The English sealing schooner
Borealis, Washburg master, arrived |
Yesterday morning 40 days from |
Victoria. Rough weather was ex-
perienced all the way. Several |
times it was thought that the little
schooner would never weather the |
gales. Off Cape Flattery she struck
L specially bad blow. No vessels |
we're sighted during the whole voy-
'ge. The captain says he is sure
here will be many small vessels
n here soon, on account of the very
'ough weather. During one of the
torms, when about % days out
rom Victoria, most of the water
vas lost. The Borealis will take
m water and sail for Yokohama
