MR SAINSBURY’S DISAPPEARANCE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association). Wellington, last night. Shortly after Ur Sainsbury left Sydney the chief steward noticed'that lie was in indifferent health. In consequence of this, and of statements of both Mr and Mrs Sainsbury as to Mr Sainsbury’s condition, two stowards were detailed to attend to him, relieving each other every six hours. Mr Sainsbury was restless and unsettled, being depressed at the state of his health, and he feared it was hopleless to expect a complete recovery. On Monday last there was nothing to show that the illness was more acute, and when last seen early on Tuesday morning he appeared to be sleeping soundly in the cabin which was specially set aside for him. The steward attending to him missed his patient at about 5.30 on Tuesday morning, and reported the matter to the officers. The captain put the ship about, and searched for two hours, but found.no trace of the missing man. The position of the vessel was 38.39 S., and 167.12 E. Mrs Sainsbury, who is greatly distressed, exonerates the stewards from blame.
