The schooner Irmigard, which arrived from Colombia River this evening, after a passage of 70 days, experienced some fairly rough weather on the voyage. Several gales were experienced on the run down the American coast, with the result that the schooner sprang a leak, a quantity of water being shipped. The captain
estimates that over 30,000 ft of timber had to be thrown overboard. The faks also necessitated constant pumpg with the gasoline engine, and the steam plant for the pumps was kept
going. On arrival here the vessel had
still some 3ft of water in the hold. I Owing to calms and contrary winds, the schooner took about 20 days to come down from East Cape.
