THE JOHN ENA ARRIVES.

The American ship John Ena, Cap
tain Madsen, arrived yesterday Morn
ing in this port with about 5000 tons Of
coal for the American navy. The John
Ena sailed from Norfolk November u
last. After dropping her tow she made
the voyage TO this port in 129 days.
She came up from the southeast with
the fine fresh northeast trades which
were blowing yesterday morning and
with topsails set reached anchorage off
port. The Intrepid was on the ways
and so could not go to her to bring her
in but she was towed into port by
the steamer Claudine.
For the thirty-eight days from Cape
Henry to the River Platte the Ena ex-
perienced rough weather. Then there
were some battling winds. From so
degrees south, on the Atlantic side to
so degrees south on the Pacific side
took thirty-one days. The voyage
throughout was without unpleasant in
cident.
Captain Madsen is accompanied by
his wife and family. There are four
children. Mrs. Madsen has always
travelled with her husband on his voy-
ages and of course the children have
been with their parents. A governess
accompanies them and they have regu-
lar school hours and studies. The
quarters on the John Ena are roomy
and comfortable and there is every con-
venience. The eldest of Captain and
Mrs. Madsen's children is twelve years
of age, and the youngest, baby not
quite a year old, born in Denmark
when the family We're there last year
on Captain Madsen's vacation in his
native land. This is the second baby
that has come around the Horn to
Honolulu this year, the child of Cap
tain and Mrs. Quick of the Edward
Sewall being the first.
The John Ena is at the Naval wharf
and has already unbent her sails and
otherwise begun the work of putting
herself in shape after her long voyage.
