Right.

Capt. Shoemaker of the revenue cutter
service has received a long report from
Capt. Gushing, commanding the revenue
cutter Bear, relative to the arrival of the
new cutter Nurivak at St Michaei's. The
Nunivak was uilt by special act of Con-
gress for patrol duty in the Yukon river
from St. Michael's to point at least 600
miles in the interior. IL is an immense
river vessel. 30 feet long. drawing only
thirty inches of water. and in salt water

was built, however, for fresh water and
trouble was always apprehended in towing
the vessel from San Francisco to st. Mi
chaeIs Bets were freely made that the
NunlVak would never reach its destination
The distance from San Francisco 10 St
Michaei's is about 400 miles, with a chop
py sea after the Boring sea is reached.
The task of towing the vessel wa: turned
over to Capt. Gushing, in command Of the
Rush, which is hardy half the size of the
NUnivek. The feat was accomplished in
tmTty-two days time, Inc4uuiug stops at
several points for repairs to the Nunivak
and in the face of several gales.
Capt Shoemaker says the feat is Il re-
markaEle one. He expects the Nunivak
