 Capt. s. B, Brunn, for so long a 'ime master of the Alaskan. is back to his o;d love and is again manipu- latng the bells on that ship, The captain is an experienced navigator, and thoroughly we'll informed pilot as well, who thoroughly unuerstands the intricacles and dangers of the in- land passages through which his ship must necessarily ply.
 The steamer Jeanie which laid at one o. the wharves here most of the night, leaving at o'clock this morn ing, had on board Capt. Y. Fugii, anu four men from the three masted Jap anese schooner Satsuma Maru, which went ashore about six miles north oi Point Manby, off Malaspina glacier on the 9th of November last. There were nineteen persons, all told, on board the ship at the time, one ot whom was drowned another dying from exposure. Her captain, with nine men made their way ashore to Yakutat on the 9th of this month in the sampan, when the Jeanie hap pening along on her down run picked them up and started back with them to the stranded schooner for the pur- pose of rescuing the balance of the crew who were camped on the beach, taking the sampan with her. In at tempting the rescue the sampan was swamped in the surf, and instead of etfecting rescue of any of the strand ed party three more were added to the number, and the Jeanie, not dar- ing to risk her own boat in the surf was obliged to come away and leave them, some ten or eleven in number. The department was advised by cable from Juneau of the predica- ment of the stranded Japs, and asked to send revenue cutter to their re- lief. Thee Sutsuma sailed from Xiii lisnoo on the 16th of October, and had liO tons of fine salt for the curing of fish, which however, she had found no occasion to use owing to the fact that she did not arrive on the coast till after the close of the fishing season, and possibly for the reason that her captain did not care to run the risk of prosecution. The schooner is minus rudder and anchors, but is otherwise intact. The compass used by Capt. Fugii in navigating the sampan to Yakutat can be seen at the Hotel Cornell, that gentleman having made a present of it to the proprietor of that popular hostelry.
