(From Sundays Advertiser.)
The fifth round-the-H Horn vessel to
make this port this month, the Amer,
lean bark Foohng Suey, arrived yes
terday morning. having been off the
harbor before midnight the day pre-
vious. She comes from New York
and made the passage IN 142 days, and
the harbor is livelier than it has been
for long time with windjammers.
On April the American ship John
Ena, Captain Madsen, arrived from
Norfolk with coal for the Navy;
American ship Dirigo and Russian
ship Dundee, from Baltimore and
Leith, respectively, came in on Thurs
day; on Friday the British ship Celtic
Monarch arrived from Hamburg, and
yesterday the Foohng Suey showed up
from New York.
The presence of these five big YES
sells in the harbor means the circula-
ton of considerable money on the
waterfront; the waterfront ever wei
comes a large sailing vessel with sew
eral times the enthusiasm with which
a steamship is greeted.
The John EIia, Dirigo, Dundee, Gel
tic Monarch and Foohng Suey will
spend, during the two or three weeks
they are in port, altogether $4,000, or
more, the wages paid to the crews
amounting to at least third of the
sum named. Tomorrow the crews of
the Dirigo and the Foohng Suey will
be paid off before United States Ship
ping Commissioner H. n. Almy.
1t is worth mention that no one of
these five vessels, recently passing
around the Horn. saw anything of the
ship Bangalore, nor did they hear any
thing of the lost American ship Ar
thur Sewall
The Bangalore is today out 179 days
from Norfolk with coal for the Navy
here. Reinsurance in San Francisco is
quoted on her at 10 per cent. She is
the last of the coal fleet for the Navy
and should show up at any time. None
of the five vessels above referred to
have made voyages as long as that
now figured by the Bangalore, hence
there is naturally a great deal of
anxiety, when the fate of the Arthur
Sewall is considered.
The manner in which the Navy coal
has been taking fire in Cavite, Guam
and Honolulu is enough to excite
anxiety for any vessel carrying the
fine steaming fuel.
The bark Foohng Suey, Captain
which arrived yesterday,
ike her predecessors this month, has
little of adventure to report. She, like
the rest, had her share of battling
winds, tropic Gains and severe storms, |
out nothing in any way of a serious |
nature and nothing which threatened |
he safety of ship or crew. She |
brought 100 tons of general cargo and
locked in the Bishop slip.
The John Ena is still at the Naval |
wharf, high up out of the water, and I
York. Nearby is the Dirigo; she will
;ail probably on the last day of the
month or the first day of May for New
York. The Dundee is at the Hackfeld
wharf and the Celtic Monarch in Sor-
nson's slip.
When it comes to signing crews for
hese vessels there is likely to be
ONE excitement. The crews of the
We windjammers represent one hun
red men, and a good proportion of
his number will want to go coastwise
rom here at $40 per month, instead
f working a 15.0OO-mile stunt around
he Horn at only about half that
CURE.
Aboard the Dundee a good number
her crew will want to stay. and the
elite Monarch is sure of keeping at
asst her apprentices, for they are
Dung chaps with futures being :
loulded and appreciative of the adj
antages they receive on so good
nip.
OF the five round-the-Horn boats
AIMED, there are three Americans, n !
ritisher and a Russian. Seldom are
Tree American deep-water boats at
ne time seen in this harbor nova
