PUNTA ARENAS, ARGENTINE REPUBLIC, JULY 27—(SPECIAL)—Izaak Walton Jones,
a citizen of this city, reports having sighted the Vladivostok squadron
three miles and a quarter off Cape Horn, about noon to-day. He first saw
the fleet come down the east coast of South America, turn abruptly
around the Horn and disappear rapidly up the west coast. There were
three large ships and they were traveling thirty knots an hour. When
last seen they were turning the corner two miles north of Valparaiso.
Mr. Jones at once brought the news to this city, and, after renewing his
supplies, will return to the cape where he is fishing.
No. 6.
DUNDEE, SCOTLAND, JULY 27—(SPECIAL)—Mr. Jem Wethersby, first officer of
the Peruvian bark Calisaya, arrived here this afternoon with the report
that he found evidences of the Vladivostok squadron. At seven bells
night before last, while doing his trick at the watch, he passed a large
piece of wreckage which, he swears, was probably part of a vessel sunk
by the what’s-its-name squadron. Mr. Wethersby has had much experience
in swearing, having been a mate on a tramp steamer for twelve years.
Late this evening we endeavored to get a complete story from Mr. W., but
he was not to be found.

airships._
