The Journal first published the subjoined news in an extra:
It is hardly necessary to allude to the general good health prevalent among the passengers and crew, for, as usual, she has to report no deaths and no sickness, since her clearance from San Francisco. She sailed from the Island of Islanayo, where the Mail Company have now permanently established their depot for the winter.
A calm sea free from rollers, suffered passengers, and freight to be received on board without difficulty, and a bridge connecting the Island with the main land un the north side of Pfixama, distance a mile or so, will enable the Railroad Company to deliver passengers' baggage and freight by means of a short wharf immediately on board the Steamers.
The Golden Age exchanged signals Dear Cape St. Lucas with a French frigate bound down the coast, going before the wind with studding sails set.
