THE POTTINGER, whom arrival at Southampton on
Maeda we announced in our impnesion of Tuesday, mil
yesterday towed up the Margate roach by the Indus, where
she was left, the Indus reaming to Southampton. It seems
that, a favourable wind having *prang ap. the Pettinger
went up the Chanel. As loon as the authorities at the CIA.
meal Company's office is Southampton heard of this, they
resolved on sending the Indus into the Channel to tow the
Pottier Into Southampton, if she was not far off from the
Isle of ght,and could not well go 'cm, or to assist her in
reaching the Downs. As soon, therefore, as the Indus had
discharged pert of the cargo with which she had arrived from
India the previous day, and had pot her steam up, she on
Tuesday morning left Southampton dock in search of the
Pettinger.
