of the crew of the Pensacola, the playing of

| learn if possible anything appsrtaining to the
| ship wrecked people. Five hundred dollars
| in gold is carried to be used in case the vessel
| runs short of provisions, water, etc. The
mate of the lost ship, Mr.. Sleeves, is conf

island. The Freda will be towed out as far
| as the Heads by the Monterey, she only stop

Sleeves to have his clothing sent on board.
While the Freda was being fitted out a
telegram was received from San Francisco,
stating that the English yacht Lancashire
Witch would be sent down in a day or two,
but now that the Freda has started she will
probably not go.
