It is proper to say the package was addressed to an officer somewhat famous for his bear-hunting proclivities. When we left Ohotsk at the close of day, we took Captain Mahood and the governor to dine with us, and when our guests departed we hoisted anchor and steamed away.
Captain Lund burned a blue light as a farewell signal, and we could see an answering fire on shore.
