The British sloop shearws.er.

The small British sloop Shearwater's
trip from Esquimalt to this port was
an exceedingly good one, considering
that in twelve days, for all purposes,
she only used seventy-nine tons of
coal. Sail was her motive power for
most of the trip, and the coal pile was
thus economical on. The Shearwater
will probably leave this port on De-
cember IL for Kealakekua Bay, where
the officers will visit Captain Cook s
monument and make any repairs that
may be necessary. The sloop's next
stop will be at Tanning Island, and her
cruise after that will be to most of the
