I am very so ty to report that Csplało S. W, Gopgla, the genial and popular Consmo ore of the Steamboat Co's fleet, is very unwell and has been obileed to take to his bed. In his stead Caputo W. E. Clarke now commands the speeds yacht like Honam, with Mr. Webster as bla Chief Officer. It goes without saying, there fore, that the Flomam's enviable repulation, of being as clean as a now pin, will be kept up, for Chief Webster is still am evidence there. Mr, Jones has been prompted to the temporary com. mand of the rungikan, vice Capt. Clarke tropilened to Honam.
