Captain Smith. which arrived In port

although the crew OF the schooner
said they had II pretty bad. with
gales ripping away their sails
and cold green seas taking possession
of the decks. The Jane l.. Stanford

days ago and had variable winds and
fine weather until she reached lati-
tude IS south, longitude 160:52 west,
where hurricane burst upon the
vessel from north to north northwest
At the rate of eighty knots an hour
and under bare poles, the barkentine
was driven along at terrific speed
before the fierce blast. II was fool
hardy to spread sail, and each piece
of canvas that was put up popped and
went into shreds. For nearly two
days the sturdy barkentine was driven
to the southwark by the hurricane,
and then the weather moderated.
The equator was crossed May 2Otn
in longitude 157 west. The Stanford
got the northeast trades In latitude
north and carried them to latitude
81 north. For the last three days be.
fore reaching the Golden Gate the
barkentine experienced north-north-
west gales, according to Captain
Petersen.
HE main event In the log Of tho
Resolute was a heavy easterly gale
encountered March 30th OF the end
Of New Zealand. Like the Stanford,
the schooner paid her tribute to the
elements In the shape Of several
pieces OF canvas. The Resolute was
ninety days on the run.-Chronicle. v

steamer City Of Para. which operates

been at the Union Iron Works for
several months having an oil-burning
