f. Sander. Capt. Roos. and the steam
schooner Signal. Capt. Bendegard, arrived
during Wednesday night with freight in
the DERRICK line, both having left San
Francisco on the 7th inst Their arrival

being a very fast sailer. Capt. Roos says
he would have been here half an hour
ahead instead of two hours behind the

blown a gale in the Sound, rendering i.
hard work for the tug Discovery to make
Roadway with the schooner in tow. The
