Posted with permission of the transcriber, Diane Moore. Geo. *************** MISSING WARSHIP, CONDOR. While I write there is much anxiety as to the fate of His Majesty's ship Condor. A painful local interest attaches to the dis- appearance of the Condor from the fact that one of the crew is Mr. George JOHN- STON, whose father is a blacksmith on the Whitehaven Castle estate, and who himself served his apprenticeship with Messrs. STODDART, Newtown. To-day Lloyd's agent at Victoria, British Columbia, telegraphed that a ship's boat, apparently from a British man-of-war, with the letter "C" in brass on each bow, had been found at Housett. I trust that the Condor is safe, but I fear the worst. Tom HURD Wednesday, January 29, 1902.
