AN OCEAN MYSTERY.
A Vessel in Distress Carried Away
from ReSCuorS.

The Allen line steamer HISTORIAN, Capt.
France, after a stormy passage of twenty
DAYS from Glasgow. rived at Halifax
on the 31st ult. Her captain reports the
weather experienced as something fearful,
gales OF hurricane force being encountered.
On tbe 18th q large vessel WAS sighted
several miles to windward in q disabled
condition. She signaled I'm distress,
want assistance" The HISTORIAN ran
down to her and sIgnaled back that she
would stand by her until the weather mod
Grated. 1t was then blowing terrific bur
r1cane with the seas running very high.
The disabled craft which proved to be the
German ship SHAKESPEARE, OF Bremen, Capt.
Muller, from Hamburg October 26, bound
to New York, had her main AMI mizz4n
masts gone. Her sails were in ribbons.
The crew were all huddled together aft,
with life jackets on. All thursday night
the steamer lay near the ship, burning
flare up lights at intervals. The last
light seen by the lookout on the Mes
torian was at O'Clock the next morn
ing. AS soon as it was daylight on the
18th the steamer proceeded in the dlrec-
ton in which the signal lights OF the Shak-
spere had been seen during the night, but
not a trace of her could be found. She
steamed about for some hours in hope OF
picking up the crew; thinking the ship had
gone down during the night and the men
had taken to the boats. Not vestige
her was to be seen, however, go the Nesto
rian proceeded on her voyage. What be-
same OF the crew OF the snip it is hard to
say at present, but the weekly mail
steamer, the Sardinia. which arrived
Yesterday afternoon, passed close to the
SHAKESPEARE on December %. Some OF her
spars we're then sta nding and she had ap
parently been recently abandoned. Capt
France states that the ships hull appear
ed to be sound, the loss of her sails and
spars being the only thing apparently the
matter with her vessel that could
weather the storm which prevailed the
night the HISTORIAN stood by the Shaks-
pere, he says, was worth sticking to and
getting into port. He thinks she would be
valuable prize and well worth picking up.

CHOULS IN WASHINGTON.
Grave Robberies of FrequentOCcur-

Body snatching is being carried on to
an alarming extent in Washington. The
trustees Of the Congressional cemetery
have offered q liberal reward for the APP
prehension Of the persons who desecrated
the grave OF Mrs. Thomas B. Cheek. Al
though Mr.. Cheek swore out warrant
against Dr. Arthur C. Adams, prominent
physician OF the city, itis evident that the
doctor took no part in robbiug the grave
The warrant was sworn out in Order that
there might be legal inv estigation that
GOULD lead to the detection OF the grave
robbers. Mr.. Adams denies that he is or
was the owner OF buggy in which two
dead bodies we're found. Policeman
Charles w. O'Neil who is also member
of the board of trustees OF the Congress
sional cemetery, swOre out warrant at
the police court that morning against Or.
