PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.-Inquiry at the
Office of Feter Wright & Sons, agents of

Bournemouth beach, elected the informa-

Antwerp on Saturday last. ''We do not
credit the report" said the member of the
firm, 'for the reason that there has been
no weather on the English coast to warrant
such supposition, and besides this the
ship is the most strongly built in the line,
and has just undergone a thorough over
hauling. We are inclined to believe some
foolish passenger has thrown the bottle
overheard, as such things have been done
frequently before. We are not, ourselves,
the least concerned for the safety of the
ship.
