NINE DAY'S PUMPING.
(Received 11.5 a.m.) PERTH, this day. The leak was first discovered in the Gfael on August 17th, and, despite the steam pump and bucket work by the crew, the water gained on them. A steamer will be dispatched for Albany to look for the other boat. The Gcel was a barque of 2301 tons burden, built at St. Nazaire for the Celtiqu'e Maritime Company. Her port of registration is Nantes.
