Senor Dumas called in at Cape Town and then Wellington. He reached Valparaiso, Chile, several weeks ago, and completed the voyage by rounding Cape Horn. He is the first yatchman to do so from west to east. The Legh II is a strongly-built little ship of nine tons, constructed of viraro, a very durable South American timber. Its beam is lift.- Win., its draught a little over sft. and its freeboard only 14'inches. Entrance to the decked-in cabin is by way of a hatch.
