The Joseph Manta Wrecked On Azores Run
Provincetown reports a devastating loss as the whaling vessel Joseph Manta and her crew are presumed total losses near Pico in the Azores. Master J. G. Frates led the ship from Fayal with hopes of a lengthy voyage and rich catches, yet no insurance covered vessel or outfits. The Manta, famed for speed and craft, had returned multiple times to Azorean ports, carrying oil and supplies before vanishing on a weeks-long voyage. Further details are expected as the message from Fayal Kawak and the party's fate remains uncertain.

Registration closes tonight for state election voters
Last night marked the penultimate registration for the state election. By Monday evening 108,738 had registered after 873 new names added yesterday, with 185 at the central office and 672 in outside wards. Last year’s total was 111,487, and officials doubt this year will reach that mark, estimating a drop of about 1,000 names. A late rush is expected, though 2,700 fewer names may make last year’s total unattainable. The decline is blamed largely on the police listing bill. Inside and outside ward figures were released for yesterday.
