the two men Of that name who periShed !:
"Since you left l have made every exer
ton to discover the missing valiSe, car.
pet bag and watches, but a. yet have re-
ceived no information. It appears that
there has been a great deal Of robbery Of
the bodies In some instances bodies
have been discovered with weight at.
tachcd to them. They have BEEN hooked
up, plundered, and then sunk them. I'm
less you can get the number Of the watch,
am afraid there is but little hope Of re.
covering anything" The surviving bro.
ther Of the Messrs. Farrar, states to the
Gazette, that one of them took 800 from
Montreal to Quebec, and received there
for goods sold $372 morc, and he believes
further sums of which no has not yet

money and his watch, as well as his bro
