Y eSsel Owned Here Comes to
Grlef After Record Passage.

r. fornia Shipping Company were
rejoicing over record trips made
by three of their clippers, word
was received yesterday morning that
one Of the reoord-breakers. the bark
Mary l. Gushing. had drifted ashore at
Mazatlan and was lying there with
eighteen feet of water in her hold.
The Mary L. Cushing arrived at
Mazatlan on Sunday. hfty-three days
from Newcastle, Australia. This is one
of the best passages recorded for this
trip. Another of the California Ship
ping Company's feet, the ship s. ID.
Carlton, arrived at Guaymas. fifty-two
days from Newcastle. Australia, an
even better passage than that made by
the Cushing. AS a climax to this
record-breaking the ship Governor
Robie, with more than million feet
OF lumber on board. reached this port
Just nine days from Port Ludlow.
Then as wet blanket came a cable
gram from Mazatlan saying that yes
ter6ays dawn had revealed the Mary
J.. Cushing ashore and that subsequent
Investigation showed that she had
eighteen feet of water in her hold. As
the California Shipping Company car
ries its own insurance the news from
Mazatlan put an end TO all jubilation
over the triple record. Although the
cablegram furnished no particulars. ii
is not believed that the bark is in any
immediate danger as long as the
weather continues fine. But the an
chorage for ships at Mazatlan is out
side the harbor and that is not the best
place for a coal-laden ship with hole
IN her bottom.
