The contract calls for 12,000,000, ties in all, and it will take the Adato eight trips to land that number at Guayaquil. There was some spirited bidding for the order | and at one time the Puget Sound lumberl dealers thought they had secured the plum. They made a miscalculation, how- | ever, and San Francisco secured the con: ] tract, The Adaw took away yesterday 1,889,353 | feet of lumber, 50,029 railroad ties and ai small quantity of merchand’se. The tramp Sound and brought | 974 feet of lumber and 79 feet and the rail- ties she took on here. The latter were brought from Mendocino on steam schooners_and loaded on to the Adato in the bay, The lumber was piled up as high as the tramp’s poop deck and she looked | like a huge steam schooner as she passed | out through the heads, On the return trip | from Guayaquil the Adato will probably | bring nitrate to Ban Francisco, | SHIP IROQUOIS DEPARTS. : First Sailing Vessel to Leave for New York in Months. Bince the advent of the American-Ha- walian steamship line between here and New York the sailing vessels have been | forced to look for charters in other direc- tions, Since January last and up to last Thursday not a wind jammer had safled | from San Francisco for the East with a general cargo, but on the date named the ship Iroquols broke the monotony. She | i now on her way to New York with a | cargo valued at tens of thousands. Among it is 4499 barrels of California wine, canned goods, cedar logs, Kcrx’llg‘ iron, wire rope and 478 bales of rags, e latter consign- | ment when sold to the paper mills will realize quite a neat sum, while the wire | rope and scrap iron will be sold as junk. day for Mazatlan with cargo to be landed at various Mexican ports, valued at $19,826, con- sisting of the following: 2360 cs powder, 24 cs caps, 30 cs fuse, 108 gals wine, 10 cs drugs, 3398 bdls shooks, 169,- 807 feet lumber.

The old whaler Lydia is to be broken up. Built in Rochester, Mass., away back in | 1540, she is known from Maine to Califor- nia, and there are few of the *‘old brig-| | ade” of whalemen who have not served on | | her at one time or another. In her young | [ days she was the pride of the New Bed- ford fleet and chased the sperm whale all | over the Southern Seas. In Australasian waters she made some good catches and | many a thousand pounds of “bone” has | she brought home from the Arctic. On | this coast the Lydia was never a_success | and many and many a time was she fitted | | out by Wright, Bowne & Co. only to come | { back “clean” after a vear's absence. In| | 1583 she made her last voyage for ! | irm. The next year she was not north, but in 18% a party of young | sent her north, but all they gained experience. In 189 C. J. Hendry & the ship chandlers, fitted her out, they could not make her pay and shé was | Jaid up in Oakland Creek and has been there ever since. A couple of days ago the old bark was sold to the Pacific Coast Wrecking Company, so that after almost | sixty years of constant service the Lydia | has gone to the “‘bone yard” at last. | Water Front Notes. The five-masted schconer W. H. Mars- | ton, which was moved from Mission-street | whart yesterday to make room for the | four-masted barkentine Lahaina, did con- siderable damage to the pier. Some of the plles were smashed and planking torn up while she was being moved. Both the | Marston and Lahaina are being rigged. | On her next trip from the Sound the big tramp steamship Algca will go to Oakland | with coal for the Southern Pacific. After that she may be returned to the Mail | Company and will darry merchandise to the Orient. The collier Horda, which struck on an uncharted rock in Oyster Harbor, has gone on the Union Tron Works’ drydock for an inspection.
