RE: A Notice *A notice in another hand is tacked up along with the rest*
Port Hampshire authorities have confirmed that this morning they dispatched a search and rescue ship under the command of Captain Reschiman to investigate claims that a fishing vessel travelling close to the cliff lined coast below the Battle Fens swamps between Fort Velensk and Port Hampshire sighted a badly damaged wreck upon the shore.
What has given authorities cause for alarm is that the ship matches the description of the 'Coastal Queen’ the ship upon which Dirk Driss escaped from Point harbour and which was reportedly beached near the island of Ceasin after the severe storms recently.
The owner of the fishing vessel has told us that he swore he saw a fire on the beach but as it was approaching nightfall was not willing to risk his ship on the dangerous shoals to approach the shore in darkness. 'It is a barren and godforsaken strip of beach where it is’ stated the fishing vessel owner.
Captain Hoffman, head of the Port Hampshire Militia believes we will have word of Dirk Driss’s fate once and for all within a few days.
