No seals were to be seen, but there was blood on deck, and other evidences that the crew had been engaged in seal- img. The Rush took charge of her, inspite of the rotest of thecaptain, who urged that every skin Phat he had was obtained in the open waters of the Pacific. The rush took the prizes to Oun- alaska, Two days later the Annie Peck was seized near St. George, which is not far from Ounalasko.

The afternoon storm, which barely touched this city, was very violentin Mary- land east of Washington, and did considerable damage in Baltimore. Between 2 and3 o'clock this morning a thunder storm visited the city and there was a copious rainfall with a great and re- freshing fall of the temperature, predicted by the Weather Bureau.
