ONLY TWO SHIPS
LEAVE HARbOR
Mauna kea Upon the Nays
Visitors Day on Cambrian
---Ship Notes.

There were only two boats sailing
away from this port yesterday, these
being the oil-steamer Santa Rita, Cap
tain Connors, and the American schoon-
err Dauntless. The Santa Rita brought
a large load of oil here, and, this dis
she left in ballast for San
Francisco yesterday The Dauntless
also sailed in ballast. She is bound for
Grays Harkor, where she will pick up
a cargo of lumber. 1t was intended
to sail the Daunt1ess out of the harbor
without assistance, but there was so
little wind during the morning that her
skipper called for the services of the
tug Intrepid.
Mauaa Kea on the Ways.
At last the Inter Island steamer Ma
una Kea, the flagship of the fleet, was
gotten up ON the Marine Railway yes
terday. The first time this craft was
put on the ways, or rather, the first
time an attempt was made to put her
on the ways, she baked so hard that
the job was abandoned AS matter
of fact, the first attempt made to get
the Mauna Kea up in the air was any
thing but a success. for she broke her
fastenings and did things to the run
way. She is now safe and sound, how
ever, and will be given a thorough
oyerhauling before being put on her
run to the other island next Tuesday
Calling Day ON Britisher.
There will be ssOpen House, on
board Fl. M. S. Cambrian today, and,
weather permitting, there should be a
very large number of visitors present
themselves at the boat. These will be
entertained in the good old English
fashion, and there will be nothing lack
ing in the way of hospitality. The
Cambrian has been given a thorough
cleaning after her long cruise through
the South Seas since she has been in
this port and now presents fine ap-
pearance. The other British warship is
due to arrive here within a very few
days.
Iroauois to Pearl Harbor.
The U. s. S. station tug Troquois
took hike down to Pearl Harbor
Yesterday, and she had not returned at
10 clock last night, though she will
be in the harbor this morning TO as
sist in the attempt which will be made
to get the transport Logan afoat.
Manchuria Sailed.
Advices which were received here
Yesterday from Yokohama state that
the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria sail
ed from that port for here with 100
tons of Honolulu freight and room for
about 100 cabin passengers from here
to the mainland. The big liner will
probably arrive here on the morning
of March %, and it is likely that she
viii leave for the mainland the same
night.
Windjammer' Hard Time.
SAN FRANCISCO.-During a fierce
northwest gale in midocean, February
27, the schooner James Rolph had her
main squaresail and mizzen topsail
blown away and her cabin flooded. Ac-
cording to the story told by those on
board, the gale lasted thirty-six hours,
and the great green seas played with
the schooner as though she were q
shell. Everything movable was swept
off the deck, and at one time it seem
ed as though the craft would not live
through the storm. Captain Olsen
brought the James Rolph to port at
about Q o'clock last night with 1880
bags of sugar from Hama.
