TWO WEEKS OF GAINS.
aout of nearly fifty trips 1 have
made down here this one has been the
slowest. Fourteen days of calm in
which we drifted less than 400 miles
and the smoothest sea ever saw in a
winter voyage" This is the descrip-
ton of the passage of the bark Edward
May given by Captain Jorgenson yes
terday afternoon, his vessel having
locked al noon in the Fort street slip,
twenty-seven days out from San Fran
cisco.
The Edward May flies the red flag,
showing that she has explosives
aboard. These consist of 400 cases of
blasting powder, 400 cases of giant and
fifteen cases of illuminate caps, enough
to make a Chinese New Year look like
thirty cents. The explosives are billed
for Makaweli. Her other freight con.
sists of 1000 tons of general merchan-
disc She will commence discharging
this morning
s. c. ALLEN HAS LONG PASSAGE.
The bark s. c. Allen, Captain Willer.
arrived yesterday afternoon, twenty
eight days out from Eureka. She en-
countered very much the same wealth
er as the bark Edward May, which
also arrived yesterday. Gains and light
southerly winds. For three weeks dur.
ing the trip the bark made practically
no progress. tossing IN the heavy
southerIy seas. which stood her on end,
but with which there was not breath
of wind. conditions which Captain Will

$4,000 feet of lumber, which she VIII
discharge as soon as possible, and re-
turn TO Eureka for more. She is dock
