff so that
nothing was washed away. Two stay
sails were lost, however, before the
storm was over. After this the Wilder
was in sight of these islands for about
four days before she was able to make
this port on account of the contrary
winds. When she arrived off Diamond
Head the officers did not believe that
any tug would venture out on account
of the roughness of the weather and
they were much relieved by seeing the
Fearless coming. The Fearless had a
very hard job in getting a hawser on
board and Captain Brokaw's skillful
maneuvering. as we'll as the splendid
work Of the tug. is much praised by
the officers Of the Wilder.
The Wilder was taken 10 the Irngard
wharf. where she will lie until the FUN
igating operations on the Brewer
wharf have been completed, after which
she will go over TO that wharf to
discharge her cargo. She carries about
1000 tons OF general merchandise in her
hold and a deckload of $4,000 bricks r
and some building stone. In her cargo
there is quite a bit of material for the
Young building. OF which fifty tons OF
stone are in her hold and forty tons on
deck. There are three passengers on
board the Wilder. They are Miss WIKI
strom. Mrs. Morris and her daughter.
They all came from Vallejo and are
down here on a pleasure trip.
During her voyage the Wilder sighted
two four-masted schooners and one
barkentine The first vessel was seen
when the Wilder was about six days
out. 1t was a four-masted schooner
and from her rigging and general ap-
pearance the Wnder's crew think it
was the Murlel which is due at this
port from Gray's Harbor. The other
ter, but at such a distance that their
identity could not be made out.
Pipe Line for Railway wharves.
a gang of men are busy at present
along the shorter of the Railroad
wharves, laying a pipe line which is
to supply the vessels which come up
to this wharf with fresh water. The
from the machine shops of the o. r. 6,
L. Co, where there is an artesian WELL
and leads past the weighing scales
down along the wharf 1t is expected
that this line will be completed by the
beginning of next week. The long
Railroad wharf. where the American
Hawaiian Steamship COmpany's sheds
are situated, will also be supplied with
a pipe line, which will be a great con-
venience as il saves the vessels from
packing water from a distance, as has
heretofore been done. AS the water
has a strong head, ii is thought that
the pipe connections Will prove valua-
BILE in case of fire.
There are quite a number of vessels
lying at the shorter wharf at present.
The Reuce is unloading her cargo of
coal. and it will probably take several
weeks before she is through. The
Eviston was fumigated yesterday, and
will probably sail for the Sound short
". The Olympic is taking on board
a load Of sugar, and the Kaiulani is
doing the same. The latter vessel has ,
the best part of her cargo on board
now The Archer is also waiting for :
sugar, but has received nothing as yet. !
She will probably begin loading at the
beginning of next week.
The Inter-Island steamers Iwalani.
Ke Au Hou and Waialeale all came
over to the longer wharf. where they
were subjected to a thorough fumiga-
ton.
1t is expected that business viii soon
be booming again along the WharVes,
as the plantations on the railroad line ,
are to begin grinding soon. The rail-
road people expect that the first loads
of sugar viii be coming from Eva and
Honolulu plantations today.
