THE MISSING NARONIC.
Twenty-six Days Out, But Her Agents
Are Still Hopeful That She Will
Turn Up All Right.

New loEK.--rhe Naronic has been
out % days, and has not been spoken
once nor seen since she left the Mcrsey,
early ON the morning OF February II for
this port. Her agents are still hopeful that
she will be heard from.
The hor'fims Register has this TO say ed.
torally: The non arrival of the White
Star steamer Naronc is causing much alarm
although il is probable that she will be
heard from at either Fsyal or in tow with
machinery damaged. That she has no,
been sighted proves nothing rs against
either of these chances. Fayal is port in
the Azores, about 800 miles west OF ST.
Michael, and there is not, il is said, frequent
communication between the two islands.
81 Michael is a coaling station. and nearly
