off the Kinau wharf As she got under
way down the harbor, she found her
way blocked by the tug Intrepid which
was pulling a line from the stern OF
the British steamer Bucranla and re-
moving her from the side of the bat
tleship Nebraska which she had just
finished coaIing. The Bucrania S bow
pointed Ewaward, and it was necessary
TO swing her clear around so that she
might point ont of the harbor. The
NCulgoa apparently did not heed this
maneuver for she came on down the
harbor until opposite the Fort street
wharf, when she had to back and pass
a line from the stern to the wharf, the
Connecticut s launches being impressed
into quick service to handle the lines.
Captain Lane, who needed all the room
in that portion of the harbor, was conn
PEELED to slew off and thereby make
room at the upper end for the Culgoa
to pass through. This succeeded and
the Culgoa steamed out and sailed for
the South Seas in advance of the fleet.
But the Slowing off of the Intrepid had
allowed the Buerania s bow with the
anchor still out to pass alarming1y close
to the Relief s bow, which had two
anchors out Result, the Bucrania s
anchor hooked the Relief s anchors. A
line was then taken by the Intrepid to
the Fort street wharf and the Intrepid
went around to the bow and finally
sgesstfe big tramp Strengthened out. The
Ruerania went to sea and viii go to
Portland to take on wheat for China.
FAIR voYAGERs.
When the bark R. P. Rithet sails this
morning for San Francisco in command
of the veteran master, Captain Drew,
there viii be aboard bevy of Califor-
mia ladies who are making the round
trip in the vessel. The party came to
Honolulu on the Rithet and during
their stay here have had unusual ad
vantages for seeing Honolulu life. The
feet with all its festivities. has been
one phase of their entertainment, and
social activity in other directions has
caused them to regret that the Rithet
has to return to San Francisco at all.
The passengers include Miss Patty
Chickering, Miss Shirley Hyatt. Miss
Anita Putzka. Miss Margaret Clauson
and one lone man. The vessel will
carry about 1850 tons of sugar What
rs OF more than usual interest, particu-
larry with reference to the skipper, is
the rumor that Captain Drew will face
the altar about the first of the new
year and sign on fair first mate.
