the brig Eamr was offered ut auction, and sold for
$3.50, T. Spencer, Esq being the purchaser. We
learn that she will be Immediately fitted for the
whaling business, and will be dispatched for the coast
of California under the command of Capt. A. F. Tut
tie. The John Dunlap. also, is being fitted, by
the same energetic and enterprising house, and will
cruise OH the California coast under command of
Capt. r. g.. Spencer, late of the e. l.. Frost. Both
the above vessels will sail in about ten days. and from
the we'll known character for activity and skill of
Capts. futile and Spencer, We look for them to give
a good account of themselves in the spring-if there
are any whales to be met with.
