• Notes

  Mr. James Tales has returned from Quebec, where he had gone to see if the body of his father, who was lost in the Empress of Ireland disaster, was among those that have been recovered from the lost ship, but was unsuccessful in finding it among the 150 bodies he viewed at Quebec. The late Mr. Tales was bound on a visit to his former home in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire, England, accompanied by Mr. Blackham, of Peterboro, a friend of the family, who intended to be married at his former home and had booked passage for himself and bride to return to Canada in about six weeks, as Mr. Tales had also done. Mr. Blackham is also one of the lost. The official number of the lost passengers and crew is now placed at 1024, with 452 saved. Mr. Joseph Mallard, an employee of the Silversmiths Co., also intended to take passage on the ill-fated vessel but failed to secure it. He intends to leave for the old country in a few weeks.
