The steamer Wilmington arrived in port
last night, after rather an eventful voyage
from Portland. She left that port nearly

against the heavy gale blowing and had to
seek shelter at POr. Angeles. AS soon as

took on board a fresh supply of coal and
made fresh start on Sunday. The vessel
had long trip down and those interested
in her were anxious regarding her safety.
She came in all right, however. AMI pro-
ceeded to dock at the sea-wall. As she
neared her berth, and owing to some mis-
understanding she crashed into the timbers
at Section l with force that sent her bow a
dozen feet inside the big grain-shed. So far
as could be learned the steamer escaped
with put serious damage.
While docking at bard-street Wharf
last night the schooner Western Home ran
her bowsprit through the side of the shed
anG tore away one of the doors.

temptS cut the rope away and the steamer
was enabled to proceed Oh her voyage.
