have become celebrated, especially on
the long voyage boats that 60 to India

various classes are quite commonly
eager to push their own favorite cat
into first place. OF course, there are
amazing favorites with the stan of the

port a certain man has the duty Of
feeding the cats atregular hours and

Oakland built barkentine Makaweli
which was launched in May of last year
Her dimensions are: Length, 1S5 feet;
depth of hold, II feet; beam, thirty
eight feet. The net registered tonnage
of this vessel is 500. A sister vessel to
the Koko Head, the Puako, is also COM
ing here with coal, on her maiden voy-
age from Newcastle.
! The schooner Alice Mcdonald, which
J is now out thirty-eight days from the
Australian coal port, has a hard luck
record. The last time she made a voy-
age from Newcastle was with cargo of
coal from San Francisco, and she re-
quired 210 days to make the voyage
from port to port. The Mcdonald left
Newcastle with more than 1000 tons of
coal on board. She had to put into
Samoa leaking, short of provisions, and
with her crew in a state of mutiny.
Two hundred tons of coal were dis
charged and disposed of, the vessel was
recalked, and the voyage resumed. Be
fore sail was made, however, the crew
vessel towed the schooner to Page Page, |
where she was held while a new crew
was being sent from San Francisco and
the mutineers of the old crew were
shipped to San Francisco for trial. She
required sixty-two days to make the
voyage from Page Page to San Fran
cisco.
The Koko Head, vessel we'll known
here, is also chartered to make the trip
with coal. She is a type of barkentine
very well known n the Pacific lumber
and coal trade, and one that has been
found to pay good dividends 70 her
owners.
All the vessels bound here from New
castle with coal have American regis
ter, with the exception of two British
and one German.

Nebrask an Caused $4,000 Damage.

While the big freight steamer Nebras-
kan was leaving her dock at San Fran
cisco, December II, en- route to Homo
lulu, before she could gather sufficient
Roadway, the tide swept her down
against the U. S. Fish Commission
steamer Albatross, lying off Harrison
street. But for the prompt action of those
aboard the Albatross in giving their
vessel more chain, she would probably
have been sunk. AS it was, the big
freighter snapped off the bowsprit of
the Albatross, and with all the force of
her enormous weight tore through all
distractions attached to and projecting
from the starboard side of the anchored
vessel. A boat hanging on the forward
davits was badly shattered, and the
iron davits were twisted beyond repair.
The first cutter, lying at the boom. was
and the starboard gangway
reduced to pulp. Nobody was hurt. On
the Albatross they estimate the damage
at $4,000. The Nebraskan was not in
and Navy Journal.
