The Giants' Bay Mystery .-- Alleged Further Disappearances .-- Extraordinary Rumours .-- Up to the present time no trace has been found of the missing clergyman at Giant's Bay.
Sinister rumours prevail of other persons being missing, including a distinguished military gentleman and his lady, and a foreign infant.
The police we understand, do not attach much importance to this or any other rumour. From the _Lincoln Weekly Supplement_, July 22th. Great gloom has fallen over this otherwise cheerful city in consequence of the rumoured disappearance of our esteemed and reverend townsman, the Reverend Simon Cellarer, from Giants' Bay. With its usual enterprise, the _Supplement_ has despatched a special commissioner to the scene of the mystery, with instructions to interview the leading persons in the place, including the giants, and make a full report of the circumstances attending the abrupt disappearance of the reverend missing one. Full particulars may be expected in our next; which, to meet the demands of our numerous readers, will be charged twopence instead of a penny. It is proposed to reserve one sheet for advertisements.
Applications for space should be made at once. From the _Anthropomorphist_, July 25th. We regret to say we are unable to publish a further instalment of the report of the deeply interesting investigations being made at the present time by our members in Giants' Bay. Contrary to expectation, no communication has been received for several days.
