The health of the squadron was generally good, that of the Saratoga being unusually so. Most of the squadron are anxiously looking for orders home. The third night after sailing from Kabenda was boarded by H.B.M. steamer Wrangler, the steamer Clive being under our lee, who were quite chagrined at finding the bird was caged.
Lieuts. J.J. GUTHRIE and CHAS. W. HAYS were sent home on the Nightingale. Lieut. TYLER, whose health had been bad during the entire cruise of the Saratoga, also returned in the same vessel.
The three mates of the Nightingale, Messrs. HINDS, WINSLOW and WESTERVILT, were sent home on the ship, to be delivered up to the authorities.
