when the farce was first produced and

for San Francisco on Jan. 9, 1851. The
captain was man of scientific tastes

Beyond the wear and tear of the sails

the dust which falls on the decks of

and PLAT IDLE, but 1t is at variance
with certain known facts. Bits Of

are always present in sea dust and in
