    Some anxiety began to be felt last week
as to the fate of His Majesty's Ship Condor,
which left Esquimault for Honolulu on the
2nd of December, and was due at that port
on the 15th of December, but which had not
arrived on the 15th of this month.  The Sec-
retary of the Admiralty stated on Saturday
that in the possible event of any accident to
her machinery, Necessitating sole dependence
on sail power, her arrival at Honolulu might
still be considerably delayed.  As a measure
of precaution,  H. M. S. Phaeton had been
ordered to proceed from Esquimault and follow
in the probable track of the Condor to the lati-
tude of San Francisco, and then continue the
search to the westward.  The Condor is a sloop
of 980 tons, completed at the end of 1898.  She
was commissioned in November, 1900, and had
then a crew of 129 officers and men.
