ARRIVAL OF THE 'IDA ZIEGLER.'
The favourite clipper ship 'Ida Ziegler,' Captain A. Reynolds, fetched her
anchorage in the harbour at noon yesterday, after one of her usually rapid
passages from England. She was signalled at 430 p.m. on Thursday, described at 6
30 ; and Captain Burgess, port master, boarded her off Tni at eleven p.m.,
working her up all night with light winds. Bought up at seven a.m.. yesterday,
off the Rough buoy, on account of ebb tide and calm, and got underweigh again at
eleven, running up with a fresh sea breeze. The ' Ida Ziegler ' left the docks
on the 17th August, and Plymouth on the 24th, experiencing light winds and fine
weather down the channel. ...The ship is in g. clean and creditable condition,
and is sufficient evidence of the attention of her commander and officers. The
general health of the passengers was good. There were two births on board The
passengers speak highly of Captain Reynolds's conduct on the voyage. The
following testimonial was presented to him before entering the harbour —
