Blythe following from the Journal of Commerce, it

brought was greatly overstated
The Dale has been absent from the United States

hOmeward voyage, on the 18th Of March last with
nearly 100000 in California gold, the greater part
of which was landed at Valparaiso. She arrived
August 22d, after passage of SO days from Rio de
