were much interested in the receipt
of a message by the Merchants Elk
change that the French bark Pierre
Antonine Had arrived at Brow Head,
rear Queenstown, from Portland, with
a cargo of wheat, after record
smashing passage of 81 days. But a
few minutes later another message
came to the Exchange. stating that
the vessel to arrive out was not the
Pierre Antonine, but the Norwegian
ship Sierra Miranda, which sailed
from Portland January 16.LThe Nor
wegian completed the run in 147 days,
which does not hardly come up to the
average passage.
The British ship Caitloch. Captain
Philips, continues to hold the record
passage from this coast to Queens
town. In 1879 she completed the run
from the Columbia River in SO days,
and no other windjammer ever came
anywhere near approaching that
showing. The Caitloch was under
charter to Henry Hewett & Co., and
she carried a cargo of wheat.
