Extract from Victoria Police Gazette.
(From Gazette, 1881, page 171.)
Information is requested respecting Sheers, who is said to have been one of the crew of the schooner “Wyvern” between 1854 and 1856, and he may also have been engaged on board the cutter “ Loelia,” during or subsequent to the period these vessels were owned by the Victorian Government. The « Wyvern,” after going into private hands, traded to Batavia, New' Zealand, and other places, and is alleged to have been wrecked about 1857. The statement respecting the wreck there is reason to doubt, as a Sandridge resident says he saw her at Callao after she was reported as missing. This inquiry is made at the instance of William Sheers, care of James Vare, Esq., Bitterne, Hants, England.—O. 4522.—11th July, 1881.
