González de Bernado, Consul for Guatemala, restding ab 74, Waterloo Road, Ho Mun Tir, was found to be missing from hei home. This alarming discovery was made shortly, after four in the afternoon and although a thorough search was made in the house and through the grounds in the vicinity. no trace of the child could be found.
The first inking of the calamity was given when the little girl had absented herself rather longer than usual, a hue and cry at once being raised.
