There is still a large demand for disen-
gagged tonnage. The past week has been
very stormy one, and many vessels have
been Obliged to return to port. Of these Is
the c.. +. Sargent on which Captain Moore
got several ribs broken. The Sargent will
not besurveyed, but will go to sea directly;
the cargo of coal has been properly TRIM
med. The Charles B. Kenney, which had
to return last week with her captain in
jured, has gone to sea. The schooner
Eureka, bound for Gray's harbor, had to
put into this port, not being able through
stress of weather to make that port. The
loss of the Atalanta on Vancouver island
is already known. As far as could be
learned neither hull or cargo was insured.
A large number of vessels have been
weather-bound here, but the fine weather
of the last two days has enabled most of
them to go to sea.
