It was blowing hard outside, and just when the pilot wanted to leave her it came on to blow a2 howling gale. The vessel had to be run off shore, and it was only after several days of hard work that the Flint- shire got back to the coast. She was then off Ventura, and there the steamer George Loomis was signaled and Captain Scott was put aboard.
