While the gargo of the Zereya was in course of discharge at Victoria, B., two chests were broken and rejected by thy consignons.

It is said that the vessel was discharged at Victoria, B.C., whereas she unloaded Bt Port

Moody.

It also mentions that two ehoals were broken and rejected by the Comignzes. This is certainly an error, na the consignees reside in Canada. The next suspicious statement is that after the cargo was loaded on the cars, some one looked into one of the chesta. To do this he must have had the assistance of

grow-bar or

some such instrument, of which ao mention is made; and the anuslading statement that the cargo belong to Mesara Frazer & Co. of New York is known to be falso, as they' had no interest whatavor in it, having acted simply as agents of the Canadian-Pacific railway, to whom the ship was consigned.
