Description
Full Text

The new stm. E.K. COLLINS arrived at Chicago on Thursday. On the trip round, she encountered very heavy weather during which she is said to have behaved finely. In backing out of Kenosha in a heavy sea, we learn from the Chicago Democratic Press, the after part of her rudder was split off, leaving enough however, to manage her well after rigging the tiller. She lay in Chicago until Friday afternoon in order to have her rudder repaired.
