The sloop of war Mohican and revenue
cutter COrwin are back from the Bering
Sea. The Corwin arrived late Sunday
night and the Mohicaa yesterday morning.
Both vessels experienced rough weather at
times on their TRIP, the Mohican having
been in a gale soon after she started south
and the Corwin when she was off Point
Reyes last Friday night. Neither vessel
was damaged to any extent by The heavy
seas which they were obliged to outride,
and their commanders had no startling iu-
formation to impart regarding the storm.
"Blows are frequent at this time of year"
they said.
Among the passengers on the Corwin
was Mrs. HeaIy, wife of the popular COM
mander of the Bear. The Corwin also had
as passengers several persons from Una
laska. The Mohcan brought down five
stranded miners, part Of tho crowd told
about in the marine news of last Saturday

whaer TritoD-John Magilton and David
Sugar by name-aEd one man from the

fered, too, from his hard experience among

Francisco at an early date when the Mo-
hicaD left Unalaska. She may be eX-
pected along pretty soon.

peller mp north and made the trip to San
Francisco with tile help of sail. The Cor
win is in fair trim. She left Unalaska on
the 9th of last month.
Captain Munger of the Corwin says that

Government has made a mistake in agree
ing that seals may be killed with spears
Spears do as much damage as guns. and
the seal will be quickly extermnated if
the slaughter is kept up.
