The new steamer Nile, which left
Yokohama on the 5th of this month
and should arrive here Sunday on her
first voyage, has not yet been heard
from and, since the agents have no
means of knowing what kind of time
she will make, it is impossible even to
surmise the hour of her arrival al
though, if she makes average time,
she should be in some time Sunday.
She left Yokohama two days behind
her schedule so will not arrive here
on the 18th of this month as shipping

CHINA BRINGS LITTLE FREIGHT.
The Pacific Nails intermediate
steamer China, which is scheduled to
arrive here March IS, left San Fran
