arrived al the port some weeks ago.
completing a passage OF 34S days from
New York, has been sold to Eastern
shipping brokers, at figure approx
mating $4,000. Advices by cable re-
eeiVed here today confirm the report
which was given publicity in the col
umns of the Star-Bulletin ten days
ago to the effect that negotiations to-
wards the sale of the bark were in
progress.
The Nuuanu Is still rated as a
Etaunch vessel. She sailed from New
York on her last trip with a big con-
Rignment of merchandise and heavy
and shelf hardware. The bark met
with misfortune in that unfavorable
weather near the Horn caused the
vessel to leak, which a succession of
fierce gales and tempestuous seas re-
suited in loss Of deck houses and
d also ships gear.
The Nuuanu put into Port Stanley
in the Falkland Islands and there
remained several months undergoing
repairs. Again bad weather caused
the loss of a mast and the vessel was
obliged to pay a return visit to the
Falklands.
The Nuuanu arrived here on July
25th in fine trim, looking spic and
span. The cargo is now discharged.
Captain Josselyn processes to have
received no orders concerning his fu-
ture movements.
II is. stated, however, that the par
ties who have become the new own

crate her in the Pacific trade. The
Nuuanu is said to be fitted to carry
cargoes between Ssn Francisco and
the islands save lumber, which il Of
fered would presumably entail some,
alterations in the vessel ....-.a~
Ballast has been placed on board
the vessel, which lies at Richard
street wharf pending orders for, her

Hilo As Port OF Call for r. X. K.
President Asano, Of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha line is reported to have writ
ten letter, received by the Hilo
Board of Trade in which the Japanese
steamship man declares that there is
q strong possibility that one OF more
T. X. K steamers may decide to call
at the Hawaii port should business
conditions warrant. The letter from
President Asano states: I'VE duly
received your esteemed favor Of the
2atll May last, contelIs OF which have
been carefully noted.
aIn reply thereto we beg to advise
that at present We are not in posi-
ton to change existing arrangements
as any alterations require the ap-
Troval of our government, with whom
we hold contract. l
However, we intend to make an
exhaustive Investigation of the situa-
alton, and If we find a change fully
warranted, We may take the matter
up with the authorities. -
AS you are probably aware, We
are plying two lines via Honolulu, |
viz, San Francisco line and South J
American line. We cannot make any
change of former, but as the latter
line is practically doing no business
at HonelHlu, should our investigation
prove change worth while, we may i
seriously consider the matter as re-
CARDS that branch of the service, SUBJ /,
ject to the government approval"
