He picked up south of the Columbia river broken sealing boats and canoes and a part of d schooner rail. daEit and other tackle belonging to the schooner Umbrina, with which he was in company in the middle of March. The ssaler then haaded for the west coast of Vancou- yer island to land her mate, who was very ill. Since then she has not been heard of and is long overdue. The UTmbrina carried a half white, half h. dian crew, twenty-three all told, and was ,one of the largest of the flet in
 Queen Charlotte sound.
 Captain Ham found a schooner's { boom with sail attached and from the | indications known to him, he believes it belonged to the Triumph, also long overdue and not among the fleet now
