In Typhoon.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 27.-The bark !
Mauna Ala, Captain Smith. with Il
cargo of salt from Honolulu, locked !
yesterday at the Pacific street wharf. |
The vessel was nineteen days on the !
trip from the Islands, and made a
quick round trip from this port. On
the way down the Mauna Ala was in
the edge of a terrific typhoon, and
for twelve hours the bark was on the
starboard tack under lower topsails and
foresail. 1t was not Captain Smiths
first experience with a great storm, for
he was in the same vessel. then known
as the PAX Wan, in the hurricane that
destroyed several men of war in the
harbor of Apia, Samoa, in 1889. and he
had to put into Tahiti. instead OF Ho-
noIuIu, his destination.

The American ship S. D. Carleton,

ne of the staunchest ships on the Pa
ific Coast. She is supposed to have !,
rcountered the contrary winds met by .
everal vessels of the San Francisco T
oal feet which left Tacoma about the :,
ime the Carleton did. On her last a
oyage from Tacoma the Carleton was :,
ut fourteen days out to the Islands. O.
