 The Alert was delayed by stress of weather, and did not arrive back from her last run from which she was due last evening till 9 o'clock this morr- ing. She departed again on her reg ular mall run to Niblack, Dolomi and Chomly about noon, taking a number of miners to the first two named places, and some loggers for the camps in Cholmondeley sound.
 The tug Novelty, which left nearly two weeks ago with barge and scow laden with lumber for Excursion inlet, has not yet returned, and some uneas- mess for her safety was felt until she was reported to have reached Wran- gell narrows. She is towing the barge and couple of scows hack, and will doubtless arrive safe and sound within a day or two, notwithstanding the untoward state of the weather. Capt. Stack is at the helm, and he may be depended upon to dodge anything other than an unforeseen and una voidable mishap.
