The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Amundsen' at first believed they had been stolen, -but later stated that he might have left, thorn in Nome, and at once sent telegrams there asking that th-ey bo sent to- him' at Sitka wflhout loss of time, .if they are at Nome. The captain expressed* great concern over the loss of his insl.ru. ments. They were, ,hc said, the 'most valuable of those in his possession; aud without them his observations at the "government observatory at Sitka would be rendered almost futile. Notes and tables were, alsoi inclosed with the installments, and -the captain state-it- .that they were practically piiceless to him. He brought with him a large number of his more 1 delicate instruments to he adjusted at the station. The instruments lost were lor taking magnetic observations, and had ibcen used throughout the trip.
