tle-Recovery Of the Mizzenmast Of the
Orissa by the Tug Rescue.

The schooner Reliance, which cleared
from this port January 3lst for fishing
expedition in northern waters, returned
Yesterday in a disabled condition. The
cause of the return of the Reliance was due
TO the carrying away of her board
while off Point Arena. She encountered
very severe gale at that point the wind
blowing almost hurricane from the north
west, and very heavy seas rising over the
decks. When the captain of the Reliance
discovered that he had lost his center-board
he gave up the idea Of proceeding. For
time it was thought that the vessel would
be lost. The crew had all the work they
could attend to in bringing the Reliance
back to port. After the center-b0ard is re-
placed the Reliance will proceed on her
voyage for northern ports.
