Hongkong, Apr. 14.
The junk Maske, will probably make a second start from Swatow on April 15 on her projected voyage around the world.
The Maskee left Swatow on April 8, but made slight progress owing to fogs and calms and covered only 26 miles in three days.
Mr. L. J. Stevenson, an officer of the Indo-China's steamer who is in command of the "Maskee," decided to put back to Swatow as. provisions were running short. On her return journey the tide was favourable and the voyage was accomplished in five and a half hours.
Mr. Stevenson, who is accompanied by two companions, will visit, among other places, Australia vid the Pacific Islands, San Francisco, the Panama Canal, New York and London—Reuter.
