She is expected to take on a pilot here
Sunday morning.
Early today 32-mile wind swept
away the fog that had covered the
broad mouth of the st. Lawrence river
since last evening and the Montrose
will not experience delay unless the

favorable conditions should pass this
point between o'clock and o'clock
this afternoon. At a. m. today she

Dew, travelling on a faster steamer, has
outstripped the suspects and he will be
in a position to make his attempt at
identification when the John Robin
son" and John Robinson. jr," arrive
at Canadian port. The provincial
police understand that Dew win land

subsequent procedure is a matter of

fact has not been absolutely establish
ed from the police standpoint Never
theless the frequent wireless messages
which have been received since ths
Montrose got into touch with this side
of the Atlantic tend to confirm the be-

the matter of Identification.
These messages are in varying de-
