He states that his 23-day trip from San Francisco wai a very rough one. but that he came through the ale prac tically without damage, a small rent In the mtzzen sail being the only damage sustained by the vessel. On five dif ferent occasions he came up to the mouth of the river, but each time a3 verse winds made it Impossible for him to get In. He sighted the pilot schooner off Grays harbor a week ago Thursday.
