VICTORIA, B. c., January 17.-Cap-
tain Fleet senior officer on the Esqui-
malt station, suggests that the overdue
sloop- of war Condor is no doubt sailing
to Honolulu, having used up her coal,
owing to the extra lauor entailed on
her engines by the severe storm on
the night of January Sd. He points
out that it is rarely indeed that a Brit
iSh man-ofwar is swamped by a sea,
no matter how heavy the storm.
The United States steamer Grant left
this afternoon for the west coast of
Vancouver Island to investigate the re-
ports of wreckage on the island shores.
The identity of the upturned schooner
which, when last heard of, was batter
ing against Cape Beale, will probably
be learned.

Mail Wharf Closed.
Early yesterday morning the Pacific
Mail wharf went through the process
of fumigation. Chief Nc
Weigh watched the administration of
the sulphur fumes. The fumigators
had quite a job with the wharf on ac-

chief difficulty has been to caulk 1T |
