Bennington Here Again.

Just at shutdown on Saturday the
United States gunboat Bennington low
cred her flag, and anchored in Naval
Row after a voyage of fourteen days
from Yokohama. The handsome war
vessel, which saw considerable service
in the Philippines, and has often been
in Honolulu harbor, is homeward
bound and upon arrival at Mare Island
will go out of commission. She is the
last of the Asiatic squadron to return
home, as the other vessels destined for
home ports will be sent via Suez canal.
The gunboat will coal here and leave for
San Francisco next Wednesday. She
carries 154 jackies and marines whose
terms of enlistment are about expired,
while the officers have concluded their
Asiatic service. The officers are: Com

the gunboat Bennington, which was
about to enter the harbor. The little
vessel seemed not to answer her helm
and drifted into dangerous proximity
of both vessels. 1t is said that she is
very foul, and this together with her
general crankiness, seems to have sent

An Amusing Incident.

AS the transport Thomas was NOV
ing out of her slip into the narbor yes
terday the last man on shore. came
running down the dock. The only con-
nection between the vessel and the
dock was the bow hawser. Nothing
daunted the steward. who was provid-
ed with good sized jag, took hold
of the hemp and began working his
way upward. Half way up he gave out
and chung to the swaying rope In this
position a black object dropped from
his hip pocket Some thought It was
his pocketbook, and expressed regret
that it had gone to the bottom of the
harbor. Others with keener eyesight
saw that it was a bottle filled with
liquor Some of the sailors saw the
mans predicament and threw a small
line with a moose in the end. The
steward calmly inserted one arm and
then the other into it. pulled 1t down
to his waist and let go. He swung
against the side of the vessel and suf-
fered himself to be drawn to the deck.
Spectators on the dock laughed heartily
over the incident, but the principal
took the situation solemnly.
