The United States gunboat Yorktown
arrived yesterday afternoon from Oonalaska
after run of nine days, eight of which she
experienced very hard weather.
AS the tight little craft passed the French
flagship Dubourdieu a salute of thirteen
guns was exchanged as the flags of both
vessels were dipped.
The crowd which quickly collected at the
Clay-street landing were sswift to institute
comparisons between the two war vessels,
the old style and the new.
The little Yorktown dropped anchor off
Goat Island, about half mile aslern of the
French vessel, so that a good opportunity
was afforded for critical inspection.
The Yorktown left 0Onalaska on Satur-
day, October 1. Executive Officer Kennedy
said to a CALL reporter who boarded the
ship:
