Ode day, when the police had'abont exhausted their efforts and were going to declare the game lost, and the poor father’s. heart was full of misery, the superintendent received a telegram from Victoria, Vancouver, that agaui plunged ns all into a fever. At the same time it lifted our hopes and overwhelmed us with despair. This telegram was short; it might mean nothing, it might mean everything. All it said was; "Xobag woman Answering description Annie Ralston sailed in steamship Ketoto to-day, a p. m., with two Chinese servants. ••Batxjs, Chief.” Upon receiving this telegram the superintendent called as together for immediate consultation.
