THE SAINSBURY TRAGEDY.
FURTHER DETAILS. [Per Pbess Association.] WELLINGTON, April 18. Shortly after Mr Sainsbury left Sydney the chief steward noticed that he was in indifferent 'health. In consequence of this and of statements by both Mr and Mrs Sainsbury as to Sainsbury*s condition, two stewards were detailed to attend him, relieving each other every six hours. Sainsbury was restless and unsettled, being depressed at the state of his health, and he feared that it was hopeless to expect a complete recovery. On Monday last there was nothing to show that 'his illness was more acute, and when last seen, early on Tuesday morning, he appeared to be sleeping soundly in the cabin,' which *had been specially set aside for him. The steward attending him missed his patient about 5.30, on Tuesday morning, and reported the matter to the officers. The Captain put -the ship about and searched for two hours/ but discovered no trace of the missing man. The ■ position of the vessel was 38.38 south, and 167.12 east. Mrs ;SauM. bury, who is greatly distressed, exonerates the stewards from blame.
