II. HackfeId & Co have received
cable advices of the departure of the
| S. s. Mongolia from Yokohama for Ho-
nolulu and San Francisco. The Mon
golIa has 1900 tons of freight for this
port and accommodation for about LOG
passengers from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco. She is due in Honolulu the
morning of February IS, having sailed
on February 8.
SAW MANY ICEBERGS.
| With an experience similar to that of
| the bark Nuuanu, the British ship
Dimsdale arrived here yesterday morn
ing. $50 days from Hamburg. She
sighted a large quantity of icebergs
and saw the bergs further north than
usual. In latitude SO south, in the At
| lantic, forty icebergs were passed on
one day and during the day and night
no less than 100 immense bergs We're
passed. The vessel had to constantly
tack ship to avoid running down the
bergs. Some of them were 1000 feet in
height. The presence of icebergs SO far
north is very unusual and caused a
great deal of surprise to those aboard
the vessel. 1t was thought that pos
sibly the recent seismic disturbances
had dislodged the bergs and started
them north, earlier than usual. from
the Antarctic regions.
The Dimsdale experienced fine
weather f-0!:s Hamburg to the Ma
deiras.. Then she struck Gains and was
n ierlor 10 liz Ior
the Equator. She had light winds to
off the mouth of the River Platte, and
then she encountered series of gales
that carried away considerable canvas.
From thirty-nine degrees south to
forty-eight degrees south she expert
enced a succession of icebergs, many
of huge proportions. The vessel was
ninety-eight days making Cape Horn.
Very rough weather was experienced
off Cape Horn, but the vessel passed
from fifty degrees south in the Allan
tic to fifty degrees south in the Pacific
in eighteen days. She experienced fine
southeast trades after rounding the
Cape, and went up to the Line in thirty
days. From the Equator to Honolulu
she was fourteen days.
The vessel has about 1900 tons of
fertilizer for Honolulu and part cargo
of china clay and cement for Portland.
Captain Chamberlain has no passen-
gers, except his daughter, who is a re-
markably handsome young woman. The
Dimsdaie will be in port about two
weeks.
CHINA MADE LONG STAY.
The present trip of the S. S. China is
a joke so far as cabin passengers are
concerned. She arrived here yesterday
morning with only one cabin passenger
for Honolulu and seven cabin passen-
gers for San Francisco. This is the
smallest crowd that she has ever had
in her history.
The vessel experienced some rough
weather after leaving Yokohama, but
did not report the same heavy weather
that the America Maru and Siberia
encountered last month. The China
was sighted before O'Clock, but she
did not get into the harbor until after
2 D. m. One of the Chinese steera ge
passengers died the day prior to reach
ing Honolulu, so the local quarantine
officials decided that post norton
was. necessary, as there was a POSSIBLE
ity that the man had died of the
plague 1t was learned that he had
succumbed to a complication of pull
monary and liver complaints, SO the
ship was released from quarantine.
The vessel brought five tons of freight
for Honolulu and had 527 Japanese
steerage passengers for this port. She
is due to depart for San Francisco at
9 o'clock this morning. The vessel will
take a small crowd of passengers from
this port for the mainland.
KOREA BRINGS MAIL.
With a weeks later mail from the
mainland, the 3. S. Korea arrived here
Yesterday morning. She left San Fran
cisco February and her time to port
was five days eighteen hours and
twenty-four minutes. She was not re-
ported as early as usual, however. but
Captain Sandberg probably held her off
on account of the proximity of Oahu
until the day broke.
The vessel brought a good-sized crowd
of people to Honolulu, many of them
well known, and has a large crowd Of
people through for Oriental ports. A
number of prominent mainland people
are going to the Orient. The Korea ex-
perienced good weather on the run. She
will sail at IL o'clock this morning for
the Orient from the Hackfeld wharf
She takes a number of cabin passen-
gers from Honolulu.
