leat, began 70 shoot AT seals, which We're

an English snip aud took passage in her, it

as soon as possible. We saw my boat half
an hour after my leaving 1t and they Were
apparently following us slowly. Since that
tlne to the present nothing has been
seen Of the boat or amy person who
was in her. Every effort has been made
! both hy the authorities on shore aud

4 lind some trace vi the missing boat and
crew, but without success. The shore has

] been searched both ! water and by land
and the sea has been searched To distance
of five miles from land
| My Impression is THAT finding the seal
greater drag than lie expected, he tried to
take it on tie boat and in so dong capszed

crew Were good boatmen and perfectly
steady and sober. If the boat was turned
