The Nirvana's Trip To Nassau.
Nassau, New-Providence; February 10, 1886. The schooner yacht Nirvana, of New-York, Kenner [sic] master, belonging to General H. W. Perkins, arrived here on the 30th ultima, all hands well, after a very stormy and eventful voyage. She left Hampton Roads for Nassau on January 6, encountered a heavy gale off Hatteras on the 8th, and by a series of storms was blown out of her course, putting into Bermuda on the 13th, short of water and with loss of flying jibboom, forward skylight, and one of her two boats. She left Bermuda on the 18th, encountered more heavy weather, and at last made Nassau in safety. She showed fine seagoing qualities.
