JUST ESCAPED THE STRIKE.

! The All. S. S. Nevadan arrived
yesterday morning from Seattle after
an uneventful voyage of nine days.
She brought a general cargo of 1850
! tons for this port, principally lumber
and building material, and about 500
tons for Kahului.
She sails on Tuesday next for the
Maui port en- route to San Francisco,
! leaving Kahului on the 30th.
This vessel was just fortunate
enough to escape the general tie-up of
| vessels at San Francisco, sailing from
that port on the morning of the day
on which the seamen s strike was de-
clared. There had been notification
given of the impending action of the
strikers and night and day shifts were
kept at work on the Nevadan to allow
her to get away in time.
Purser Weldon, discussing the strike,
, says that the present is a most mop
perfume time for the men to strike.
There is no accommodation for idle men
in the city and no places as hang-outs
around the waterfront, such as has for
merly been the case
ToBEY HAD TRYING EXPERIENCE
The bark Gerard c. Tobey arrived
from San Francisco at 4:30 yesterday
afternoon and locked at the Bishop
slip, being tied midway between the
two wharves, her cargo of explosives
making this mooring necessary.
The Tobey has passed through severe
experiences since her last visit to this
port. With a cargo consisting for the
most part of the steel for the o. R. &
L. construction and 100 iron casks of
gasoline, she left San Francisco for
Honolulu on March IA. Three days out
terrific gale was encountered, during
which the greater part of her mainmast
was carried away and she was thrown
on her beam ends. To save her the
deck load of gasoline had to be jetti-
soned as well as some of the cargo from
the hold
bark limped back into San Francisco
harbor, with four feet of water in her
hold, her main topmast, royal and
to gallant sail yards carried away, and
crew and three passengers exhausted
in their strenuous fight against the ele
ments. The gasoline awash on the
decks had blistered and burned their
feet and ankles, eating through their
leather and rubber shoes. Some of the
hands We're compelled to lay up for
some time in consequence of the in
juries they had suffered from the gaso-
line
The storm in which the Tobey suf- |
fered lasted for two DAYS. during which |
time it was momentarily expected that |
the ship would founder. A leak de- |
veloped and until port was reached |
there was no rest for the crew, the |
pumps being manned constantly.
On this trip she has been 10 days
out, pleasant weather being had.
CATINAT'S EXTENDED CRUISE.
The French man-of-war Catinat,
which was expected to go from here to
Seattle and then to San Francisco, will
leave Saturday morning for San Diego,
where she will remain for about three
weeks. From that port she will sail
for Guayaquil, Ecuador. and viii after
wards visit the principal ports of South
returning to San Francisco
next winter. She will be back in
Honolulu in February or March next,
IN her way to Samoa and New Gale
lonia.
The French Consul, DIR. Marques, as
sisted by Consul General Canavarro,
gave a luncheon yesterday to num-
Der of the Catinat officers. The French
.hef of the Young Hotel had prepared
| very dainty French breakfast, and a
pretty boutonniere of the French ma
ional colors was provided for each
guest.
Commander Hautefeuille, accompa
lied by DR.. Marques, paid visit yes
erday to the Aquarium, and was
greatly interested in the gaudy display
# fishes in the tanks. He expressed
he opinion that no such collection of
and inulticolored fish
ould be found anywhere outside of
honolulu.
The officers of the Catinat regret
hat the work of coaling the ship has
Prevented any entertainments being
,iven on board during her stay here.
