enough and promising enough. to
warrant her departure for the Golden
Gate and hurried preparations were
made. At 4 o'clock the 97-foos boat,
with her broad over-hanging guards,
and her false upper-works, left down
with these gentlemen and Engineer
Nick Clinton on board, for the bar
and the sea, and the best hope OF
"all hands" so with them for safe
and speedy trip to her destination.
If anyone can get her to the Bay
City with ease and safety it is Cap.
tain Arthur Leighton. 1t is not
known whether she got out last
evening or not, but everything being
Ipropitious down that way, the pre-
sumption is that she did.
The report comes down the river
that the o. R. g. N. Company is ex-
tending the cabin accommodations

The steamer Nome City was look
ed for last evening, but she did show

usual lumber run.

Alliance has been sold and will de-
part from these waters; but who has
bought her. or where she goes are
