VICTORIA, B. c., July l5--There IS
a probability that II. NJ. 5. Algerne
! may be dispatched from Esquimalt to
| the South Pacific ocean to make a cruise
among the islands Of the South Seas for
traces of possible survivors OF the
Greenock ship Australian, which has
| just been posted as missing at Lloyds
being considered hopelessly overdue on
| voyage from MazatIan to Sydney
| New South Wales. The vessel left the
i! Mexican coast in November of last
| year and no trace has since been found
of her.
The owners, Lang & Fulton of Green
| ock, have asked the British admiralty
| to send warship to search the groups
| OF islands in the South Pacific for prob
| able survivors. Some slight hopes are
| entertained by the owners and rela
tlves Of the missing crew that the yes
| sci may have gone ashore on one of the
| uninhabited South Sea islalsGs and that
| the shipwrecked men are marooned.

case like that against Carlson. we had

was told he must have a lawyer and
he sent for one.
