 The gasoleue schooner Jennie F. Decker, another of the fishing fleet, paused on her journey to the haAbut banks to enter, clear, and incidentally to have her machinery repaired. Her captain is Owe Renmen of Seattle, who remarked that if he had been aware at the ii le what name was be- ing imposed upon him, he would have registered kick but having borne it for many years, he will remain quiet. It comes out that Miss Pierce, who was married to pr. Dickinson the other day, is the same lady who, just before the last trip of the Humboldt had premonition of impending dis aster. She tried to get another boat, but none were to sail in time, and she started on the ill fated vessel. Not needing this plain confirmation of the previous warning, she took another ship from Seattle and came on to meet her fate.
