the evening of the 9th instant, shortly
after the steamship Doric left San
Francisco the officer on watch sighted
a vessel which he believes was the Zea-
landia. The only other white painted
! vessel which he could have sighted
would have been transport, and there
twas very little chance Of transport
1 being in those parts, as such vessels
take an entirely different route going
4 home from the Philippines.
