heavy gale. The sea ran SO nigh that sew
eral ventilators were carried away and q
boat smashed to pieces. On that day the
vessel only made 232 miles aud on the fol-
lowing day so fierce was the wind the ves-
sci made scarcely 113 miles. During the
next week q gale blew continuously and
the speed was retarded TO such
on extent that she reached here three days
behind time. None OF the passengers WAS
injured.
Other incoming steamships report fierce
storms and bitter cold weather at sea.

The soldiers returned the fire with the
above results. 1t Is not known how badly
