which learn issancbored in the channel the
bar, with her guns double shotted, and portion Of
her armament planted on the shore, to insure the
capture OF the Pampero, should she attempt TO run
out. These were the preparations made for eaectu-
ally checking the movements Of the steamer.
Nothing was heard from the ins pector, or OF tho
object Of his search, until late this evening, when
tho Psmpero arrived a. the wharf In charge Of that
functiensry; her dark m lists AMI rigging, and
noble model being only revealed upon the sombro
background Of night, when in fixed position at tho
pier she was found in Dunn's lake, above Pala,-

qualities Of endurance, VIC suppose,) on her way
down. The object, therefore, being accom- lishcd
in this civil manner, the gallant cutter can "pacs
up her duds," and Lieut.. Merchant can counter
march his men and return his FURNISHED bull dogs
