for those at sea who were within It's
grasp. When the schooner Lily comes
to port the opinion of the little wind
tanners crew on the late storm should
be of interest If expressed in language
fit for ears polite. The Lily runs
between here and the Umpqua river
and has made the 400 mile passage
at times in steamship style. The Lily
left Umpqua and was reported OUTSIDE
the heads on the afternoon OF January
23. It had been a long passage Tor
the Lily. but was not so bad in view
Of the southeasterly gales the httle
schooner had been hghting.
Darkness fell with the Lily tacking
for the Golden gate. At daylight the
schooner was nowhere to be seen. AS
an extra heavy gale had come with
the dark it was presumed that <he
schooner had run TO sea Tor saIe.S'
but when days passed without the
Lily's return some anxiety deNelopeu
for the coasters safety.
IT takes more than southeast gaze
TO down the Lily and late yesterday
afternoon the schooner bobbed up again
over the horizon and at O'Clock was
u miles out. with a good prospect OF
being safe in port this morning.
