The American bark Andrew WEIGH
passed through a two days heavy
downpour of rain on her trip down
from the Coast, but otherwise the
weather was fair, the gale off Cape
Flattery having failed to extend as far
south as the San Francisco course. She
brings a big cargo of mixed freights, |
inc Of fanPa
and knock-down water tanks. She with
return with sugar if a cargo can be |
secured, otherwise she will go back in |
ballast
The Andrew WEIGH was brought down |
this trip by Captain McPhail, who is |
to settle down in Honolulu as manager |
of the McCabe, Hamilton & Kenny |
stevedoring business. The command |
of the bark will be turned over to !

turning to their home here.
MARCITS LONG PASSAGE.
The fears expressed for the safety of |
the Norwegian bark Marcit, long over |
due from Lefth, England. were set at |
rest yesterday afternoon by the arrival
of that vessel off Koko Head at 2
o'clock She was towed into the har-
Dor and is now locked at the railway /,
dock.
Her long passage of 179 days was due |
altogether to light winds and Gains, |
there having been no misadventure /
during the trip. Off the Horn she en- |
countered some stormy weather, but !
was at no time in any danger. Some |
large ice foes were seen in the lower /
ATTITUDES, but these were carefully |
avoided. Her crew is in the best of
health.
The Marcit, which was formerly the |
British bark Craigland brings 1855 tons
