The Coast Mails.
BY w. II. CLARKE.

tomorrow morning, the exact hour not
yet being available, by the P. NJ. s
China, which is due to arrive this aft
ernoon from the Orient.
The Sierra will be the next one out
after her, and she will be followed by
the Manchuria on Saturday, July Is.
The vagaries of the mails are shown
| by a glance at the list. The Korea
and the Wilhelmina both arrive on
/ Tuesday, simultaneously, it is prac-
tically certain, and then there will be
a spell of a week, when the Nippon
Maru will come in Then again next
Saturday the Ionolulan and the Man.
churia are both due to leave for the
Coast together. Obviously, of course.
the Manchuria will carry the mail, as
she is siN-day boat, whereas the
Honolulan will take seven days. Apart
from this, however, there is an excel
lent mail service to and from the Coast
this month.
The New Government Wharf.
The new wharf that the Territory
is having built between the Alakea
wharf and the naval docks is getting
along rapidly, but for some reason that
is puzzling the men on the Alakea
wharf, it is being built higher in the
center. This is incomprehensible to
those who are watching the progress
tr the work, and they would like very
much to know why this course is being
adopted.
Alex. T. Brown Had Worms.
The schooner Alexander I. Brown,
which put in here recently from Port
Townsend with big leak in her, came
off the marine railway this morning.
The investigation on the dock showed
that she had three planks affected by
sand worms. The damage was all
from the inside, but the worms had
the wood so completely !
that the water oozed through.
She has now been completely re-
paired and is all ready to sail, as the
lug Intrepid, in charge of Captain
Hyde, put her alongside the Alakea
wharf this morning. The trouble is,
however, the men have all deserted,
out as soon as a crew is gotten to-
sether she will sail again for Valpar-
'iso, whittier she was bound with lum-
,er when she sprank a leak. The i
eck cargo was all jettisoned, but
more than half of the shipment was
aved.
Sierra Was Festive Ship. ]
The Sierra arrived at an early hour y
his morning after an excellent pas t
age of five days nineteen hours and t
orty-eight minutes. The trip was an t
Xcellent one throughout, and this en-
bled all the passengers to be at the
tables at every meal. OF course, the
'ourth Of July had to be celebrated
nd this was done in the Sierra's best
tyle. Purser Smith, DR.. Clark and '
II the rest Of the officers co-operated
18th chief steward Carleton, and the l
esult was a complete success. The
aloon was decorated in a tasteful
lanner and the dinner exceeded the +
sual excellent meal that is served d

nd very happy time was spent a
The next day it was Delegate Ka- Il
