Blown Here From Mahukona.

Torn from her anchorage at Mahu-
ago, the schooner James H. Bruce
doomed up on the horizon to the south
of Honolulu yesterday and late in the
afternoon was brought to an anchor
age off port by the tug Intrepid. The
vessel was brought up during a strong
off-shore wind, accompanied by heavy
seas. The Hawaiian pilot from Mahu-
kona is still aboard.
The schooner arrived at Mahukona
from San Francisco on Thursday. just
after she was anchored the gale caused
her to drag, and finally she went en-
tlrely adrift, and for three days the
captain endeavored to bring her back,
but the best he could do under the cir
cumstances was to bring her to Homo
and foresail. The Hawaiian pilot was
carried off from Hawaii in the vessel,
and when she is put in shape here lie
will anchor her once more at MANU-
kona, for the captain expects to sail
in few days.

Rover Looks Like Torpedoer.
I The little tug Rover looks like an
ironclad of the Civil War period. Her
forward deck has been housed over
with a peculiar structure which slants
back and covers the little pilot house,
thus making her look from distance
like an o1d-fashioned river gunboat or
an out-of-d date torpedo boat.
