Upon this letter the New Haven Palladium
makes the following comments:
The above letter excites considerable interest
in this vicinity, the Smith futile having been built
in the adjoining village of Fair Haven, where she
was purchased by a company from Newburyport.
In conversation yesterday with Smith Tnue, Esq
one of the former owners of the vessel and the
gentleman after whom she was named, we learned
that she actually sailed from Newburvport on the
day named in the letter, Nov. 90 1896 for 8regon,
since which time nothing has been heard from her
Her captains name was Sylvester Ii is we'll
known that there was severe gale on the 26th of
November of the year named, the gale in which
the steamer Atlantic was lost in Long Island Sound
The M after the captains name looks as if he in
tended to write Master and afterwards wrote
captain capte.' This appearance, with. the
other facts, give 10 the letter an appea rance OF
genuiueness-but there are some expressions about
it which creates suspicion that il may be a cruel
hoax. Mr.. futile is in doubt to the true chsrac-
ter Of tie doeument-but his opinion rather prepon-
deaes to the side of the truthiulness of the letter.
II he Is right the affair is most shocking one and
the news will be terrible TO the friends Of the IN.
