The schooner John G. North ar
rived this evening, 81 days from
Mahukona, Hawaii, with thrill
ing report of an encounter with last |
weeks Northwestern. Capt. Carlson |
says it was blowing fully eighty
miles an hour on the Oath ultimo,
when the North was in latitude
1927 N, longitude 1872 W., and
that the seas which broke on deck |
were the worst he ever experienced.
All the sail set was blown away,
and the weight of water was such
that fifty-five barrels of a deck-load
of molasses were stove and lost,
together with all the water-casks.
Nearly all the provisions were
spoiled, and the cabin and fore
castle were so full of water that dry
clothes were unknown for the rest
Of the voyage. The mate had his
shoulder dislocated in the storm.
