Total Loss

The Oceanic steamer Sierra, Cap.
tain Houdlette, arrived in this port
from San Francisco and locked short
ly after s o'clock at the Oceanic wharf.
The voyage was reported pleasant and
the trip without incident beyond the
continuous playing Of the deck piano
by festive passengers and the loss Of
the deck quoits which a certain young
ster threw overheard to see if they
would float The cabin was not full,
that is not nearly as full as it will be
on the return trip. There were 50 first
class passengers on board and 13 in
the steerage. The Sierra also brought
1879 sacks Of mail, A packages of
Wells Fargo express and 22SO tons of
cargo.
The Sierra was decidedly the win
ner in the race for the Coast which
she ran with the Wilhelmina. 1t will
be remembered that the Wilhelmina
got away from this port a half hour
before the Sierra but the latter steam
err locked on Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock and discharged passengers in
San Francisco while the Wilhelmina
did not get in until 10 o'clock that
night and discharged her passengers
at o'clock Wednesday morning. The
officers of the Sierra take great pride
in this triumph.
