After loading 1744 tons of copra at Apia, the Alta left for the Columbia River, andraade tho pafeKipre in the fast time of 41 days. When the Alta came off the Columbia Eibcr sho ■was spoken by a patrol boat, which communicated with a tug, but shortly aftorwardfl a hj.avy blow come on and'delayed tbe'Alta for some dayn. Tho Alta Iβ a eteol barquentino of 1262 tons roßleter, and was built at Glasgow in 1900. She is now owned by Mr. 0. Henry Smith, of San Francisco.
