tine George c. Perkins now lying at
anchor of the q. r. & n, piers. in this
harbor, lumber laden for San Pedro. is
missing from his ship and his family
for his wife and daughter are aboard
the Perkins for the voyage.
He came ashore on Friday afternoon
about o'clock in quest of a sea-cook
to ship for the voyage. He came ashore
in one OF the ships small boats and land
ed at the o. r. & n. dock slip just
east of Fourteenth street where the boat
was found later BY the first mate of the
Perkins, who came ashore at the be-
hest of Mrs. Hansen to look up her hus-
band and his superior officer. The mate
made dillingent search on his own hook,
and that proving unavailable he invoked
the aid of the police at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Every man on the
force from Chief Hallock down. took a
hand in locating Captain Hansen, but up
TO midnight no trace of him mad been
discovered.
Mrs Hansen and her young daughter
are nearly frantic with apprehension,
the conclusion being that the husband
and father is drowned; that in taking
his boat for return to the vessel late
at night he has fallen into the bay and
been swept away by the tide.
