THE THOMSON RETURNS.
Seattle Packet Gets Back With Meats
and Beer.

The Elihu Thompson arrived this
morning on her second trip in the
Seattle Honolulu line. Her cold storage
was all taken up, although she could
have brought little more other freight
The reason of the failure to bring full
cargo was the uncertainty about her
getting back, the deal respecting her
not having been completed at the time
she sailed from Honolulu. AS before,
she comes consigned to the Metropoli-
tan Meat Company.
Her principal cold storage consisted
of meats and beer. About sixty tons
of beef, mutton and pork came for the
Metropolitan Meat Company. This will
be enough to last until the next big
steamer from San Francisco. A big
lot of draught and bottled beer ar
rived for Col. Mccarthy, Lovejoy &
Company and l.. H. Dee. The cargo is
being discharged this afternoon.
1t is still the intention to keep up
the Seattle line. For the present the
Thompson will be utilized, but will be
changed as soon as possible for some
thing larger.

LEFT AHEAD OF TIME.

The Hong Kong Maru cleared half
an hour earlier than was expected this
afternoon and left at 1:30 o'clock. The
vessel had been scheduled to sail at
2 p. m. but by 1870 it was found she
could clear so Captain Filmer lost no
time in getting under way. The change
of sailing caused considerable disap-
pointment to late letter posters and
fully a dozen people with letters in
their hands gazed disconsolately at
the disappearing boat.
