Cable Return.

The Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship company's liner Coptic. Captain
William Finch. arrived yesterday from
the Orient She brought many passen-
gers and a valuable cargo. With her
arrival here the Copiic ends the last
round trip she will make under the O.
ana o. flag. For more than twelve
years she has been coming and going
between here and the Orient, ana she
never looked more like a weT-found
Yacht than she did in yesterday morn
ings sunshine.
After passing quarantine inspection
she proceeded TO the Pacific Mail wharf
Te reach her berth at the head of the
wharf she had to pass between the
Korea and the Newport and then work
her way into pocket little longer than
her own length. With the tide against
her and her keel on the mud the under
taking promised TO be tedious. Captain
Finch, however, handled the liner as
though she were on a railroad track
and had her in her berth and made fast
tn a very few minutes
That is what I call a pretty dock
