The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-21

d. er Prosper, which arrived all safe and
sound this morning from Eureka.
OF course, it was the worst weather
that the genial skipper had ever seen;
he admitted that without any hesita-
ton, but he could not tell when the
worst of the gale occurred. From the
log he read: January %, moderate
gale; %, another gale, 25 moderate
gale, tremendous seas" There was
simply a repetition of entries of gales
with mountainous seas. The sea
would calm down for awhile after the
blow, said the captain, and then the
wind would start from another direc-
ton and very soon seas would be run
ming again.
The $4,000 feet of lumber (railroad
ties) suffered no less, but one of the
stern davits was torn out, and the
boat was damaged. The other boat
escaped injury. Several sails were
lost. Just how many had not been
reckoned up. AS soon as one was
lost it was replaced. The little ship
looked all right his morning on arri-
val
The Andrew Welch, which arrived
here yesterday, was sighted twice,
the barkentine James Johnson, which
came in here some months ago after
having lost her skipper and then be-
! ing lost herself off Kauai when the
Persia sighted her and gave her some
directions, was also seen; so was the
Hilonian, bound for San Francisco.
Toward the end of the voyage the
weather Gained down, and it was fine
right up to port, which was reached
last night, when the Prosper was an
chored, after thirty,une days at sea.

CHINA'S FRAGMENTARY MESSAGE
That the China will be here first
thing tomorrow morning was the only
portion of the message that she sent
in last night that could be made out
Just what cargo she has for here and
how many passengers could not be
ascertained from the message. That
she will be here in plenty of time for
the Washington Birthday celebrations
is the chief point of interest.
