Sixty days adrift at sea, with anchors gone, foretopinast wrenched and useless, water supply gone—such was the predicament of the Japanese schooner Riushul Maru, with 17 souls aboard, which put into Honolulu recently in distress. She sailed from Tokio, Japan, on December 31 on a shark-fishing cruise, and during the trip was struck by a westerly gale, which drove her before it. Unable to beat back to Japan against this wind, the schooner was forced to try to make Wake Island, and eventually made Honolulu.
