Another Father Seeks Child.
It is Now Established That Valeria Covey Was With Elizabeth Robertson in Automobile on Day of Disaster.
The appeal for news of five-year-old Elizabeth Robertson, who has been missing since the explosion, has brought no word of the little girl, whose father anxiously awaits information, but the name of her companion has been established, and another father knows that his daughter, whom he believed dead, was saved from the Protestant Orphanage.
The Morning Chronicle has already published the story of little Annie Murley, now at the I. O. D. E. Home, who says that she and Elizabeth Robertson and another girl whose name she does not know, were taken from the Protestant Orphanage in a motor car to the Halifax waterfront, where Annie took a "boat" for Dartmouth, going to the Nova Scotia Hospital for treatment. Dr. Lawlor, of that hospital, has informed The Morning Chronicle that the "boat" was a tug-boat which landed Annie and some other patients at the hospital wharf. Annie says that Elizabeth and the other girl-the new girl-for she had been at the Orphanage only a week before the explosion-remained on the Halifax side in the automobile. Where they were taken since is not yet known.
When R. J. Covey, now living at 109 Cunard street, saw the appeal and the description of the unknown little girl who was Elizabeth's companion, he began to hope that it might be his own daughter. Mr. Covey, a widower, had three children, two boys an a girl. Just a week before the explosion he took them to the Home. This seemed to suggest that his seven-year-old daughter, Valeria May Covey, was the other little girl of whom Annie Murley spoke.
Accordingly, yesterday he went to the I. O. D. E. Home and saw Annie. She said that she did not know the name of the "new" girl, but that she wore a brown "middy." Mr. Covey knew that his daughter had such a garment and was informed by a member of the Protestant Orphanage Committee that little Valeria Covey was the only girl admitted to the Home that week and that she was the only girl who would be wearing a brown "middy," as the other inmates of the Home all wore regulation uniform.
This information has satisfied Mr. Covey that his daughter whom he thought dead, was saved from the Home. But he does not know where she is. Now two anxious fathers, instead of one, are searching for their children. Here is a case where nothing should be left undone to restore them to their fathers.
