NEWS OF OVERDUE VESSELS
Is AnxiOusly Awaited by Owners and
Insurers
The Lord Spencer Not Given Up as Lost.
Charles Fairs Gasoline Yacht
Leaves Port

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2T.-The Mer-
chants exchange today announced that
no Information had bsen received fror, the
overdue vessels bound from this city to
foreign ports. While there IS still hopes
of hearing from the Lord Spen Ger, which
left here 200 days ago for Queenstown,
is not believed that the Star OF Austria,
bound TO Queenstowne and the Earl of
Hopetoun for Adelaide, will ever be heard
from again. Although the Lord Brassey
has been out eighty.two days from Hong
kong to Port BakeIey, her absence is ac-
counted for by the fact that she is a light
ship with foul bottom. Much more To-.
cal interest las conferred in the Lord
Spencer than on any local vessel that has
ever sailed from this port. When it was
announced that the British underwriters
were offering so per cent for reinsurance,
there vas rushSto get some of the risks.
The offer of the British underwriters
made business brisk for the brokers. No
overdue vessel for many years has opened
up SO many transactions as the Lord
Spencer. Should the latter fail to arrive
at her destination the shipping and in
surance men of this city will be badly
bitten. If, however, the Lord Spencer
turns up within the next few days, thons-
ands of dollars will be TAXED in by the
spectators.
