Loss of the Colombia Mail

By Editor

IN a letter dated August 14, Elder F. L. Perry, of Peru, states that the steamship “Colombia,” carrying American mail, which left the port of Panama about August 4, was wrecked off the northern coast of Peru, and all mail aboard was lost. Thus letters sent out about that time to Peru, or other points on the West Coast, may not reach their destination. In this connection we wish to correct a statement made in the REVIEW of August 15. It read that Brother Frank E. Hinckley, of Boston, would be the only representative in all Peru. It should have read “in all that part of Peru,” meaning Arequipa, the place where he was to locate.
