Arrival of the Yankee Blade.

The Independent Steamship Yankee Blade, Capt. Randall, arrived yesterday afternoon from Panama, with 400 passengers, and Express freight of Adams &. Co. and Wells, Fargo &. Co.

We are under obligations to Mr. Vought, Purser, for a neat and legibly written list of passengers and memoranda. We received by way of New Orleans, by telegraph from New York, six days later from Europe, the points of which we publish below.

MEMORANDA.

The Yankee Blade sailed from San Francisco June 1st at 6 o'clock P.M. and passed the Sierra Nevada bound for San Juan, the same night at 11 o'clock. The John L. Stephens, starting about 80 minutes after us, kept in compayy nearly 70 hours, when we lost sight of her on the starboard beam. On the 4th, owing to a derangement of the force pump, we ran 14 hours with only one boiler. On the 10th, made the J. L. Stephens off the larboard bow, passed and lost sight of her the same night, and arrived at Panama at 2-1/2 o'clock the morning of the 14th, enabling our passengers to reach Aspinwall the name day, being but 11 miles mule travel on the Isthmus. Sailed from Panama on the 17th at 9-1/2 P.M., with 400 passengers, and Wells Fargo & Co.'s and Adams & Co.'s Expresses. Encountered severe head winds nearly all the way, and arrived at San Francisco July 1st, 5-1/2 P.M.

Roger Daniels

This is a useful book for anyone who has an interest in learning brief histories of most groups of immigrants to the United States.
