Mr. Thomas Day (editor of the "Rudder"), Mr. Theodore Goodwin, and Mr. Fred. Thurber are on board, and all are well. The Scabird left America on June 19. Sho carries a small 3 horse-power petrol engine, and spreads 400 ft. of canvas. In her small cabin two men can sleep at tho same time. Her destination is Naples, and other Italian ports.

Captain W. S. Gordon, late of the baroue Rona, has joined the Breeze as chief ofllccr. Captain Woebling is at present in charge of the Storm, in place of Captain Broadhoiise, who is ashore on sick leave. Oaptaiu Jtoycs is iu charge of the Breeze.
