Yarmouth, n. s., Dec. 23.-The cap
tains and pilots of ocean steamers run
ming into ports in the maritime pro-
vinceS are bringing in reports with

away by some vessel and the buoy
which was stationed at Brazil rock has

been replaced since. Other buoys which
are missing are those which were placed
at Blonde rock, the Fairway buoy off
